A pre-visit is essential before your first camp.
Outdoor Accommodation
We have 16 tents available, each of which will sleep 2 or 3 children depending on their size. Tents are erected within our enclosed school field, with easy access to toilets. Included in the cost is the use of the camping hut which doubles as a classroom and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen and the use of the main building once the day visitors have left our site.
Catering.
Self catering facilities, including a large freezer, refrigerator, six burner gas cooker, washing-up facilities and a dishwasher which are housed in kitchen, together with plates, cutlery, and cooking utensils. If you intend to prepare all your own meals, try to persuade other adults to come and cook for you - it’s hard work when you are on 24hr. duty, and, of course teams of children laying up and clearing pots also saves your energy so that you can enjoy the camp too. Other options include using the local facilities. We have negotiated with our two local pubs, within walking distance, who will make a dining room available. Obviously, both require booking well in advance. There in also a fish and chip shop and a pizzeria take-away a short drive away (Bawtry) , which will take orders over the phone for you to collect. We have a gas barbecue on site for the warm summer evenings. There is no additional charge for the use of the barbecue, providing it is left clean, if not there will a £10 charge for gas and cleaning
Activities
Camping is an experience that combines the academic and social development of children. All of the National Curriculum activities included in this web-site are available for camping groups. A Member of the Centre staff will tutor your class throughout the day. Not only will this, again, take some of the pressure off you, but will also ensure that the facilities we offer are being used to the greatest benefit for your children
In the evening there are local walks and the quarry to explore.
