- •A change of clothes, suitable for the season
- •Pyjamas, underwear, socks, shower flip-flops
- •Toiletries, toothbrush and toothpaste
- •Small backpack for outdoor activities
- •A favourite small cuddly toy - it helps a lot with younger children
- •Phones and smartwatches/bands with GSM/LTE are allowed, but children and teenagers may use them only in their rooms - not during activities, not in the dining room, not during shared breaks. We ask parents to respect this strictly and not to expect contact outside the time their child is in the room. We also take no responsibility for content children view or play on their own devices; if we notice inappropriate content we will react immediately, but we will not monitor in any way how children use their communication devices in their rooms.
- •Summer camps: a swimsuit and towel; if the weather allows and we manage to book a lifeguard, we plan to take the children swimming
Paperwork and health
- •A completed participant card - online, before the camp or event.
- •Medication - in its original packaging, with dosage instructions, handed to a counsellor on arrival day.
- •A parent/guardian phone number where you can be reached throughout the stay - you provide it in the participant card.
