  • July Camps 2022

  • ERCNSW will be organising two programs in the July School Holidays: a Sydney Metro Camp, and a regional South Coast camp at Tuross Head. New Volunteers will be eligible for either program – pending completion of training and their Safeguarding Assessment – with transport provided for the South Coast camp.

    However, please note that these will be small programs, in line with COVID-safe requirements. We will also need to prioritise placements of experienced volunteers to ensure essential camp safety and processes can be carried out, and appropriately passed on to first-time volunteers on those programs.

    It is likely that all new volunteers who apply will not be able to attend in July. ERCNSW will endeavour to place as many of you as possible, with priority given for next holidays if you miss out on the first round of placements. Moreover, indicating availability for our July waiting lists is essential and may mean an offer of placement if someone drops out – as happened a number of times in April 2022.

    Camp Information

    Program Dates 
    Week 1 (Mulgoa): Monday 4 - Friday 8 July
    Week 2 (Tuross): Sunday 10 - Friday 15 July

    Locations
    ‘Winbourne’ 1315 Mulgoa Rd, Mulgoa
    'The Pines' Education & Retreat Centre, 36 Craddock Rd, Tuross Head

    Your Application
    Please be aware that this is an expression of interest form. It will assist us greatly if you could note your availability for either/both camps. More information will help us to organise better and maximise placements – however, we cannot guarantee any until we begin the process.

    We will endeavour to inform you of placement as soon as possible.
