The camp is a great mix of training and fun that will allow you make a huge leap in your understanding of Hapkido and at the same time meet other like-minded martial artists. In this environment you get to meet and train with other students and instructors - including our 6^th and 5^th-dan masters - all of whom will provide helpful hints, training tips and new challenges – this sometimes includes ‘Aquakido’, where Hapkido meets the swimming pool!

WHERE:

Milsons Island Sports and Recreation Centre is located on the Hawkesbury River:

• 60 minute drive north of Sydney or 30 minute drive north of Hornsby (Friday night traffic leaving Sydney may extend this)
• 2 hours drive south of Newcastle

Access is by boat only, mostly from Brooklyn Wharf which is only a 3-4 minute walk from the wharf. There are 2 other possible pickup/drop off wharves - further information on this aspect of the camp will be provided and discussed with participants after the registration period closes.

WHAT:

The full camp price includes all meals and accommodation from Friday evening till Sunday after lunch. Note the last training session of the camp is Sunday morning 9am to 12 noon, followed by lunch and tidy up of the lodges. Most people depart by 2pm, although we have access to the site until 4pm. Dinner is served at 6.30pm sharp. We realise that not everyone can arrive by that time on the Friday night, so we will contact all registered attendees closer to the camp date to confirm who will be requiring Friday night dinner.

Accommodation is in up to 5 lodges which sleep up to 27 people each. Each lodge is divided into a number of rooms with bunk beds and each has a covered outdoor seating area. The lodges have heating and airconditioning and each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, fan and storage shelving. The complex also has various sporting facilities available to us during our stay including the pool, tennis courts, beach volleyball court, basketball courts etc (BYO equipment - balls, racquets, clubs, etc).

Bring a pillow case (mandatory - camp rules) and either (1) a sleeping bag or (2) sheets and a doona, also toiletries. (Pillows are supplied). A suggested packing list will be provided closer to the camp weekend.

Parents/guardians!: All children will be carefully supervised during training sessions over the weekend – just as they are during their regular classes - HOWEVER we do not provide general supervision for unaccompanied children. If you have a child or children under the age of 15 years who wish to attend the camp unaccompanied by you, you will need to first discuss this with their instructor. Either your child’s instructor or another adult from their club must agree to act as guardian to your child/ren for that weekend for your child/ren to be able to attend.

Children 15 years and older may attend the camp unaccompanied provided their parent/guardian approves of this.

Please note: registration is a two-step process. Once you have completed this online registration you will be sent a confirmation email - this email contains information you will need to log on to the Dept of Sport website to complete their Medical and Consent Form. THIS IS MANDATORY - if you do not complete a Medical and Consent Form Milsons Island will not consider you to have registered, rendering you unable to attend the camp. EVERY attendee - whether for the full weekend or one day only, whether training or not - MUST complete a separate Medical and Consent Form.
