Driving to Camp

When turning right into Forest Lakes Road, please pull to the left and wait until it is clear to cross the road. See more on our Location page. Camp Activities As an organisation that provides challenging experiences for children, we are very aware of our obligations to ensure utmost safety on all our activities and equipment. We know that as an organiser of your camp, you will be required to meet certain Safety Practice Codes and present these to your Board of Trustees. To assist you in meeting these obligations, a Risk Analysis Management System for each activity and codes of practice for selected activities are available on our Teachers / Organisers resources page. |
