What is O’camp? 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. Can I come? Orientation camp is open to all 1st year students of any course. The camp lasts 3 days from Friday 21st February through to Sunday 23rd and is held at Campapse Downs (near Kyneton). An indoor pool, spa and sauna, basketball, volleyball, trampolines, canoes, a 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. O-Camp ‘13 Count Me In!
