SPECIALIST CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED BY THE CENTRE

Children may get wet and muddy everyday. Whilst clothes can be dried in the drying room overnight, underwear and socks will need to be changed at least once a day.

The following is a kit list for each child to bring with them. It is an essential list regardless of the season. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that their child is adequately equipped. Safety outdoors starts with basic clothing.

Please make sure that ALL clothing is labelled.
