What to take to Culmington Manor...
Luggage
Please restrict this to one case plus one piece of hand luggage. Metal framed rucksacks should be avoided as they are difficult to fit into the coach.
Spending Money
This is not essential but children may wish to have some money to spend on sweets or drinks from the vending machine on site. We would suggest no kore than £5 (small change only)
Clothing
Please ensure that all clothes, shoes and bags are named so that if they do get lost, we can forward them to the owner. Please make sure they have old clothing to wear in some of the activities. The children will require long sleeve tops and long trousers for a number of the activities even in the summer months. If they do not have these they will not be allowed to take part in certain activities. On an activity day the children will require a number of outfits. Clothing that dries quickly would be helpful.
Woollen or fleece fabrics are more suitable for the water sports activities as when they get wet they hold in warmth far better than cotton/denim fabrics.
Accommodation
