Planning your camp
We understand the stress teachers experience when they are planning for camps and the huge amount of paperwork and regulation that is involved in the process. We want to make planning and coming on camp just as enjoyable for the teachers as it is for the students so we have tried our best to make the process streamlined and simple.

Meeting your curriculum requirementsWe understand that going on camp is becoming a difficult event for teachers. It eats into the time you have to get through the curriculum, there is a lot of policy surrounding your approval to go on camp and is a physically tiring experience.
We want to make this time as beneficial and as enjoyable as possible for all our teachers and students who come to stay. Blue Lagoon is a NARTA accredited site and offers fully programmed camps. Talk to us about the curriculum outcomes you need your camp to cover and we will let you know how we can tailor your time at camp to suit. We are happy to put together your program for you or help you to adapt your current program to create a great experience for both you and your students. |
