  10. Clothing required • Whatever the weather, a lot of time will be spent outdoors so • warm, old clothing is essential. Layers are good just in case the • sun shines! • Please label everything so that we are able to reunite the children • with any lost items • New clothes are not required for their time away as their clothes will • get wet and dirty whilst having lots of fun carrying out the • various activities • Lagganlia provides waterproof clothing, however, it does not • provide warm outerwear • There is also a drying room for pupils to hang up their wet clothing • Pupils should have a clean change of clothes for the evening • A suitable party outfit can be brought if they wish as there will be • a disco on the Thursday evening.

  12. Valuables/Spending Money • Electronic games, MP3 players, mobile phones, ipads or other • items of value should not be brought to Lagganlia. • Cameras are permitted, but should be marked with your child’s • name. • Cameras can be given to school staff when not being used to keep • them safe. • There is a shop at Lagganlia where the pupils may wish to buy • something to remember their stay at Lagganlia. • Pupils will be responsible for their own moneyand should bring no • more than £10 pocket money. • It would be very helpful if their £10 could be in change as • opposed to large notes and if it could be stored within a • wallet/purse within their luggage to keep it as safe as possible.

  13. Medicines/Needs • Medicines will be administered by school staff • Children should not keep medicine themselves – all handed in week before (if possible) or on morning of departure • Medication that is needed throughout the day will be with the member of staff allocated to the child’s group • Details of medication needed in a group will be included in a pack given to the staff member • Each pack will be individual to that activity group.

  14. Keeping in Touch • If there is a situation where you need to get in touch with your child please contact Lagganlia who will pass on the message to our staff • If we need to get in touch with you we will do this using the emergency contact given or via the school office • We will update our Twitter feed as often as possible, to keep you up to date with what is going on at camp! We will also send out a few parent mails over the course of the week to keep you updated
