Activities, Academies, Excursions and Accommodation

Activities & Academies: 

If you signed up for an Academy, you must attend these sessions. 

During the Multi-Activity Programme and in the evenings, there will be lots of new sports, games and activities. Try to experience as many different things as possible! 

Prepare for Activities and Academies 

  • Wear appropriate clothing and footwear. For example – if it is raining, wear a waterproof jacket and shoes. 
  • Bring water with you even if you’re doing a non-sporting activity – it is good to stay hydrated!
