Year 6 Residential Visit - Bradley Wood Scout Camp25May2022

@ Bradley Wood Scout Camp

We have provisionally booked a 2-day visit to Bradley Wood Scout Camp, Brighouse in May 2022. (Wednesday, 25th May – Thursday 26th May) Bradley Wood is a Campsite & Activity Centre run and operated by West Yorkshire County Scouts. Set in the heart of West Yorkshire is this spectacular 56 acre woodland which is more than just a campsite. Whilst there, the children will take part in a fun packed itinerary which will include: Cave Bus, Low Ropes Course, Orienteering, Zip Line, Crate Stacking, Archery and Campfire activities. The children will spend the night in tents. This is a fantastic opportunity for the children, to experience new activities and learn new skills. More information can be found at: http://www.bradleywood.org.uk/about We are asking for a parental contribution of £30 per child for the visit (which is payable in instalments – please see details below). The actual cost of the trip is £65 per child, however, school will cover the remainder of the cost including travel costs. The price includes all accommodation and meals. Please can we ask that you return the slip below with a non-refundable deposit of £10 per child, no later than Friday, 25th March 2022.

In the afternoon, we will be celebrating The Queens Platinum Jubilee. Depending on the weather, children will be having a picnic lunch outside on the field. Children who are on school dinners will receive a picnic-styled lunch while children who are on packed lunches should bring in their own packed lunch as normal, plus something to sit upon (a blanket/coat etc). Children are welcome to bring in extra picnic food to share with their friends. Parents and Carers are invited to join us from 1.45pm for our Pentecost Dove release which will be happening at 2pm.
