FAMILY MULTI ACTIVITY BREAKS FOR 2010
Family multi activity breaks are a popular alternative family holiday here in Okehampton. We offer programmes that last from two to five days during the school holidays. These are designed to allow you to try new sports together as a family. With a few exceptions most of our activities are suitable for adults and children over 5, although younger children are welcome at the hostel. Payment is required for food and accommodation for 3-5 years, but there would be no charge for any activities that the under 5’s are able to do where the family is participating in an activity break.
Note that some activities are not suitable at some times of the year, so check each programme to establish which activities are running during each holiday period.
What’s included in the package price?
The holidays start by checking in at the youth hostel between 5pm and 10 pm when you will be given your detailed itinerary for your activity holiday. Your holiday itinerary starts the following morning with breakfast between 7am and 8.30am. After breakfast you begin your activities, most activities start at 9.30am although some may differ slightly. Activities then continue morning, afternoon and evening until your last day when you will finish after the morning activity and leave after your buffet lunch.
Accommodation: at the Youth Hostel in family bunk room or sole use bunk room.
Catering: Buffet style hot and cold breakfast, buffet style lunch (on site) or packed lunch (for off site activities). 3 course evening meal (2nd night onwards). Free tea and coffee as required. An evening meal is not included on the night of arrival to allow flexible arrival times, however a meal can be booked as an extra if you are arriving late afternoon and require it. The Youth Hostel has a full alcohol license to allow drinks with a meal or in the evening.
Activities: you choose out of the options which activities each member of the family wants to do prior to your visit. Instructors and equipment are all included in your break along with transport to the activity venues. Some options may have limited places on your day of choice, so early booking is recommended for bank holidays in particular.
Free YHA family membership for new members (joining for the first time).
Value Added Tax.
CAMPING
For extra savings why not stay on our campsite, deduct £5 for under 18s and £8.50 for adults per night off the package price, your holiday still includes meals in the restaurant, access to the Youth Hostel facilities and your activity programme. You will need to bring your own tent and sleeping bags.
