You are invited to nippers leadership camp.

Your child is now one of the senior members of our Nippers. The purpose of the Leadership Camp is to foster a feeling of pride and responsibility within the participants. They will have the opportunity to refresh old skills, and get to learn new land and water based skills in the camp activities. Our focus will be on enhancing leadership skills whilst the nippers are busy having fun.

Throughout the camp, the Nippers will be supervised by members of the Water Safety Team and Junior Committee. If you would like to be part of the camp supervision, please contact a Junior Committee member.
