☀️ Sun Safety at Holiday Camps ☀️

As the weather warms up, we want to help keep children safe while enjoying outdoor activities at our holiday camps. 🌞

The sun is strongest between 11am and 3pm, so children will be encouraged to take regular breaks in the shade.

Parents and carers can help by making sure children:

👕 Wear suitable clothing, including t-shirts and hats
🕶️ Bring and wear sunglasses where appropriate
🧴 Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen before attending
☀️ Bring sunscreen for regular reapplication throughout the day
💧 Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated

Don’t forget…
🧢 Slip, ☀️ Slap, 🧴 Slop!
