Will there be any adults on camp?
Yes, adults will be overlooking and providing extra supervision on the camp, including the married Shlichim from both Sydney and Perth and an adult from Melbourne.
Can I get a refund if my child no longer wants to go on camp but I have already paid and signed him up?
It is our policy that we do not offer refunds. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, a refund will be issued at the discretion of the Rosh Machane, Federal Merakezet or Federal Shlichim.
How will my children be getting to and from camp?
Sydney and Perth
If registered via the FBI travel agent online portal by the cut-off date of October the 25th, chanichim will be flying to Melbourne and then busing from the airport to the campsite.
On their way home, they will be bussed to the airport and catch flights back to their respective states.
If not registered, chanichim will be expected to make their own way to and from camp.
Melbourne:
All Chanichim are expected to be at the drop off site (that will be announced via email) on Monday 18th of December. Busses are expected to leave at approximately 9:30am and travel to the campsite.
What if my child can only come for some of the camp?
It is expected that your child comes for the full time of camp, as this will ensure the best and most rewarding experience. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, we ask that you speak to the Rosh Machane, and they will consider it based on the situation.
Are there emergency services near the campsite?
There are numerous emergency services only a few minutes drive away. Their specific locations will be shared via email.
Will there be any medics/doctors on camp?
Yes, a fully trained medic will be present throughout camp and a qualified doctor will be present over Shabbat.
