Campfire Meal
Meals consist of a pork sausage in a roll that the children will cook over the campfire, along with a snack hamper filled with doughnuts, cookies, crisps and fruit. Water is available at all times for the children to drink. If your child wants to bring his or her own lunch to camp then we are happy to store that appropriately. We can cater for most dietary requirements with notice.

Safety & Security
This is our first and last concern. The Camp takes place on fenced private land, children are supervised at all times. All staff are briefed on emergency and incident procedures and qualified first aid staff are on site at all times. Full instructions are given to all children before activities are undertaken. Activities take place over rough natural ground and although we take every precaution to ensure safe play, trips and bumps may occur. REA takes care to ensure all activities are in keeping with the environmental policies of the area. Rugged Earth Adventures holds full public liability insurance.
We are not responsible for children that do not adhere to staff briefing and instructions.
