Preparing for Camp
Before you arrive
We ask that you make a booking online filling in relevant information such as name, dates of birth, email address, medical conditions etc. These forms will then be at the camp ready for the day/s that you have booked. They will contain all of the vital information for safety and welfare including all of the emergency contact information and medical details.
Your child will need
• Lunch which should include a separate drink to the one they will be using throughout the day.
• A small snack for their afternoon break
• Lots to drink
• Please ensure that you arrive in clothes suitable for an outdoor based muddy activities i.e. T-shirt, tracksuit, shorts, etc.
• Trainers are a must as it is very difficult to run in sandals, flip flops or crocs.
• All equipment is provided.
• Sun cream and a hat or cap when the weather is warm.
Your child won't need
• Sports equipment - we have got plenty
• Cameras
• Computer Games, MP3 players
• Money
• Valuable watches/jewellery
Medication
We are required to keep a record of any medication administered to children whilst on the camp. You must inform us clearly if medication is required to be given. The Attendance Form is used to record medication administered e.g. Antibiotics or Inhaler. The Parent/Carer needs to sign the form giving his/her permission for a staff member to administer the medicine.
Epi-Pens
If your child may have need of an epi-pen you must indicate this on the Attendance Form in the medical section of the form. You must also speak with the site manager about the condition.
We will need written permission from the parent allowing us to administer treatment in an emergency. We have an agreement between O'Tooles and the parent for this purpose. Whilst some of our staff may have had training, it is a condition of the agreement that someone with the appropriate experience gives adequate training in how to administer the injection.
