Sending child to conkers im really not sure ??

[Mickeyfish]

My daughter has been invited to go to conkers with her beaver group for a day out and sleepover there. Its £60 for the trip and im really not sure whether to send her
1 I think its quite pricy for what it includes-coach journey both ways. Tickets food and sleepover
2 she has suspected adhd, is 7years (but is not inline with her age), possibly autism also and is pretty much away in the fairies / in her own world most of the time , she has no sense of danger, her eating is incredibly fussy and im worried how she will manage (they are sleeping indoors so that is a bonus at least)
3 its an hour away from us
And 4 which is my main concern she went out on a beavers day trip once(her very 1st one soon after she started ) and she managed to walk away from the group and wasn't in sight of the leaders for 10 minutes she was effectively missing
There will be 3 leaders to 7 children this time so she can have a 1-1 support and I do think there more fully aware of her needs now however it still sticks in my mind!

What would you do?

7:3? I'd definitely send her.

£60 is a great price for all that, if you can’t afford it that’s fine, but I’d say that’s not OTT at all. The ratio is very small which is good, so if she wants to go I’d let her. If she doesn’t then I’d not force her.

@TeaKitten is it i thought it was pricy ive just had a good look on the website and Facebook posts and it does look pretty good and full of exciting activities I won't lie in that respect.

There's still just such a big worry shes so young and so immature still both physically and mentally. weve asked her and as always had no response like she wants or doesn't want to go but that is normal she won't be excited about anything and will happily take of leave things like this

£60 for a Conker's trip? That's bonkers!

It sounds like very good value for money to be honest and with a ratio of 1:7 I would be very comfortable with her being properly supervised. If you think she would enjoy it then I would send her.

I wouldn’t. She’s little and wandered away previously.

Yes send her . My Ds has Asd/adhd . These events are great for development .

my Ds is immature these hep them become more immature.

£60 for one night away. I don't think so. When mine were at beavers the first sleep over was a night at the hut. Free. Then one or two nights at a local camp for a few pounds.

However - conkers is loads of fun!!

I think she's a bit little for overnight... if you think she will benefit from it then fine but personally I wouldn't

Wrong time of year for conkers, no?

You say that they are providing a 1:1 support after the problems on the day trip.

I would go for it - it sounds like they are trying really hard to provide for her needs and make sure she can go in the trip safely.

These kinds of trips really help a kid mature and grow.

Could you not accompany? They often ask for volunteers on this kind of trip.

I would send her if she wants to go and if you can afford it.

£60 for transport, food, activity and an overnight stay, are they powering the bus by pedal power to get it that cheap? Does she want to go, thats the most important bit.

My main issue based on the history is will she wander off and will they notice she wandered off quickly if it does happen? All the rest is just will she enjoy it and can you afford it?

My son just turned 7 last month and joined beavers last November, my daughter has adhd so I understand your struggle but for my son personally he's no issues we're concerned about so he was desperate to take part. He's so excited I can't say no to him, he has a small local one in July and conkers in October, any links to it? Never heard of it before new to all this. Will say though you think £60 is bad ours is £75 🤣 we must be further away so costs more for the coach or something 😅
