There are 100 spaces for participants available per day. We will be split into four groups of 25 to rotate around the activities. If you are bringing more than one section on the same day (eg rainbows and guides) you may be in different groups during the day. Groupings will be of similar age as this allows the instructors to pitch the sessions at different levels dependent on age.
The activities are suitable for all sections. Rainbows need to ride the toboggan with an adult.
We have limited places left so please provide a back up date if your first date is already full.
