Camps 2027
Upcoming Camps – Expressions of Interest
We encourage all families to take a look at our upcoming Camps Newsfeed, which provides information about the camps and experiences being planned for our students from 2027-30. Camps are a valuable opportunity for students to build connections, develop independence, strengthen friendships and create lasting memories beyond the classroom.
Families are asked to review the information provided and submit their expressions of interest by Friday 23 October.
We look forward to providing our students with these valuable opportunities to learn, grow and connect with others as part of their Melba College experience. Please see the video explaining below.
