Camp is
held every two years. For years 7–8 this is a week-long trip to Curious Cove
(in the Marlborough Sounds), and for years 5–6, El Rancho. Camp is held in
February/March, when the weather is most stable, so fundraising begins the year
before, when those who will be going to camp are in years 4–7.
This year (2016)
is a fundraising year, and children will be off to camp in early 2017.
The PFA
does everything we can to support our families with children going to camp, and
it becomes one of our main fundraising focusses in the year before (we still
fund-raise for other projects, as well). For those children who aren't going to
camp this time, it's a great opportunity for them to see how our community
works together to support one another, and for them to help out their whanau
buddies. In a few years' time they will be going, and others will be helping to
support them, so they learn about paying it forward.
Do let us know if you can join the PFA to help
out with fundraising – many hands make light work.
