Any medication handed in accompanies the group and is administered at the required times. Staff carry well equipped First Aid kits. In the event of serious illness or injury, the Bush Pigs staff will ensure that the child receives professional help and will liaise with the teachers to ensure that you as parents are informed as soon as possible. Parents will be responsible for the costs of any medical treatment. No anti – malaria precautions are necessary; please confirm with a medical practitioner.</p><p>Special Diets Children requiring vegetarian diets are easily catered for, as are those with specific dietary requirements e.g. no pork; no wheat. Muslim children can be provided with separately cooked Halaal meat, or a vegetarian option. Kosher children can be provided with fish or vegetarian options, or may bring some special food. Please make use of the Application Form to indicate type of diet required.</p><p>Tuck & T-Shirts At Bush Pigs we do not operate a Tuck Shop and we have a general policy of asking for all tuck to be handed in at the beginning of the camp and returning it before the children leave. This is not done as a punishment, but helps to maintain camp hygiene and prevent illness. Perishable items such as sandwiches and fruit are removed before the tuck is stored. There are no facilities for refrigerating these items and children should limit these to what is needed for the bus journey. Bush Pigs T-shirts and other mementos are on sale; please confirm prices on our website or with school.</p><p>Website, Telephonic Contact & Electronic Equipment Please visit our website www.bushpigsedu.co.za for more information. At Bush Pigs there are no public telephones and children are not allowed to make or receive phone calls. No electronic equipment such as cellular phones, Walkman sound systemsBUSH etc. will be allowed.
