We do not have a uniform. The kids are free to dress as they like. However, they should be encouraged to make smart choices in relation to the weather and that week’s activity. Good shoes are a must!

Every kid should have a backpack with a full water bottle, a couple of snacks and a hat if it is a hot and sunny day. We also suggest that they apply sunscreen and/or insect repellent before arriving and keep extra in their packs.

We will confirm your child’s place in the camp via email and send out details of location and what to bring in the week leading up to the camp.  At the end of each Camp, a video of our adventures will be shared via Whatsapp.

Red & Black Rain/No.8 Typhoon Signal

Programmes are automatically cancelled during Red and Black rain warnings or the hoisting of the No.8 Typhoon Signal. If programmes are in progress while a severe weather warning is hoisted, Backyard Roots staff will end the session, contact the Parents/Guardians and ensure the students are in the care of their parent or guardian.

Programmes scheduled to run while Red or Black rain storm warnings are hoisted will be automatically cancelled. Unfortunately no refunds or credit will be offered in this situation.

Where possible, scheduled programmes will resume after the lowering of weather warnings.

If signal is lowered at or after 4pm, all remaining programmes will be cancelled for that day.

Amber Rain Storm warning

Where possible, scheduled programmes will continue in Amber rain if it is safe to do so – updates will be sent via WhatsApp groups.

Assume we are ON, unless you hear otherwise.

If your child cannot make it, please let us know. We always wait for the whole Gang to arrive before we set off!

Payment can be made via Bank Transfer (HSBC), PAYME (HSBC) App or Cheque. We ask that full payment is made 2 weeks prior to the start of the camp. Places will only be secured once we have received your application form AND proof of payment.

Refunds, credit letters or make up sessions will NOT be given for non-attendance of programmes/event for any reason. Refunds and/or credit letters will be issued if a doctors note is provided to prove the student is unable to attend due to injury or prolonged illness. All other refunds will be at the discretion of Backyard Roots Ltd management and based on individual circumstances.

With appreciation of the dangers and risks associated with programs and activities on my own behalf and/or on behalf of my child, I hereby fully and completely release and waive any and all claims for personal injury, death, or loss that may arise against Backyard Roots Limited, the activity coordinators, and all employees, volunteers, related parties, or other organisations associated with any program or activity. I fully understand that participants will participate at their own risk. By enrolling my child/ren, myself or my family members in any programme or event, I accept all the conditions relating to the course.
