‘My 6 and 7 year old boys just finished their first summer forest camp. I asked them to rate it out of ten and they said infinity. They loved every day and were buzzing about the activities. Highly recommended.’
—Claire Mc Donald
Fun Packed Days

The signing of waivers is standard practice across the board in many such businesses

A backpack for them to carry their gear if not being used.
