What is expected from parents?

Upon booking all parents are asked to complete an ‘About Me’ profile on their child so that we can tailor the coaching children will receive on the camp to maximise participation and enjoyment. The Parents Information Pack which included the ‘About Me’ Profile can be found here.
Our inclusion camp will have enough coaches and assistants present that parents do not need to stay for the duration of the camp. However, if you feel you would like to stay to support your child, you are more than welcome once you inform the Camp Manager.
