Name everything!

All items should be clearly named with your child's name. This includes every item of clothing, equipment and food.

There are over 60 people on site, and it is very easy for items to get lost or confused with someone else's - especially as many children have the same or similar items.

Pack your own bag

Please ensure that your child packs their own bag if they are old enough to do so.

In any case, they must know where everything is in their bag and be able to pack and unpack it themselves.

Missing items?

We ask that you bring every item on this list. Everything on it has been carefully considered and is required for activities, safety and/or comfort.

If you are missing items, we have a limited supply of spare camping equipment available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please let us know if you need to borrow anything.

Amazon kit list

We have curated a list of items on Amazon which cover most of the items on this list.

Please note we cannot recommend any specific item or brand and its inclusion does not imply any endorsement or recommendation.
