Exciting new adventure planned for 2022
|
The Burn Support Group is extremely pleased to announce a new and exciting project for 2022.
As we are all aware, the original camp for 2022 sadly had to be cancelled and will resume in 2023. This obviously was unfortunate news to share, however it is a pleasure to invite your children to the alternative initiative. Looking to the future, and understanding the value and benefits of Camp Awhi, it has now been planned to take place during the July school holidays. An exciting schedule has been designed for a “Wonderful Winter Camp”, the venue is Taylor Lodge, Ohakune. Please find information on the dates and what is required from you when completing the application form. It is vitally important to note the changes in the application form and complete where necessary. We are all aware of the difficulties this year has provided for many. We certainly hope next year will bring on a new normal which allows everyone to reconnect, enjoy the snow and have a great time! Keeping very transparent, the lovely hosts of this Lodge have advised they do not have restrictions on vaccination, for the requirement of the Charity it is vital you complete #8 on page 6 of the application form. It is also advised that there is a definite number that can attend this camp, to ensure your child secures a place, PLEASE do not delay in returning your application. Regrettably parents shall not be able to attend this event, the Charity is very grateful for the wonderful leaders and support volunteer team that do ensure foremost the safety of all children attendees. Thank you to all for your support, understanding and cooperation towards this amazing event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Michele at the office. Once we move into 2022, information regarding transport will be provided as with the list of recommended items to bring along. |
Wishing everyone the very best as we head into Christmas, stay safe and enjoy your time with family and friends

Upcoming Camp - Postponed until 2023
|
It is with great sadness, Camp Awhi 2022, taking place at Ngatuhoa Lodge has had to be postponed until the following year (2023).
With the current situation taking place throughout the country, the board deemed it a very unfortunate dilemma logistically to ensure everyone could and would have been able to attend. Please trust me when I say this was an incredibly difficult decision and was not made lightly, we have everyone's best interest at heart who attends this amazing event! Please read the attached information sheet, your responses will greatly support the charity moving forward. We would also like to sincerely thank those wonderful organisations that offered their support to us over the five days in the Tauranga District, we will welcome your contributions in 2023! To all those fabulous families who entrust their children to enjoy this amazing and unique camp, thank you for your participation and we totally understand this is not the welcomed news you would have liked to hear.
On a more positive note, PLEASE keep an eye on the website as we will be working hard to offer an alternative during 2022. Burn Support Group appreciates your continuing support and patience looking towards the future.
