Kit List 

During the activities, Brenscombe provides all the required safety equipment. 

All clothing should be labelled with the child’s name and participants are responsible for their personal belongings. 

We strongly suggest that people do not bring jewellery or new/expensive clothes as the nature of the activities can get clothes wet, muddy or worn. 

During water sports activities you will have to wear securely-fitting closed-toe footwear that will get wet and muddy (old trainers or water shoes).

Things to think about when packing your bag: 

• How many days are you at the Centre?  
• Are you doing any water sports? 
• What do you want to wear during the evening or when not on activity sessions? 
• What will you wear to sleep in or if you need to get up and walk to the toilet in the night? 
• What are you going to keep wet and dirty clothes in after activity sessions? 
• What’s the weather likely to be like? 

What to pack:

• Waterproof Jacket
• Shoes (At least two pairs of shoes are needed) 
  • Walking boots/outdoor shoes 
  • Closed toe shoes like old trainers for water activities (Crocs and flip flops are not suitable for this) 
  • Flip–flops/crocs/sliders for walk to shower 
• Reusable water bottle and lunch box/bag 
• Rucksack (2 straps, comfortable, big enough to fit packed lunch and spare clothes) 
• Torch 
• Sun cream and sun hat 
• Hat and Gloves 
• Insect repellent 
• Towel (x2) and toiletries 
• Underwear and lots of socks 
• Indoor /evening shoes 
• Clothes  
  • Pyjamas 
  • Casual clothes to wear in the evening (covered shoulders and longer bottoms are best to avoid ticks/bites) 
  • Clothes to wear on activities – t-shirts, warm jumpers, long trousers (not denim for activities) and good length shorts 
  • Warm layers are important, temperatures can vary.

Please ensure that Kayleigh is aware of any personal medication you may need prior to coming to Brenscombe. Children are not allowed to keep any medication in their bags (e.g. paracetamol).
