SONY Camp

As the 2019 school year draws to a close, around 30 Year 11 volunteers will be joined by a number of returning Year 12 ‘Super-Companions’ to provide ten youngsters with special needs a fun-filled weekend. Arriving after school on Friday of our final week,  these Warwick based young campers will spend the next three nights in Cunningham House and fill the days with a range of activities that are fun and exciting.  These activities include:

  • A visit to the Granite Belt Maze
  • A session with Law Dogs
  • Lunch at McDonalds and making their own desserts
  • Gym-olympics
  • WIRAC water fun
  • Dancing the night away at their own disco
  • Horse riding
  • Arts and crafts and hanging out with their companions.

On Monday morning there will be pipe band fun, morning tea with their parents and a visit from a jolly fellow in a red suit. The impact of such an experience cannot be underestimated for both the companions and campers.

Settlers

Parent helpers are always welcome and play an important role each evening as ‘settlers’.  Settlers come into the boarding house in the evenings for an hour or so and assist with settling campers into bed and allowing the companions time to have a shower and attend the day’s debrief. If you would like to be a settler, please contact Beverly Hobbs (4666 9841 or beverly.hobbs@scotspgc.com.au).

Baking

Another way to help is by way of donations of home-baking for supper for the always-hungry teenagers. Any donations of home baking can be left with Beverly or at Reception and would be gladly welcomed.

Pool Supervision

With two sessions at WIRAC; one on Friday evening and then again on Saturday afternoon, it is always helpful to have as many eyes as possible watching from the poolside. If you have an hour or so to spare, then please let Beverly know.
