Monday and Friday are the big hike days and are less structured then the other days, this gives the children more time to play and explore their surroundings. Snack on hiking days are freshly made homemade muffins followed by cheese and dried fruit and nuts.

On Tuesday bread rolls are made fresh that morning , Wednesday rice is cooked that morning and Thursday soup is cooked that morning and served warm at snack time.
