FAQs
Q: What hours does camp run?
A: Camp runs from 9.00am-3.30pm, Monday - Friday. We offer early drop off from 8.30am and late pick up is available till 4pm. Please be in touch if you require a later pick up.
Q: Can I send my child for only part of the week?
A: Our experience and that of the CGI camps worldwide, shows the benefit of children attending the full week of camp. We encourage children to book for the full week(s) as it avoids disruption and social anxiety from joining established groups, ensures continuity of activities, and also allows us to maintain optimal camper-to-staff ratios, enhancing safety and supervision.
Q: Do I need to send food or drink with my child?
A: Nope! We are providing hot lunch, and snacks for the children at no extra charge. Please send your child with a labelled water bottle.
Q: What if my child has allergies or dietary requirements?
A: Please let us know in advance of any allergies or dietary needs. We will do our best to accommodate and ensure your child’s safety. If your child requires medication to be given during camp, this must be clearly submitted in writing in advance.
Q: What should my child wear to camp?
A: Children should wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and suitable footwear. As we’ll be doing messy activities, please send clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. A camp T-shirt will need to be worn on certain days, we’ll let you know in advance.
Q: Will the children be going on any trips?
A: Yes! Main Camp (Years 1+) will go on trips, including one big trip each week, as well as weekly swimming. Older children (Years 4+) will enjoy additional trips during the week. Kiddie Camp will have daily on-site entertainment with a fun-filled programme tailored just for them.
Q: My children are getting older. Will they still enjoy camp?
A: Yes! There are different schedules for each age group and they will feel that they are getting a new experience. We've got an exciting schedule planned for kids in Years 4-6 with amazing entertainers, shows, crafts and trips!
Q. Can my three year old come to camp?
A. Yes! We've got a great program onsite for nursery and reception children, with entertainers and lots of fun every day! Unfortunately we don't have the staff to support children in nappies, so all kids will need to be toilet trained.
Q: Do you offer sibling or other discounts?
A: We offer a 10% discount for a second or any subsequent child. In addition, it is the policy of Chabad Lubavitch that no child is refused admission for financial reasons.

Q: What safety precautions will you be taking in camp and on trips?
A: We will be working with CST, Chabad Lubavitch Security Commission and Chabad Lubavitch Safeguarding Advisor to ensure an all around safe environment for the children.There will always be a trained security guard on site. We have a video access control at the gates and CCTV. All staff will have background checks. We will have ample staff on trips and use a buddy system.
