The Eildon caravan park is further equipped with shower facilities and much more. Students will be rafting to the Breeze Caravan Park, bushwalking to the Jerusalem Creek Campsite and canoeing, completing group initiatives from the Eildon Caravan Park. Students will be required to pack up their tents and camping equipment at the conclusion of the stay.
Coaches will provide travel to and from the camp, and additional cars will be present, driven by teachers, for transportation in the case of extentuating circumstances and only with full permission of parents/guardians.
