COVID restrictions

  • ​Camp will only run if Oamaru is at Covid Alert Level 1 and Covid restrictions do not prevent a significant number of tutors or players attending from elsewhere in New Zealand. 
  • 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 Covid Alert Levels then move to Level 2 or higher, Camp will stop immediately and participants will be responsible for getting themselves home.
  • If there are insufficient enrolments to run Camp properly by 1 December, Camp may be cancelled and fees refunded in full.
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.
