Fri 1st - Sun 3rd November – Family Camp
This year we will hold our now famous November Belmont Scouts Family Camp at "Treetops Camp and Activity Centre" a great Scout camp at Riddles Creek, just 100km from Geelong.
We would like to encourage families to camp if this is practical, but no one should feel excluded.... caravans/campers are an option (and can even access power!) or for those who really need a bit more comfort there are cabins (there are 5 separate 3BR cabins each sleeping 7).
Below is a summary of costs while full details of accommodation options and a map are attached.
Accomodation Camping $5 per person per night
Caravan with power $20 per night for two people, $7 per extra person (caravan without power as for camping)
