Remember to bring your lunch. Please help us create a nut-free environment. We want to avoid any possible allergies.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Remember your sun cream. 

SUPER IMPORTANT: Students must have access to an email account at all times. You will need a Google Account for Gmail. If you are under the age of 13 we suggest setting up a family account, you can allow your children access to this account while on camp and then you may change the password after if you wish.

Please don't forget your Username & Password for Gmail. Students can use their School Gmail accounts but must be able to access the emails.

Please make sure to write down your login details if you have existing accounts with Scratch, Tynker, Gmail etc. and put them somewhere safe and bring them with you.

Important Notice

Please remember to bring your laptop. You don't need anything special or high spec, just something with WiFi. iPads and tablets can be used, but we do suggest a laptop as best.
