You are a vital component of your camp’s success. Coming to camp may not be a holiday for you, but it is definitely a worthwhile experience for both staff and students. Feel free to involve yourself in activities, it’s important for you to have fun too!

Teachers/camp leaders are encouraged to work closely with Wymah Valley Holiday Park staff. A strong team approach provides supportive, nurturing environments throughout the camp ensuring camp outcomes are achieved.

Teachers/adult supervisors are responsible for student’s behaviour, wellbeing and first aid at all times and will accompany students on all activities, including activities that are led by Wymah Valley Holiday Park staff.

Teacher/adult supervisors are encourage to be involved in passive camp activities. As per Department of Education guidelines, Wymah Valley Holiday Park requests a teacher/student ratio of 1:10 for camping programs.

• Visiting teachers will need to complete and sign a medical and consent form - Teacher (Form no. 6)
• Adult supervisors will need to complete and sign a medical and consent form - Adult (Form no. 7).
• Parents or non-teaching staff attending camp will need to be prepared to undertake the same supervision responsibilities as visiting teachers.

We try to minimize the workload on visiting staff members, however there are some things that must be done to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students visiting Wymah Valley Holiday Park. On your arrival we will provide you with a briefing on what exactly is required. You have your final say on any program areas involving your students. Should you wish to end an activity early or cancel it completely, we are more than happy to make alternative arrangements.

Visiting teachers will be responsible for student behaviour and discipline during camp. Please ensure regular night checks are made in the dormitories. Students will need their rest to make the most out of their camp. Wymah Valley Holiday Park Staff are on call and available during emergencies outside general camp hours. An after hours emergency contact number will be provided.

Visiting teachers will need to dispense any medication required by students from their school. Should visiting teachers need to leave camp, please notify Wymah Valley Holiday Park staff in advance.
