Does my child need to bring pocket money with them?

All of our May half-term holiday camps are all-inclusive, covering activities and equipment for the duration of their stay. However, our Shropshire centre does have a retail shop and vending machines where children can buy sweets and souvenirs, so around £5 per day is usually plenty. We also operate a secure system for holding and issuing pocket money, so you can rest assured it’s managed safely and in line with your instructions.
