We fully believe in this as a way to give responsibility to the children. However, sometimes children forget certain items, so we do recommend that you check your child’s packing. Less confusion and misplacement of items occurs if children pack a large bag with smaller bags inside i.e. an underwear bag, clothes bag, eating utensils bag (the light weight cloth bags are ideal for these items as they can double up as a tea towel too). Please can you name as many items as possible so things can be returned to their rightful owner. Every year we dispose of a multitude of unclaimed items. Forbidden items Expensiv e cameras Electronic games Mobile phones I pods/MP3 players/radios etc Penkniv es Hairdryers/straighteners Jewellery (with the exception of stud earrings and watches) Aerosols Make up Fire lighting equipment of any type (children will not be lighting any fires) Please Note I f your child is caught with any forbidden items, they will be confiscated and only returned when your child gets back to school. This may result in your child being sent home from camp. The school will not take responsibility for any lost items. I f you hav e any queries about this list please see Mr Wickham or Mrs Bennett. Home school agreement • As part of the paperwork for camp your child and yourself will be asked to sign a home school agreement. • We as staff will also be signing this so that we are all agreed on the expectations for camp. • Your child will not be allowed to attend camp if this form is not signed by all parties.
