What is planned so far ...
Friday
Friday is set up day. You are welcome to arrive at the Bulls Domain any time from 11am. The bar in the Rugby Clubrooms will be open from late afternoon on Friday.
Saturday
On Saturday morning join in the fun activities. See how fast you can pitch a pup tent – and you can even try doing this blindfolded. There will be tug of war and golf putting competitions as well as a variety of fun activities for all ages.
During Saturday afternoon there will be workshops and the annual camping competition (more details to come).
The local band Light Years will play at Camp Fest on Saturday evening. Their music has been very popular at previous Camp Fests. Campers are encouraged to don on their favourite fancy dress costume while they listen and dance to the band. There might even be a prize or two.
Sunday
We will begin Sunday with another workshop for campers and the Camp Fest prizegiving (more details to come).
After that it will be pack up time.
