A local club which had younger children from 5pm until 6pm and then older children from 6pm until 8pm, has decided to alternate on a weekly basis so that younger children go one week and older children the next - with no reduction in fees. So they go half the time but still have to pay the same. Apparently the extra money will be for a yearly activity that is optional but sometimes poorly attended, so if the children decide not to go/or can't go they will still have paid for it Hmm

A lot of parents are not keen on their 6 year old beavers camping a 90min drive away - some of them haven't even been on sleepovers without a member of their family

as far as I'm aware, beavers don't go on camp without a parent anyway due to their age and the need for high ratio of adults to beavers.

I think you're being unreasonable - it's cheap for what it is, and it's run by volunteers who are doing the best they can in difficult circumstances.

it is quite a lot less than £2.50 or £5 per session, the op said price was per term, last term was 15 weeks.

Loshad it is £2.50 per week, they don't go every week of term.

degutastic - beavers did camp without their parents. They are only allowed to go for 24 hours though, cubs and scouts go for 2 days.
