Camp Fee which includes the complete (day and evening) activity programme,
the camp facilities (including toilets, showers, medical centre, sub-camp

Travel and Fuel: 25 seater
Coach to take us and bring us back -
Clothes: International Knecker and Two Camp T' Shirts
Get Together's: Sleepover 28 to 29
March 2009 and a Teambuilding Day 6 June - these are intended so that Girls
and Leaders can bond/get to know each other and take part in activities
from the Wings Launch Pad programme as well as plan for the camp
itself..
Sundries: Fuel, Camp Items, Gas,
Condiments
Contingency Fund: For emergency and
unidentified costs |
|
Fundraising:
|
The Girls don't pay for
the trip themselves, that would be too easy. Part of the International
experience in Staffordshire is earning your place.
Girls are
expected to raise the cost of their trip by fundraising (fundraising
ideas) and will have been sent an information pack on how to raise the
necessary funds.
The time and effort put into fundraising helps them link with the
community and appreciate the trip, experience and effort more.
