Brewongle staffing
For groups over 30 students, a Brewongle teacher and will be on site until 9pm to assist visiting teachers in running evening activities. This evening teacher is an optional extra, at cost, for groups less than 30 students. We will provide catering staff at mealtimes to prepare and cook food during the day and help serve in the evening.
Overnight supervision is the responsibility of visiting school teachers.
Camp activities
We may tell stories and cook damper twists on the campfire - weather permitting, watch a wildlife presentation from a local wildlife company - optional extra, spotlight for nocturnal wildlife in the bush, or perhaps watch a movie in our beautiful indoor learning area.
All camping programs can be individually tailored to your current unit of study and any day program can be run on a camp. Optional activities such as nature play, Traditional Indigenous Games (TIGs), solar cars, bottle rocket racers, dipnetting, the old classroom and many more can be included. Most camp programs include kayaking on the beautiful Hawkesbury River.
Camp logistics
The Camp Package document will outline all the logistics of camp, including what to bring to camp, accomodation, menus and other facilities, emergency procedures, guidelines and risk assessments. A copy of this document will be sent to the school upon booking.
Students and staff will need to bring their own recess and lunch on the first day of camp.
Brewongle EEC is able to offer low cost camp options as we are a Department of Education Facility. If booked, our evening teacher will help visiting teachers to coordinate students to help serve, eat and clean up after meals. It is expected that visiting teachers and students will assist at all meal times in the process of serving and cleaning up. This allows us to provide such cost efficient camps.
