Ideas For a Better Camp

Please take the time to read the following and incorporate the suggestions into your programming.

Lights Out and Sleep: Especially the first night

Kids don't recognise fatigue in themselves and need plenty of persusion to go to sleep. Try making frequent dormitory checks dorms in the first half-hour after lights out and insist on absolute quiet. Students are more likely to fall asleep if they are kept quiet and still.

Domitory Competition:

Running a dormitory competition has the effect of maintaining good standards of hygiene and cleanliness, as well as developing personal pride and healthy habits, serving good discipline within the dormitories and reducing the workload involved in the camp cleanup.

Wet Weather Alternatives:

See attractions for ideas, bring appropriate wet weather clothing and be prepared you never know.

Pocket Money:

It is suggested that pocket money be kept to a small amount as the essential requirements of camp are already here.

Commitment and Safety:

By allowing the group (and other staff) to shoulder responsibility for the camp, and therefore responsibility for the camps success or failure, they will show more commitment. If you do all the objectives setting and prior preparation and planning, odds are you will be the most committed. Committed, aware people are generally safer, more responsive people!

Free Time In The Camp Program

It is a requirement of the Point Peron Camp School that student free time is supervised.

Commited, aware people are generally safer, more responsive people!
