FAQs
Let us put your mind at rest. Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.
This will probably be possible. You will be asked on your booking form if your child would like to share a cabin with anyone in particular. In all cases we will try to accommodate these important requests but ultimately we can't guarantee we'll be able to.
Bookings need to be made online and are not complete until valid deposit payment has been received by the Centre. Do call the office if you have any questions.
All of our staff have up-to-date First Aid qualifications and are competent at dealing with minor emergencies. If it is deemed necessary to seek further help then a child can be taken to either Southbourne Surgery or St Richard's Hospital in Chichester.
To help all young people get the most out of their time at CYE, we ask that mobile phones are not brought with them. If a phone is brought, it will be collected on arrival and stored securely in the office for the duration of the stay. This helps everyone switch off from digital distractions, enjoy face-to-face friendships, and fully take part in all that's on offer at CYE. You can call the office/out of hours phone if you need to contact your child during their time with us. In the unlikely event of an emergency, we will contact you directly.
Unless it's really urgent, we encourage them not to. Very few children miss their families to the extent that they need to talk with them while they're with us. However we would, of course, facilitate this in a situation where it was necessary.
There's no need to go out and spend lots of money buying new equipment and clothing. We have a full kit list of what you need to bring here. We provide specific things such as wetsuits, buoyancy aids, and waterproofs. Please do call us if you have any questions about kit.
