CAMP KOKODA
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
All programs go ahead regardless of weather conditions. During hot summer months, walking is kept to a minimum. Programs can be adapted on the spot.
HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?
A degree of fitness is helpful, but our programs are designed to anyone keen for an adventure experience.
DO YOU HAVE A COVID SAFE PLAN?
Yes campers and staff will engage in increased handwashing and use of hand sanitizer upon arrival, departure, before and after eating, before and after bathroom use, and between activities as well as equipment being sanitised in between uses.
WHAT IF I NEED TO ARRIVE LATE OR LEAVE EARLY?
If a group member or visitor to the group (e.g. school principal) would like to visit, join up or leave a group during a camp, please notify administration at least two weeks prior to the camp so that it can be built into the schedule. For legal responsibility and camp location reasons, an instructor must accompany a visiting party both in and out of the camp site.

Camp Kokoda caters for most dietary concerns such as gluten free, vegetarian, dairy or lactose intolerance. This information is collected on participant medical/consent forms and given to us prior to camp. Please contact us if you have any further queries.
