The rooms are well appointed with a choice of six and eight bed fully carpeted dormitories, most with their own shower and toilet. In addition the camp offers motel units with en-suites, a laundry, leaders lounge, disabled toilets, craft room, tuck shop, managed office, photocopying....and more.

We expect some Malaysians to come and with our current winter some warm blankets on loan for them would be appreciated. Don't forget to bring goodies for morning, afternoon teas and supper etc. Also bring you own warm clothing too. Enquiries to Stan Seminow 9526 1189 Watch out for enrolment forms arriving soon at your Assembly. (Even though some folk went to Malaysia earlier this year our camp is still on. They may have slides to show of their experience, I'm told they had a great time and the locals paid for everything!)
