Pre-Camp

How many children are in each group?

We strive for the following coach:child ratios

• 1:8 for children aged 5-7
• 1:12 for children aged 8-10
• 1:15 for children aged 11+

Will my child be grouped with friends?

We do our best to accommodate friend requests made prior to arriving on camp, making every effort to group friends together. However, there are rare occasions where camp numbers, child safety and ratios mean that this is not possible. Many children attending our camps do not know one another and will be encouraged to make new friends.

Are there any pre camp arrival forms to complete?

We cannot accept any children on camp who does not have a completed safety form. The safety form is completed during the booking process, on Enrolmy.
