Hi all,

Our year 7 camp is in week two, 2012 .

We will take parents on a first in basis as numbers are limited.

Please also fill out the parental consent forms and health profile.

Camp Columba is a great setup with all activities on site. The bunk rooms have all been refurbished so it is a very warm camp and most activities are all weather ones.

Over the course of the week your child will take part in;

• Kayaking
• Rock wall climbing
• Abseiling
• High ropes course
• Flying fox
• Horizontal bungee
• Motorized wall climbing

• Archery

We are busing down there leaving at 9.30am on Monday 13^th and should be back by 4.00pm on Friday 17th. We are stopping at Gore for a swim and lunch on the way home. The kids will be selling some lollies over the holidays to try and keep the price down. We will let you know final costs when all accounts are confirmed.

We are holding a camp meeting for all parents on Tuesday the 8^th Feb 2012, at 6.00pm in the hall, where we will go over the camp organisation and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you
