COVID restrictions
Following the government's announcement of their new approach to COVID-19 (the COVID-19 Protection Framework also known as the Traffic Light System), we can proceed with Camp only if:
By 18 December at the latest, we will make a final decision on whether to proceed with Camp.
- We have switched to the Traffic Light System, which at present is dependent on all New Zealand District Health Boards reaching a 90% fully vaccinated against COVID-19 target AND
- Oamaru is at Green or Orange AND
- All participants and tutors show evidence of full vaccination against COVID-19 (a vaccination certificate) AND
- We have enough players to form a viable orchestra.
By 18 December at the latest, we will make a final decision on whether to proceed with Camp.
- If Camp is cancelled any time up until 28 December, fees will be refunded in full.
- If Camp is cancelled after 28 December, only a portion of fees may be refunded.
- If Camp commences and Oamaru moves to Red, Camp will stop immediately and participants will be responsible for getting themselves home.
Applications are now open and we like applications by the beginning of November, as this will help with us with planning, but late applications will certainly be considered. Money is due by the beginning of December.
