Cefn Lea letters

Dear Parents/Guardians Re: Cefn Lea Camp – Summer 2012

We will be meeting on Monday 2nd July at 9.00am at the back car park (coach car park) of Oswaldtwistle Mills, and aim to return for no later than 3.00pm on Friday 6th July at the same place. We meet at the back car park of Oswaldtwistle Mills because there is more space, however, your child can arrive at Rhyddings and they will then be escorted over to the centre by a member of staff.

We will be travelling to Cefn Lea by coach and stopping on the way so can you please ensure your child has a packed lunch or money to buy lunch. We hope to arrive at the site around 2.00pm.

We are really looking forward to camp this year and have an action packed week planned. Most of the activities require casual clothing which is practical and inexpensive. They will also need clothes and footwear that will get wet.

The cabins have their own kitchens and basic cooking utensils. For more information about the facilities take a look at the website: www.cefnlea.co.uk

Any valuables the students bring with them are at their own risk; staff cannot be held responsible for looking after mobile phones etc. Parents should also note that mobile reception is limited on site but there is a pay phone which students can use.

Medical issues will be dealt with by qualified First Aiders, Mrs. Fletcher and Mr. Fielding.

You must be aware that at certain times, pupils will not be under the direct supervision of an accompanying adult.
