Year 6 Camp 2010

13. 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

your five senses. The more you try the more you will learn.
