Dear Parents and Caregivers

As part of our Outdoor Education Programme at Balmacewen Intermediate, the year 7 classes will be taking
part in a two night camp at Waihola.

The aim of our camp is not only to provide opportunities for enjoyment, adventure and challenge in the
outdoors, but also to develop class spirit, co-operation and respect and to provide opportunities for students
and teachers to get to know each other outside the classroom. Our class will be heading to camp on Monday
the 28th of February and will be returning on Wednesday the 2nd of March along with Room 26. We will be
leaving school on the Monday at approximately 9:30am, students need to be at school at 8:50am at the latest.

Our first day at camp, once setup includes yachting and raft building at Lake Waihola. Day 2 revolves around
team building challenges and activities, and Day 3 involves a six hour tramp along the Millennium track; on
completion we return directly back to school. We aim to be back at Balmacewen no later than 3:30pm.

This camp will only go ahead with the support of camp helpers. If you can help out for the whole camp or
even for part of the time your help and support is greatly appreciated. Please fill in the form below if you can
assist. In order for us to keep costs down and to make it easier to transport students to the Millennium track
and back we are relying on parent transport, as well as using the school van, to get students to and from camp.
Also indicate on the slip below if you can help out in this area and the number of students you can transport.

Cost – Payment is set at $65.00. This is to cover the cost of using the camp facilities, food, resources and
yacht hire. This can be paid directly to the office or to your classroom teacher.
We know it has been an expensive start to the year, please speak to the office if you have concerns regarding
payment options.

Regards

Luke Herden
