A VERY WARM WELCOME

Dear Parents

I am delighted to welcome you to Summer Camp at Reddam House Berkshire

We are so excited to meet you and hope that you will have a very happy time with us at this fun and busy summer camp.

Led by highly qualified and experienced professionals in their field, our staff will support and guide campers through this exciting and engaging adventure of learning.

Our campers grow in confidence through taking ownership and responsibility for their personal belongings, preparing for the day and thinking for themselves.

The hands-on activities build independent learning and socialisation Campers will experience on-site activities led by our fantastic team of staff and additional off-site activities led by qualified professionals to really experience the best of outdoor activities.

The Camp caters to the needs of each individual camper and we aim to create memorable experiences, cultural diversity and a respect for others during the course The Camp is English speaking and we will encourage campers to communicate in English at all times

A short language assessment will be sent out to your child prior to their arrival so that we can provide them with the right support.

The team and I look forward to welcoming you to campus very soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us

With best w

COMING TO SCHOOL

If you are bringing your child to Camp, we recommend that you use the main drive as there is a car park available to all parents Morning drop off and afternoon pick up will be from the Welcome Tent.

At usual pick up time (16.00 for NANO Camp) Students will be released from the Welcome Tent.

At pick up for Main Camp / Extended Day for NANO (17.30) students will be released from Drake Boarding House.

KEEPING IN TOUCH

Campers appreciate letters, postcards and phone calls. It is very likely that during the first few days of camp, your child may feel homesick, so rest assured that we’ll encourage them to call you and that we’ll take care to ensure they are integrating well. We have a buddy system for those who are struggling to settle and all students will have their mentor if they need someone to talk to.

When contacting your child, we recommend that you don’t dwell on home problems, favourite pets, or how much everybody misses them. Try to be cheerful and chatty.

Campers are allowed to make or receive phone calls during their free time between 5 30 - 6 30pm UK time, as phones are not to be carried during activities or lessons, or after evening activities

To check on your child’s progress, feel free to call the duty phone and speak to their designated monitor The school office is open from 09:00 – 15:00 each week day

POCKET MONEY

The amount of pocket money given to a camper is at your discretion.

All costs for meals and excursions are included, but please remember your child may like to bring money for snacks and refreshments, and for presents or souvenirs (we recommend no more than £50/per week).

You will be asked to leave your child’s pocket money with a Camp Leader upon arrival, along with any travel documents and mobile phones.

NANO Camp students may wish to bring some spending money on excursions. We recommend a total amount of £10 per excursion.

MOBILE PHONES

Campers may bring a mobile phone with them, but they must ensure their phones are signed in on arrival and returned each evening to be put on charge.

Failure to adhere to this rule will result in confiscation of the phone

MISSING HOME

Staying away from home can be an exciting adventure for many people, but for others the idea of being away from home for any period of time can cause homesickness. Homesickness is something we all experience at some point, and we understand that emotions to being away from home may need support and guidance We therefore aim to make the transition of nervous individuals to independent campers who are able to cope with change We will encourage campers to communicate with us if and when they feel a bit low and if necessary we will enable a call home.

MAKING FRIENDS BEFORE YOU GO

If you would like the opportunity to meet a fellow camper before coming to Camp we can facilitate setting up a Teams Meeting so you can socialise and chat. This is a lovely way to start Camp and ensure you see at least one familiar face on the first day

10

MEDICATIONS/ HEALTH CARE

We need to know your child’s medical information before they arrive, so if your child has any specific medical needs, please make us aware of it in the medical section of the application form. If you forget, please get in touch so we can send you an alternative medical form to complete before arrival

If your child needs regular medication while at Camp, please give our first aider the relevant medicines in their original prescription container, along with the pharmacy instructions.

Place the prescription containers in a clean Ziplock bag labelled with your child’s name and date of birth. Please do not pack your child’s medication in with their luggage.

COVID

Following announcement by the UK Government, we are very happy to inform you that Reddam House School can lift all of its pandemicrelated measures Life on campus can go on without any public health-related restrictions.
