Minimum age: 8+ — The minimum age for participation is 8 years old.

Confirmed booking — Only participants with a pre‑booked space can take part. We cannot accept on‑the‑day sign‑ups.

Weather‑appropriate outdoor clothing (we can provide waterproofs)

Towel
Spare shoes (close toed and secure, no crocs, sliders or flip flops)

🤝Behaviour Expectations
We aim to create a positive, welcoming environment where every young person feels safe, included, and able to take part. We expect all participants to show respect for staff, other young people, equipment, and the natural environment. Our team will support children who feel nervous, unsure, or need help settling in. If any behaviour affects safety or the experience of others, participants will be asked to sit out.
🩺 Medical and Additional Needs
We welcome young people with a wide range of needs and will always do our best to support them. If your child has medical requirements, allergies, or additional support needs, please share this during booking or contact us in advance so we can plan appropriately.
🛡️Safety & Supervision
All activities are delivered by qualified instructors. To keep sessions safe and enjoyable, we rely on participants being able to follow instructions and engage positively. Instructors lead the activity itself, but the responsibility for a young person’s general conduct and readiness to take part remains with their parent or carer, who must stay on site to provide support if needed.
🎫 Important Booking Note
Only young people with a confirmed booking will be able to participate. We cannot accept on‑the‑door sign‑ups on the day.
