Anyone caught in the wrong dorms or toilet and shower units will be suspended from camp and need to be picked up by a parent without other warning. This will be reiterated during the initial camp orientation once we arrive on site and in your registration email
Can I bunk with my mates?
We will do our best to accommodate friendship groups in the dorms but due to the amount of beds in each room and what rooms we will be assigned by the campsite, etc, we cannot make any promises!

No one will be leaving the camp site at any time during the event. If anyone leaves site they will be suspended from camp and need to be picked up by a parent without other warning. This will be reiterated during the initial camp orientation once we arrive on site and in your registration email.
Our volunteer team will remain on site at all times (i.e. no runs to Maccas on behalf of your dorm room - sorry not sorry).
Do I need to bring money?
As all food and activities are included and we are not leaving site, please do not bring money to camp.
All personal items remain the responsibility of the camper.
Can I make my own travel arrangements to camp?
Due to the logistics of arrival times and transport hire, all campers will travel via our chartered buses to camp.
