Whilst there are a large number of Williamstown Year 5 and 6 students attending
Camp Howqua, your child will be closely supported, mentored and supervised
throughout the week.
Each cabin group will have an adult responsible for checking in with them morning
and night, ensuring rooms are kept clean and students are settled during the evening.
All activity groups will have at least one adult supervising them during the week and
groups will not exceed 13 children.
Students will all come together at the same time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This
is a great opportunity to share stories, celebrate successes and touch base with each
other.
Melissa Bull and Sarah Nobbs will be the First Aid trained teachers in charge.
If any medical condition concerning your child should arise, you will be notified
promptly.
Should you have any other questions or concerns, please
email Melissa Bull or Melissa Brown.
