Dd, year 5, has the opportunity to go on a residential trip for 3 days (2 nights). It's very close by and includes lots of activities. It's one of those residential holiday camps. The cost is £225. Just wondering if this is the same kind of ball park figure as other mums are paying. It seems quite pricey to me for 3 days and the holiday camp itself seems to offer the same kind of holiday for under 100£.
Also dh doesn't like the fact that the letter says it's a voluntary contribution. Day trips - fair enough. But school holidays away? Is this usual. Neither of us are working at the moment but will save up. But the thought that others might not pay is a little frustrating. Is this usual procedure?
I am very keen for dd to go as she would have a great time, I'm sure. Just curious about the price.
Any experiences appreciated.
