Camp bookings now open

Further to recent emails about Summer Camp at Southfield House, we can confirm bookings are now open.  You can book on Entrymaster by clicking on https://wylyevalleypc.entrymaster.online.  This requires you to book your space and all we’re asking for now is a £50 deposit by the end of May.  We will then set up two instalment payments to help parents spread the cost.

Although the deadline is 31st May, please bear in mind that bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis and we do have finite capacity.

I’ve copied detailed information below sent in March to remind everyone about the 3 camps held but please do get in touch if you need any guidance.  We’ll be scheduling a pre-camp briefing to help advise on finer details, what you need to bring, etc

We look forward to welcoming lots of members to Summer Camp!
