Questions
About Cubs
My child has never been away from me. Is Cubs right?
Most Cubs are first time campers. Our lead counsellor phones you at 10am on day one, and you can visit at pick up any day.
Do Cubs swim in deep water?
No. Cubs use our shallow splash pool only, with a lifeguard watching and a counsellor in the water.
What about toilet accidents?
They happen. Pack a spare set of clothes, and a counsellor of the same sex will help discreetly.
