We have full wet weather options available for you. For any information on wet weather options please contact the Hosting, Activities and Education Manager. Some activities at camp are weather dependant because of the environment in which we carry them out. The team decides whether to postpone or cancel an activity. The host will then inform the relevant supervisors of activities. We allocate wet weather activities as backups in case conditions deem an activity unsafe. We arranged these prior to the group arriving and will be ready to go if needed. Parent training on activities is to include the wet weather alternatives where appropriate. We review activity provision at least once a day with forecasts sought from Met-service. We will share information from this forecast between activities staff during the morning briefing and any relevant information passed on to the group leader. Postponing or calling off an activity will occur if the safety or wellbeing of the participants becomes questionable or imminent. This can be because of a direct change in weather or by the group’s ability/inability to cope with the conditions, such as insufficient clothing, lack of experience with an activity, age. This information will relayed to the adult helpers who are running activities without a staff member.

Conditions leading to cancellation of activities:
RAIN: Moderate Rain: Rainfall of 2-6mm per hour: We will cancel Confidence Course and Poles and Planks as it becomes too slippery.
Heavy Rain: Rainfall of 6-25mm per hour: All water-based activities including kayaking are to be postponed during heavy rain and will restart after it ceases.
Torrential Rain: Rainfall of 25mm per hour or more: we will cancel all outdoor activities during torrential rain. 
THUNDER: Thunder will cause the postponement of some activities for a minimum 15 minute probationary period. The activity may resume if thunder is not heard again. If thunder is continuous, we will cancel the activity until safe to use again. Applicable activities will be advised during your morning supervision training for activities. If thunder occurs while students are on the bush walk, the activity is cancelled and the group must make their way back to camp immediately via the quickest and safest route available. LIGHTENING: We postpone all activities if lightning occurs. They cannot resume until 30 minutes after the last lightning flash. All guests are to make their way indoors until the probationary period has passed. If thunder continues after this time, follow the policy statement for that weather condition and the activity.
