| Calshot Activities Centre | Excellent facilities and the children had a great time! We were surprised to be sharing our accomodation block, and I feel that this could have been communicated better prior to our arrival. We also had lots of different instructors, where on previous residentials we have had one main instructor per group. Several of our children with SEND found this change of staff challenging. However, we had an incredible week, and the staff were really skilled at working with children, and challenged them all to do their best. | 11 October 2021 | |
