Once again the Rotary Club of Healesville, in partnership with the OTU (Officer Training Unit) Association's Victorian Chapter, proposes to sponsor two boys and two girls from MLMC to attend the Lord and Lady Somers Camps from 5-12 January 2019 and 13-19 January 2019 respectively.
Applications to attend the camps are now open and are to be submitted electronically HERE by Friday 21 September 2018.
Lord Somers Camp staff will review the applications and by late October the successful applicants will be contacted and made an offer. If the offer is accepted, the successful applicants will be asked to arrange payment of a deposit.
The 2019 camp will cost $575. The OTU Association (Victoria Chapter) and the Rotary Club of Healesville have again agreed to sponsor MLMC’s successful applicants on the basis that the applicant pays a deposit of $100 (as per last year) and the sponsors pay the remaining $475 (on a 50/50 share basis). Given our experience with this program over the years, could students please ensure that the electronic applications are completed in detail and submitted by the due date and that the age group of the applicant conforms strictly to the Lord Somers Camp and Power House guidelines, ie 16 ½ to 18 at 1 January 2019.
Arrangements will be made for Rotary Club of Healesville and OTU Association members to meet sponsored participants at the camps and, after the camps, the students will be invited to a Rotary Club of Healesville’s meeting to inform club members of their camp experiences. Attendance at this meeting is expected.
The Rotary Club of Healesville and the OTU Association's Victorian Chapter are pleased to be able to sponsor our students and view this program as one that will have a significant effect on their personal development and one that will provide them with an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
