Enrichment Day
Enrichment Day
At the request of some lovely local families, we are trying out some enrichment days for young people who are home educated or in an alternative provision.
These are drop and go - so sign your young person in and head off for a break!
These timings are designed to align with a typical 'school length' day, and are almost identical to the days that lots of local schools come to us for. These days are designed for confidence/resilience building, socialisation, and just pure outdoor adventure and FUN!
Please make sure your young person is dressed appropriately for their day, and that they have any medication - epi pen, inhaler - and a water bottle with them. They must be able to remove earrings in order to participate in activities. For all activities they must have secure, closed toe shoes with a sole that would protect their foot if they were to step on anything sharp - old trainers are best. No wellies, no flip flips, no crocs. We also do not recommend jeans as these are not comfortable and can chafe. All participants must be clothed between their knees to their elbows - this means they cannot wear micro shorts/biker shorts, crop tops, bikinis etc. No mobile phones or devices are permitted, so please ensure you have your young persons mobile phone (if they have one) before you drop them off - alternatively any mobile phones that are seen to be used will be confiscated and placed in the office for adults to sign out when signing out their young person.
Please make sure that you have packed your young person a healthy and NUT FREE packed lunch. We do have a small tuck shop on site so if you'd like them to have a few pounds to buy a fizzy drink/sweets then this is up to you.
Longridge is a closed site and so we cannot allow parents/younger siblings/those who are not booked onto an activity past the fence. There are no walks here and no public parking.
Please be aware that these sessions are not appropriate for all of those with additional needs. We run sessions specifically for those with additional needs, so if your young person has additional needs please get in touch with us directly to make sure you book the session that is right for your young persons needs.
If a full day is too long, or not quite what you are looking for, we also have drop in single sessions! Have a look here.
