Hiding presents
While you might want to cover chocolates or candy or cards in your childs baggage you'll find this is likely to make them home sick. It could also make other youngsters feel home sick especially if their mom and pop haven't included something for them. Running an activity centre in Wales, we get to see these issues first hand all the time
Plastic bags
Youngsters like to get muddy. The key to sorting out all of the wet dirty clothing yours will bring home with them is providing masses of plastic bags for them to put filthy washing into. We find that heavyweight bin bags or rubble sacks work fine. When they arrive home just empty the bag straight into the washer!
Old duds
Youngsters are intensely good at breaking brand new things. They are often skilled in the art of losing dear things! We might suggest only sending them with the oldest attire that they have, and sending them with the acceptance that they will not come back untouched!
Packing
Getting your child to pack can be tough work, but worthwhile in the long run. They are far likelier to recollect what's theirs if they pack it themselves than if you do it for them. This implies that they can perhaps return home with the same stuff as they left with!
Pocketmoney
Giving your child a touch more cash than is advocated is extremely attracting as a responsible parent, but this can frequently lead straight to jealousies amongst other children who have a tiny bit less. Kids have a tendency to have the mind-set that they must spend whatever they are given, so expect no change and plenty of random presents! We had one child who was adamant that he would have liked to spend his last pound on a tooth brush as a present for his mummy!
Property
Expect that anything you send your child with will get damaged. We would suggest sending them with an inexpensive throwaway camera in opposition to a pricey digital slr. Resistant to water disposables are a good choice if any of the activities planned involve water, but they don't always take the best photographs. Most centers will collect property in for safe keeping, so it's worth inspiring your kid to milk this.
Cards/letters
As a responsible present we all know that sending your kid a card or letter to the center they're staying at is captivating, but it's probable to end up in them pondering home and becoming home-sick. As with the hid candy it can also lead straight to other children becoming home-sick. If you truly want to do that we might suggest giving the item to the teachers leading the trip.
