Camp notes
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The junior group will take place Monday - Wednesday as half days and Thursday - Friday as full days.
If your child is unavailable for the full week they can still take part but may not be in sections of the "performance" where they've missed learning. Due to saving the students place, the price cannot be reduced.
Drop an email to info@yrad.co.uk with the dates / times your child won't be with us.
Whilst unlikely - If there are insufficient numbers, the Summer School may be cancelled and you will be given a full refund.
Students will be required to bring food and drink for the days, and sunscreen / hats should it be warm enough to have some outdoor break times.
Due to allergies please do not bring nuts into the premises.
Due to needing to order T-Shirts in advance of the Summer School, if you book in after the 24th July you may be subject to paying a little extra and we won't be able to guarantee the arrival of the T-Shirt on time.
