FERAL Camp 2010

Leaders go FERAL at F.E.R.A.L. Camp 2010 20-21 February 2010 (Fellowship Educating Real Attitude Leaders)

FERAL Camp was attended by a whopping 48 Leaders this year, almost double previous years. For the first time we welcomed several Committee members to camp. An honourable mention also goes to Kay Montgomery from South East Queensland Catchments who not only presented several informative and entertaining sessions, but spent the entire weekend with us.

We also enjoyed a visit from the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with some exciting news of upcoming events.
