🔗 Camp map (PDF)The cable gate allows one vehicle through at a time — the next car must re-enter the code. You won't need the code to exit; drive slowly toward the gate and it lowers automatically.
Parking is available along the street from Cardinal Meeting Hall to the Bus Turn, as long as traffic isn't blocked. Any problems — call a Committee Member (numbers available on the day).
Whether you're collecting at the end of Day 1, picking up a day camper, or collecting at the end of camp on Monday — the process is the same each time.
Final pick-up and sign-out takes place at Dining Room 1 from 4:30pm on Monday 20 July, after the finale concert wraps up. Please ensure you sign your child out before leaving the site.
If your child isn't staying overnight, here's everything you need to know about drop-off, pick-up, and what's included across both days.
The no-phones and no-devices rule applies to all students regardless of whether they're staying overnight. Please leave devices at home.

If your child is unwell, please keep them home and notify us by emailing musiccamp.mhps@gmail.com.
If your child is anaphylactic, reinforce at the medical table during sign-in that their epi-pen will be kept near them at all times. Ensure action plans are current and all medications have not expired before camp.

Dining Room, Ern Halliday Camp
The highlight of the camp — both the Area Band and String Orchestra perform together for family and friends. All students take part.
All Ern Halliday instructors hold a Working with Children Check, National Police Clearance, and Senior First Aid as a minimum. Activity timing may shift slightly on the day to best suit students' needs.
Each student will have a copy of this schedule on their lanyard throughout camp. Go through it with them beforehand so they know what to expect.
