Dear Camp Attendees,
We hope you are all excited about the first year camp, which promises to be
a weekend packed with almost too much fun! The camp is being held at Broken
Bay Sport and Recreation Centre, a beautiful island at the mouth of the
Hawkesbury River on the Central Coast. We will be traveling to and from
the mainland by train from central, where we will be collected by a ferry
to take us to the island.

For those who are not totally familiar with Central, there are two sections
-Suburban platforms and Sydney Terminal. We will be meeting at Sydney
Terminal, outside Hungry Jacks, where all the intercity trains arrive and
depart. If you get lost, ask someone for directions to Hungry Jacks.
So what will you do on the camp?
