Year 10 Camps:

Deposits are open for the Gold Coast Camp! These can be made by the Horsham College QKR! App or via the admin office. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit required for the sunny Queensland camp, with many spots still available!Snow Camp has reached capacity. There is a waitlist available if students become unavailable. Deposits close on Monday 25th March, close of business. At this stage, there will be no Yr 10 Melbourne camp due to low interest. This may change if interest grows.
