During the entire camp, we have responsible people who look after the children and several of the adults have first aid and life saving courses. In addition, we have our own HSE manager throughout the camp.
We would very much like to have your children visit and are very concerned that the camp should be a safe and positive experience for all participants. It is perfectly fine to contact us by email or phone both before, during and after the camp.
During the camp, we will have an on-call phone that is available around the clock. It may also be a good idea to equip your child with a mobile phone in case of acute homesickness or you need to contact them directly.
