Year 6 Camp 2010

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.

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. Wear soft shoes inside buildings.

Year 6 Camp 2010

5 Be willing to join in and try new experiences and use your five senses. The more you try the more you will learn. Set yourself a new challenge every day.

6. Consideration for others :

- in your cabin.- at meal times- at quiet times- in group activities- in games- in personal cleanliness.

Year 6 Camp 2010
