Session notes

If your plans change or you have time to fill, try one of these short games

Remind parents and carers that the following session will involve outdoor exploration - so young people should have the appropriate clothing and equipment. You may want to meet where you plan to start your exploration, to give your section more time. Make sure to inform parents and carers of any changes to drop-of and pick-up times or locations in advance.
