9 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.

10 Should you have any other questions or concerns, please Melissa Bull or Melissa Brown.
