CAMP COSTS:
Unfortunately, COVID-19 has had a severe impact on our bottom line. Accordingly, we've had no choice but to increase the fees for both volunteers and campers. We ask new volunteers for a $100 donation to attend camp. This contribution does not cover the full cost/head on camp but will assist ERCNSW with some of the costs associated with training, accommodation, food, resources and administrative tasks. When you return to camp, volunteers are asked to make a $60 contribution to each camp.
We are always looking to reduce the cost of camp for families and volunteers alike. If you are experiencing financial distress, please contact the Executive Officer on 0468 511 096 for a confidential conversation.

A CHILD'S WORTH
"Eddie Rice Camps have been such an awesome thing for me!
The games and activities they put on for us kids is the best fun I've ever had.
I feel so good about myself and my new friends when I get home".
