KEY INFORMATION

We want you to feel prepared and confident before you arrive at camp.

This page brings together key details you’ll need to know – our commitment to safety management, what gear we recommend for your comfort and security and the group duties that help make camp life run smoothly.

Safety management

We work very hard at HHCC to manage your safety during your visit with us. We know this is a prime consideration for many people booking an outdoor programme, and be assured it is the top of our priorities as well. It is important to realise however, that the outdoors and activities carried out at HHCC contain risks that can not be completely eliminated. To successfully remove all risks, would destroy the unique character that takes people into the outdoors.

While at HHCC you may live, travel, and camp outdoors as part of your programme. Activities vary greatly and you may visit remote places some distance from base camp and medical facilities where communication and transportation is difficult and sometimes evacuation and medical care may be delayed.

We are not telling you this to frighten you, or reduce your enthusiasm for coming to camp, but we believe it is important for you to know the risks in advance so that you can make informed decisions about your programme.

Group duties

Where the majority of the camp are children we insist that at least one adult is included with each group setting & clearing

SETTING AND CLEARING TABLES
4 people required each meal (including 1 adult)

BEFORE EACH MEAL
Report to the kitchen 15 minutes prior to each meal. Set table as directed by camp staff.

CAMPERS’ DISHES
2 adults required each meal (Children are not permitted in our washing up area).

MORNING & AFTERNOON TEA
Groups bring their own morning and afternoon tea. If you need this to be provided, a special request to the kitchen is essential.

Suggested gear

To make your time at Highland Home Christian Camp comfortable and safe, we’ve put together a recommended gear list to help you prepare. Please pack according to the season, as weather conditions can change quickly in the outdoors. Make sure all items are clearly named to avoid mix-ups, and consider bringing durable, practical clothing and equipment suited for outdoor activities. Being well-prepared ensures you can focus on enjoying your experience to the fullest.
