What to Bring (Taken from the Stubbington website)
At Stubbington we love working outside so if you come to us for a week then be prepared to spend lots of your time outdoors. You need to make sure you bring the right clothing so you keep warm and dry particularly if it rains (activities will still go ahead even in the rain!).
Here are the things to remember to bring:
- stout walking shoes / boots / trainers (at least 2 pairs in case one pair gets wet)
- wellingtons
- extra socks and underclothing for a week
- anorak or warm coat – these need to be waterproof and have a hood
- at least one pair of long trousers
- gloves, hat, extra sweaters etc in colder times of the year
- sun hats and sun-cream in warmer times of the year
- water bottle
- pyjamas / night-dress and slippers
- soap/shower-gel, shampoo, flannel, toothbrush and toothpaste in a wash-bag (NO aerosols)
- shower cap (for long hair)
- two distinctive towels
- games clothing
- £10 spending money for the tuck shop (ideally in change)
If you want to bring binoculars, cameras and torches you can but make sure they have your name on them. Remember you will be responsible for looking after them.
Don't bring any valuables such as mobile phones, jewellery, music players or electronic games in case they get lost or broken.
A great idea is to write a packing list so that when packing to go home at the end of the nothing is forgotten.
Please do not bring anything that may contain nuts as Stubbington is a nut free site. Also children get fed very well so there is no need to bring lots of sweets and snacks.
