Yes! Every child needs to bring a packed lunch with a refillable water bottle to camp. We are also a no nut camp, so please ensure your child’s lunch is nut free!

For those of you in a hurry, we have a Hot Lunch service available at our UCS venues only! 

In order to mitigate the risk of infection we will be implementing the following procedures during the camps:

• All sites will be professionally cleaned before camp starts.

• Providing hand sanitiser throughout the day (subject to availability), for use before and after activities.

• Mandatory hand washing before and after snack/lunch times.

• Enhanced cleaning regimes targeting high use areas with full disinfection of surfaces at the end of each day.

• All parents must complete a Health Declaration Form before attending camp to minimise the spread of COVID-19.

Any children exhibiting flu like symptoms will be carefully monitored with parents/guardians informed accordingly.

If your child is sick, please do not bring them to camp due to risk of infection.
