In Term 4 our Senior Team students will be going to the Vertical Horizon Camp. This is a two night, fully-catered camp.  Vertical Horizon Camp is based 10km from Inglewood. The accommodation consists of lodges and chalets that offer distinct areas for boys and girls.

During the day students move from one activity to the next. At the activity station there is an instructor. The instructors are equipped with radio communication devices, first aid kits and relevant safety equipment. Students will enjoy many action-packed activities which are designed to promote fun through teamwork and provide personal challenges for individuals.  It is also an excellent chance to consolidate friendships within the senior team.

If your child does not attend camp then they should be at school as normal. Work will be set and a class allocated for them.

We will leave school at approximately 9:30am on Monday 31 October and return by 2:30pm on Wednesday 2 November.

We are requesting voluntary donations from parents to help towards the cost of the food, activities and accommodation. We are hoping to raise $180.00 per student, we appreciate your help with this, as without parental support the trip will not be able to go ahead. We will also be fundraising and we encourage students to find ways of helping out and fundraising at home as well.

The bank account number for donations is: 15 3956 0057371 02

There is an option to pay smaller weekly voluntary contributions prior to camp. If this would suit you (and you can start straight away, should you wish to do this). If you would like to take this option, please contact the Bell Block School Office (office@bellblock.school.nz).

We will require parent helpers to attend the camp, unfortunately there will be a cost to parent helpers of $120.00 to cover the food and accommodation. We will meet with confirmed parent helpers to discuss their involvement in the camp. Parent helpers will be required to complete a medical form and undertake police vetting.  We will provide forms once names of helpers have been confirmed.
