2024 Year 6 School Camp Packing List
- The camp is located at Woodman Point, Munster. Children will be sleeping in gender-based dorms of 4-6 students with adult supervision in each block of dormitories.
- There are to be absolutely no student mobile phones or iPads on camp. They will be confiscated, and parents will be asked to come and collect the phone and their child. They are prohibited due to security reasons and social media access. If you need to contact your child in case of an emergency ONLY, please refer to the handout that was provided.
- Cameras are permitted; however, they need to be named or even engraved. iPads or phones cannot be used as cameras. Hair straighteners, hair dryers, or other electrical appliances are not permitted due to health and safety reasons.
- The camp has strict rules and a Code of Conduct that must be followed at all times. If your child breaks these rules, you will be contacted and asked to come and collect the student immediately. A camp staff member will go through these with our students on arrival at camp.
- What to bring (refer to the packing list that has been handed out to your child previously or is available on the FCPS website—everything mentioned on the list is required.
*** Please keep it in a small bag/case as much as possible as there isn’t much space on the bus. One bag only, they can take their pillow. They may take a day pack as well for the bus, which carries their recess and lunch, water bottle and hat.
