General Questions
Campers must be between the ages of 7 – 17 during the camp year.
Please refer to our Parent Information page for a full packing list 🙂
Mobile phone reception is limited at all camp locations, therefore we cannot promise for daily social media updates. Kolonia’s emergency phone will be available during camp and the number will be distributed prior to camp commencement. If a child wishes to speak to their parent/guardian, contact will be made through the supervising leader. In the same regards, we ask that you do not call the camp location to speak to your child unless it is an emergency. Please do not call your child on their personal mobile as this severely disrupts the camp and other campers. Kolonia Perth has its own mobile phone. The number is 0478 119 127. This mobile phone is active a week before, during, and two weeks after Kolonia. If there is a need or emergency to make contact, parents can refer to the number above and we will respond as soon as possible.
We do not allow for parent visits during the period of camp.

Registration Questions
Firstly, each family need to register their expression of interest (EOI) by filling in the online form and secure the place with a deposit payment. Keep in mind we have limited spots available for each camp, after we reach capacity, a waiting list will be available.
Secondly, after an EOI and deposit is received, the Kolonia Perth Administration team will email an online registration form. We ask that you fill out the online registration form in full, taking care to fill out all fields for each child.
Thirdly, the Kolonia invoice will be issued with the information about the payment due date (usually within 30 days) and the Kolonia bank details.
Kolonia Perth Bank details:
BSB: 066 – 167
Account: 1059 9500
Step 1. Deposit (non-refundable)
$50 per child with the lodgement of the registration form. Participants will not be registered without deposit.
Step 2. Remaining Balance (on the nominated due date)
After confirmation of deposit, the camp administration team will email the parent with the remaining balance for the Kolonia participant(s). Kolonia Perth Administration will email remainders for any outstanding fees. If full payment is not made within the specified time, this will mean the child is not participating in the camp.
