Social Camp Semester 1

Are you keen to get outdoors, meet new people and harness the NUMC spirit? This is the trip for you!

Join us on 6th-8th Feburary for a weekend of camping, swimming, bushwalks, games and crafts. We will be camping at The Steps Barrington, who have generously provided a discount on camping fees for NUMC! If you are new to the area/haven't camped at this awesome spot, check out the campsite at: https://www.thestepsbarrington.com.au/ This campsite has hot showers, toilets and drinking water.

Important Info

We have to book our spots in advance so there are a limited number of tickets - get in quick before they sell out!

We will meet at the Gearshed at 3pm on the Friday and return on the Sunday at 4pm. If these times do not work for you, please message me so we can discuss possible alternate arrangements. A general itinerary will be provided prior to the trip outlining some fun, opt-in activities during the day!

Dinner will be provided Friday and Saturday night accompanied by a campfire (if fire restrictions allow it). If we have a campfire, it is important that no riverstones are placed around the fire as they could explode.

We will camp by the river so bring swimmers and a towel if you're keen for a dip! The river's current can change quickly so there will be lifejackets if anyone would prefer one!
