Leaders are asked to stay overnight to help with the big close down and clean up of the property at the end of the summer. As with Camp 1, leaders will have a social dinner and debrief once the campers have departed. Those leaders who need to leave on the same day as campers can negotiate in advance to leave about 5pm.

Food Safety Handling Training

We require all leaders to complete a free online food handling course prior to attending Leader Training Weekend. This will take approximately one hour of your time to complete. You can access the course here, and there will be a space in the application to indicate the date you completed the course and to upload your certificate (or you can update this after you apply).

We are all looking forward to the summer programs on the Banksia Peninsula and surrounds, and we hope to see you there!
