Orientation camp
is the best way to kick off your new Uni life. Party all weekend,
meet new friends, fall off a canoe, have a blast, dance all night
and remember it for the rest of your life. By O'Week, you'll find
that instead of standing in a crowd of strangers, you'll be surrounded
by friends.
Orientation Camp is open to all
1st year students of any course.
The camp lasts 3 days from Friday 18th February through to Sunday
20th and is held at Campapse Downs Country Resort (near Kyneton).
An indoor pool, spa and sauna, basketball, volleyball, trampolines,
canoes, private lake and a goat are all on offer, as well as the
traditional array of events, activities, games and spontaneous silliness
that live on in Uni folklore. It's guaranteed that all through first
year, enough classic "and one time, on O'Camp" stories will be told
to make even the most thick-skinned non-camper jealous...
Numbers are limited to 250 with a
strict 'first in first served' policy - so you'd
better get your application in early!
Pack your stuff, which should include:
• Three days worth of clothes, warm or cold.
• Bathers, towel, shower bag and shower cap if you want to
look silly.
• Address book and pens for all the new friends you will make.
• No glass bottles - Alcohol should be brought in cans wherever
possible
• No sleeping bags - bedding is provided
• No food is necessary - 3 'gourmet' meals a day will be provided
by the camp managers.
Orientation Camp is an annual event run by us,
the Science Students' Society - a non-profit, non-exclusive student
society affiliated with the Melbourne University Student Union. Membership
is a paltry $2 (get your sss discount card here!!), and is open to
ABSOLUTELY ANYONE hanging around Melbourne Uni, Science student or
otherwise... Orientation camp usually runs at a small loss, but is
subsidised by money raised at our other (fun) events throughout the
year. Feel free to browse the site, and get as excited as we are about
our many upcoming sell-out events...! You'll read about it first on
