Year 6 Camp 20

17. 1. This Camp will be a new experience for many of you. It is
not a holiday camp, so the main rule that we have at School
applies at Camp too. That is, behave sensibly and show
consideration for others.
2. Think safety at all times. Accidents usually happen when
people are careless.
3. Never go off anywhere by yourself. Check in with your
leader for all activities, meal times, and duties. Remember
which areas are out of bounds.
Year 6 Camp 20

18. 4. Remember the outdoor code. No live trees must be cut or
damaged and avoid disturbing any animal life. Do not collect
unnecessarily. Treat the camp as you would your home.
Remember we have to pay for any damage.
If children cause damage as a result of disobeying
rules, families will be given the bill.
