FAQ's
What if I want to cancel my booking?
As we have a limit of the number of children we can accept, once booked in there will be no refund for change of mind or illness within 7 days of the program. If there is less then 7 days notice, and you are unable to attend due to illness, we are more than happy to credit your booking with the presentation of a medical certificate to another workshop at another time.
How many children per class?
The children will be split into 2 groups. Each class will contain approximately 10-15 children per teacher. The children are grouped according to their age and with friends. Sometimes classes can grow to 20 children; in this incidence a second teacher will be present. There is also an additional supervisor who oversees the whole workshop and helps out were necessary.
Can my child be grouped with their friends?
Yes of course, as long as their friends are in the same age group. We want your child to have the best time possible therefore we need to group your child based on their maturity. Please ensure you list the names of the friends that your child would like to be grouped with.
What if my child does not know anyone?
Do not worry; this is a perfect opportunity for your child to make new friends. The program consists of numerous team building activities, especially on the first morning which encourage the children to mix with others.
Does my child have to attend the whole program?
We strongly encourage your child to attend the whole program. Each day the children are put into groups for various activities and some activities carry on over to the following day. The children also build friendships and may be put out if someone doesn’t attend the whole program. Part attendance will need to be confirmed at the discretion of the office.
How is the day structured?
We begin each day with fun warm up activities, and then like a school day the children are put into groups and off to classes stopping for recess and lunch. The classes over the two days will consist of: Dancing, singing, acting, craft, science and cooking.
What does my child have to bring?
- Recess and lunch. No allergy foods such as nuts or foods with nut traces.
- Hat and sunscreen.
- Clothes suitable for active classes.
- Closed shoes suitable for running and dancing, e.g. sandshoes. (please no thongs, sandals or dress shoes).
