FACEBOOK

We have just started up a camp Facebook page. At this stage it's mostly about some of the new building works at camp but we'll be putting some energy into this in the coming months and you'll start to see a lot of exciting new developments as we explore how best to use social media whilst ensuring we make sure we meet our child safe obligation.

SEWERAGE TREATMENT PLANT

The sewerage treatment plant is under demolition!

A huge thankyou to Greg from ECOLIQUIDWASTE for going above and beyond. Cleaning the old sewer treatment plant and helping arrange the removal. The exrta effort is much appreciated.

FLYING FOX

Our dual flying fox has had a much needed roof added to the platform - sun and rain protection for staff and participants from here on in.

PARADE GROUND HEATING

The Parade Ground dorms have had the old 'blanket' rooms removed, to make way for heating to be put in - a warm welcome to schools coming in those winter months.

BAYSIDE UNITS

The Bayside Units have had acrylic louvers installed.

BOONERWRUNG WING

Western Wing dorms have all had a facelift, with a nice bright coat of white paint, it really brings the rooms into the modern times, giving them a welcoming vibe.
