Residential Summer Camps - What to Bring

Clothing, shoes & accessories
  • Tracksuits, leggings, fleeces & combats, shorts & t-shirts - layers work best. Kids will get wet and mucky, so old clothes are ideal. Jeans are not suitable for activities. 
  • Shorts must be long sports shorts that cover the thigh to prevent rope burn and chaffing from equipment during activities. No cut-off or designer shorts.
  • Rain jacket & trousers – it will rain!
  • Woolly hat, gloves & warm socks – useful even in the summer months.
  • Two pairs of trainers/runners for activities – one to keep dry and one to get wet.
  • Comfortable clothes & pair of runners, sandals or crocs - for wearing in the evening after activities & travelling home.
  • Two sets of swimwear – for water activities. A nylon thermal top is useful but not essential. Wetsuits are provided. 
  • Nightwear & underwear – enough for the whole stay!
  • Sunhat/baseball cap & sunglasses – for sunny days.
  • Plastic bags x 2 – essential for wet and muddy clothes. 
  • A net laundry bag – for pre-booked laundry service.  Please clearly label all of your childs belongings.

  • Towels x 4  – two for dorm room & two for activities.
  • Toiletries – toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, roll on deodorant etc. There are no toiletries sold on-site.  No aerosol deodorant permitted at camp.
  • Sunscreen & lip balm – because the sun does come out!
