QUMS 2017 Sem 2 Camp

Please also fill in the CAMP TRANSPORT FORM when buying your ticket!

It's necessary so that we can arrange lifts for everyone efficiently :)

One weekend each Semester, QUMS will host a Choir Camp. This is a weekend retreat, from Friday evening through to Sunday evening. As well as being a lot of fun (themed dress-up night, musical revues, board games, singing around campfires etc), we workshop and rehearse in depth for the up-coming concert. Camp weekends are the cheapest fully-catered weekend away you’ll ever get! Attendance is very important, as it equates to several rehearsal’s worth of learning. Transport, dietary requirements etc are all catered for. If you must be absent try to make at least part of the weekend, and discuss with the execs (Katie / Andrew / Alex). If you have difficulties paying for camp, we have payment plans available for you. Talk to our treasurer (Andrew) about it 

This semester camp is in Bribie Island! The accommodation is at Bribie Island Retreat and Recreation Centre (the St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College), 2–12 Third Avenue, Woorim. It's about 1.5 hour drive from UQ.

This camp we are going to have a special performance with Bribie Island Gleeman on Saturday 19 August! Get keen! :D

FAQs

• Camping/Tents??!! 
  • ​NO! No tents. Real beds are provided in mini-dormitories of 4/6/8 people, so you can "get a room" with your friends. Or make new ones. Bring your own bedding/sleeping-bag.
• Campfires?
  • Only for singing around, not for cooking (so bring your songbooks). All catering is done in a professional-grade kitchen.
• Ablution blocks?
  • ​Not en-masse-shower cubicles (some may be disappointed to learn). Ladies and gents get their own bathrooms, with individual showers. Bring your own soap and towel.
• Banging? 
  • A time-held tradition... You may get "banged-up" at dinner and put on the spot to stand up and tell your best/worst joke.  So be sure you bring a joke to share.
• Fancy Dress?
  • ​The theme for Saturday night is.... AUSTRALIANA!!!
• Revue?
  • Another time-honoured tradition: After dinner on Saturday, we entertain each other with a bit of a "floor-show"; if you  have a favourite song/ditty/parody or act that you can entertain us with, the stage is all yours for your crack at fame. Or infamy. Judges will decide the winner - but they are easily bribed with chocolates / alcohol / pretty much anything, so bring along a suitable "incentive" :-)
• Day-trippers?
  • ​Some folks may not relish the idea of overnighting in anything other than their own feather beds. If this is you, you have the option of commuting (it is a good hour+ drive) each day. Be sure to arrive by 8:30am. If you arrive earlier, you may be rewarded with a hot breakfast.
