E.O.T.C. Goals Learning Intentions: -Provide students with
opportunities to learn outside the classroom in all curriculum
areas. -Provide students with opportunities for enjoyment,
adventure and challenge both close to home and far away. -Provide
students with opportunities to enhance spiritual, physical and
mental well being through uplifting experiences in a natural
environment. -Develop students skills so that they can move with
confidence and safety within a rural and or wilderness setting.
-Develop appreciation for the predator free area that allows native
birds and wildlife to develop Safe Outdoor Learning Experiences To
achieve safe outdoor learning experiences, everyone needs to work
together, just like sailing a real boat. So all groups involved in
EOTC have shared, not sole, responsibility for safety. -

Parents attending Camp Roles and Expectations Our parents and
volunteers are a crucial part to our camp success. Therefore you
are all seen as staff first and parents second. Your role is to
work alongside the teaching staff or with camp instructors;
following the programme or activity to the letter. You are there to
support, comfort and assist with whatever activity you have been
assigned to. If there needs to be any disciplining of any kind
please refer the incident to the nearest available teacher. We are
expected to behave professionally and responsibly throughout the
time you are around the children, remembering that we are there for
all the children and not just our own. Please do not get in a
situation where your child and their friends pressure you into
making a decision that may put you or the students at risk, i.e.
swimming in the sea..
Slide 6
Parents attending Camp Please assist in the dishing up of the
meals, we allow the children to eat first as it is their camp. You
will also be expected to care after a cabin and be responsible in
overseeing a group when on duty. There are a lot of thankless jobs
that need doing, and very little down time for you. Especially when
excited, kids dont get to sleep till late and wake up early the
next day. Knowing and understanding that camp is literally a 24 / 7
experience can prepare you in advance. If there needs to be any
disciplining of any kind, this needs to be referred to the nearest
available teacher. There will be NO ALCOHOL whilst at camp, I make
NO apologies about this ruling.
