Information for Participants

The Peak Pursuits Summer Activity Programme runs weekly from 28^th July – 21^st August 2008. A fantastic full day lasts from 8am-5pm.   It is a great way for young people aged 10 to 13 and 14 to 16 to meet new friends and enjoy a fun week of amazing activities.

What kind of thing will I be doing during the day?

Your week will be packed full with some outdoor activities and indoor activities.  The Outdoor activities will be in the picturesque Peak District, the indoor activities will be at Peak Pursuits HQ in Audley.

Who will be responsible for me during the week?

Our Peak Pursuits Team Leaders will be looking after and running your day for you, by the end of the week your Team Leaders will just be another friend you’ve made.  You can call them by their name, we’re not a school so no Sir and Miss please.  They’ll be there to help and guide you through the week and they also hold a range of qualifications to run your activities.

What will the day be like?

You will arrive at Peak Pursuits HQ between 8:00am and 9:00am where you will sign in with a Peak Pursuits Team Leader, we will then you can then introduce yourself to the other young people or a Team Leader can do that for you.  We will have a couple games consoles for you to play on until everyone has arrived and it is time to leave for the day’s activity.  During this time you can have some toast and jam and a drink of juice.  After the day’s activity we will then return back to Peak Pursuits HQ for 4:00pm for you to sign out and be collected.  If you want to go home on your own or with friends your parent or guardian will have to give us permission to let you go, by signing the box on the consent form.

What will I need to bring with me?

You will need to bring with you lunch, snacks and drink for the day, we will provide some toast and juice for you at the beginning of the day.

You will need to bring with you suitable clothing for the day’s activity.  We advise you wear older clothes which you don’t mind getting dirty.  It is best not to wear jeans for the outdoor activities as they hold mud and water and can become uncomfortable.  You will need to bring with you a change of clothes and footwear for the outdoor activity days.  For the indoor days where you may be doing art bring a top you won’t mind getting paint on, or one of dads old shirts.  We will provide overalls for the graffiti art.

We will provide all specialist equipment for activities, like bikes and helmets and climbing and canoeing gear.

Is there anything I don’t need to bring with me?

Do not bring anything you don’t want to get dirty, broken or lost.  Items such as watches, jewellery, personal stereos, hand held computer games and mobile phones should be left at home. Do not wear expensive clothes or clothes you do not want to get lost or ruined.  Peak Pursuits cannot accept responsibility for damage or to the loss of any personal property.

Can I go with Friends?

Yes you can bring your friends, they will need to book in the same way you will and you must make sure there is space for you all in the week or weeks you want to attend.  But don’t worry about not knowing anybody you’ll make new friends during the week, the Team Leaders will help you to meet everyone.

Who else will be on a Peak Pursuits Activity Week?

There will be other young people boys and girls just like you looking for some fun and adventure in the school holidays.  There will be two group one for  the 10 to 13 year olds and another for the 14 to 16 year olds.

Will I need any pocket money during the day?

There won’t be any time to stop and buy lunch, which is why we ask you to bring your own, but at some of the locations we visit there may be an opportunity to but an ice cream, drink or some sweets (for your Team Leaders!).

What if I have a problem during the week?

We hope you don’t have a problem but if you do don’t worry just talk to you Team Leader and they will do everything to help you out.  If this doesn’t help you can talk to one of your Senior Team Leaders.
