Make sure your children and young people are prepared for the climate by following our recommended kit list!
Regardless of the season, you should always make sure you pack older clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, make sure arms and legs are covered and that multiple layers are always available to be removed or added if necessary!
Waterproofs will always be helpful, and all shoes should be closed-toe.
Don’t forget to pack spares!
Spring can be a temperamental season, so be sure to pack for both the cold and the sun!
Whilst the Summer is warmer overall, don’t forget to prepare for cooler days too!
Autumn is very unpredictable, so be prepared for fluctuating temperature and lots of rain!
It’s all about the layers – don’t underestimate the British Winter and make sure to pack warm!
The above kit list applies to both young people and adults attending.
