KWELA Camp Announcement

Dear KWELA Friends, Parents and Facilitators,

we hope this message finds you well and that you are all looking forward to the well-deserved break up ahead.

Following our best attempts and trying to consider all options,there will be no KWELA camp in January 2022. Our applications for children and facilitators attending camp is unfortunately too low. While we are very sad that we are yet again not able to have a camp, we do understand and respect the fact that we are living through unsure and unprecedented times. The reasons indicated by parents and therapists alike included finances, uncertainty regarding the new year and unforeseen changes in the school dates.

We are in the process of considering all avenues and options on how to proceed in future, and ensure that the legacy of KWELA can continue. As a start, we would appreciate any and all feedback from parents, therapists and facilitators, regarding camp.

We are also considering small changes to camp and would appreciate your comments regarding the following two ideas:

1. Would you prefer camp to be in the December holiday or over a weekend (Friday to Tuesday) in the September school holiday?

2. What are your preferences regarding sleeping over at the camp: having an optional sleepover, full sleepover for the duration of camp, or having the sleepover the last evening?

We will share our ideas and all relevant information regarding camp as soon as possible in the new year, and appreciate your continued support.

Yours faithfully,

the KWELA team
