Camp Notice # 1

Room 6 @ CAMP KAITAWA 2015

Notice #1

UPDATE – 24^th June

Dear Parent/Caregivers

I have had a few queries about camp recently plus I need to collect a bit of information from parents to help with my planning so here is the official update.

Room 6 will be visiting Camp Kaitawa near Lake Waikaremoana in November.  It is a fantastic area for an outdoor education experience as it provides a range of activities to suit all abilities and it will be a wonderful venue to celebrate a year’s learning.

·         Dates booked are 17^{th -} 20^th November (3 nights, 4 days). 

·         The camp is approximately 185km from Haumoana.

·         Transport will be by minivan and/or private vehicle depending on parent numbers and support.

·         Activities may include:  kayaking, swimming, caving, confidence course, cooking and team challenges and bush walks.

·         Pupil Contribution - preliminary estimate $190 per child.  This does not include any fundraising.  Automatic payments can now be arranged with the office to ensure full payment before camp.

·         Early feedback from parents has shown a lot of interest in attending therefore a ballot may be required.

·         Any parent wanting to be involved in menu/food organisation, please contact me.

Fundraising

·         Fundraising activities started last weekend and there will be more events planned for the next term.

·         Funds raised from these weekend activities will be allocated proportionally to reduce the costs of those students/parents directly involved.

·         If you have any ideas for fundraising please contact me at school.

Please complete this brief survey and return this form to me by 30^th June.

(This survey is to indicate expressions of interest only and is to assist me with planning)

Thanks for your support
