Stayaway activities were so popular with the kids at Green Park that we have arranged to come back again this year. However this year we will not be able to offer overnight accommodation but will run an extended day programme Wed to Fri to allow for time to socialise and also we encourage parents and siblings to come for Fri evening and the programme on Sat.
A 4 day programme from 21 - 24 Aug 2024 for up to 12 children.
A programme based on secondary level children coming alone for Wed to Fri from 1000 on 21 Aug 24. We will run a Sat programme (24 Aug) with family involvement from 1000 - 1500.
A fun packed activity programme including giant swing, archery, low ropes, swimming etc etc.
Lunch and dinner will be provided Wed - Fri inc and Lunch on Sat.
Accommodation for all attendees Wed to Fri night inc. Accommodation for parents and siblings will be available on 20 Aug 24.
Parental and Sibling involvement on Fri evening and to take part in the activities on Sat is an important part of the programme and would love you to come along to experience the achievements of your child but also get a chance to socialise with other parents. Please note that at least one parent must attend overnight on Fri (if your child is staying overnight) and the programme on Sat.
The cost per child is £85 per day including accommodation (this cost will be the same if no accommodation is required). Siblings and family members will be charged £50 each to cover attendance on Sat (food and activities). Food and accommodation for Fri night is included free of charge.
If you wish to attend please complete the form below ideally no later than 30 May 24. We will then confirm your place and request you pay for the place no later than 1 Jul 24.
