All lost property is laid out on a table in the dining hall.  This way, caps, water bottles, jumpers etc that accumulate during the day can be accessed easily by children missing property.  On a daily basis children are reminded to check for missing belonging.  Items are easily identified if they are marked with a name, but Excel recognises this isn’t always practical.  At the end of each week, in the closing speech, the camp manager will draw parents and guardian’s attention to the pile of lost property.  Lost property will stay at camp until the end of the holidays, after which all items will go into storage for one week to give everyone an opportunity to claim things before being donated to a local charity shop.
