rumpus weekends term one

Welcome to Term 1 of Rumpus Weekends. The program is largely suitable for participants who can be supported in a 1:4 ratio – although we do have some staff available to support those who need a higher ratio or 1:1 support. Please be guided by the age recommendations and the interests of your child.

This program is facilitated by Ben Cook who can be reached on (03) 5245 8539 or ben.cook@wildrumpus.org.au.

Instead of running camps over Term 1, we are running 3 small weekends away at holiday homes which we have very limited places for – but have some bigger camps booked for Term 2, 3 & 4. A camp facilitator has recently joined our team – Jack NcKenzie, who can be reached on (03) 5245 8539 or jack.mckenzie@wildrumpus.org.au.

 

to make your preferences… Please lodge your expression of interest by Friday 16th of January by

phoning (03) 5245 8539 or emailing intake@wildrumpus.org.au (please leave a message on voicemail if there is no answer)

Please note that lodging an expression does not guarantee days as we have limited places, but strive to meet all requests.
