This year the Indigenous Tours family camp will take place at Walyunga National Park. The camp will be ran by a team of people including Noel, Greg, Beccy and Jason. There are opportunities for guided walks, stories, language, art and artefact making. It really is a wonderful weekend and a great opportunity to share as a family.

Costs:

There is a fee for the camping site of $11 per adult ($7 with a concession card) and $3 per child (plus online payment fees). We will arrange payment as a group so please book as many places as you need. You can do this by booking the family ticket $220 / $180 per family and then booking camp fees through the 'add ons'. (Please do contact me on 0406 722066 if this is a concern, we wish for the camp to be accessible to as many families as possible, particularly families with Aboriginal children and young people).

There is also a chance to 'Pay it Forward' if you would like to contribute to families who may not be in a position to pay.

Logistics

The camp is likely to be very popular, if you have attended multiple family camps before we ask you enable other families to join this time. The site is smaller than previous camps and we will be sharing sites. Please be mindful of this when thinking of what to bring. There is a toilet and we'll have a kitchen available (gas stoves and some basic pots and pans) and will provide teas and (plunger) coffee. For your lunches and breakfast we ask you consider meals that require minimum cooking as there is no BBQ on site.

Rough Schedule:

We are inviting people to arrive around lunch time (lunch will be self catered).

We'll have a welcoming activity around 2pm, various activities in the afternoon and a shared meal of roo stew in the evening. There will be a chance for stories around the campfire for those still awake and some activities for those interested.

After breakfast (self catered) we'll have some more activities and stories and people can leave whenever they wish after lunch (self catered).

Parental/Guardian Responsibility

Please be aware that children will be the responsibility of parents/guardians at all times. The camp is designed as an intergenerational learning and cultural experience, rather than a child minding program. This is also a drug and alcohol free experience and we would appreciate those who smoke being as discreet as possible.
