What it Ready Steady Go?

Ready Steady Go is a service programme, participants help get the Our Chalet site ready for our busy summer season. This includes deep cleaning outbuildings and the campsite after their winter closure and preparing the grounds.

Our Chalet’s team run evening programmes and one day programme for participants so there is plenty of time for fun as well as work! There is also a free day where participants can arrange their own activities.
