23 Jul Covid Safe Testimonial
There’s always a nervous anticipation when you start something “new”, which was really what it was like last week when we re-opened for schools with Covid-Safe operations. So we were really chuffed to get this feedback on how we went.
It was so good to bring the students to Mapleton last week. I was not sure we would have the opportunity to do so this year, so while there were many differences in this camp to the format we are used to, it was wonderful to be there and some of the changes turned out to be highly valued. That is especially the case with the Triballink programs and I have already had conversations with the administration about retaining that component for next year’s camp program.
I just wanted to thank the team at QCCC Mapleton for the level of care taken in providing the opportunity to bring one hundred students and adults for the camp this year, while you were dealing with the restrictions and changes brought about by Covid19. The adjustments in all areas, from the provision of meals to the organisation of activities, along with the changes to the use of the dormitories, brought high levels of safety and confidence for us as we spent the four days together there.
I am aware of the challenges this season has brought and am extremely grateful that the students were able to have such a safe, high quality experience. Thank you to your entire team for the extra efforts involved in making our camp possible this year.
