Buses
Please let us know through the Group Registration form if you are bringing a bus and what time you are expecting to arrive. This way we can prepare for your arrival, and arrange a suitable parking space for the bus.

Cabins
Please refer to the cabins fact sheet for more information – first in best served.

Collecting your kit from the UC Events Office
Your kits and information will be available to collect from the office from March 6, 2012. Please note that the open office hours during this time are: Monday to Friday between 10am-4pm (we recommend that you call ahead to check that we are in). If these times do not suit you, please call to make an appointment.

Kits must be collected before the Events Office closes 5:00 pm, Wednesday March 21, 2012.

Collecting your kits from KCO
If you wish to collect your kits from KCO, we can post the iron on transfers before hand. Please ensure you have marked this on the Group Registration form. We will post transfers up until Friday March 16, 2012.

Colours
If you have attended KCO in the past, you will be able to keep the same colour (yellow, red, green). Please indicate this on your Group Registration form.

Drinking water
Above ground taps are mains water which is suitable for drinking, there are also rain water tanks at every amenities block. Bore water is used for irrigation and not suitable for drinking, all bore taps are marked.

Forms
Leaders, Junior Leaders and Kids registration forms don’t need to be sent into the UC Events Office, they are for the group coordinator to keep and bring with them on the weekend in case you need to refer to them. The forms that need to be sent into the office are the Group Registration form, Visitors and Visiting Parents form and the Site Pass Application forms (last two still to come).

Hot Water
There are sinks located at the amenities blocks, and hot water is accessible from these taps.

Leaders
Adult Leaders are adults aged 18 and over, Junior Leaders are young people aged 15 -17. Their primary role is to provide supervision for the children in their care.

Junior Leaders need to work with adult leaders, and should not be left to supervise kids on their own. The ratio of kids to a leader is 5: 1 – this doesn’t change with having junior leaders on board.

The Screening and Authority process for KCO applies to all listed, who are present during the KCO program, plus to any individual, aged 15 and over, who stays overnight at The Barossa Valley Tourist Park, regardless of how long they are at camp.

Parking on your site
Don’t forget: only one car per camp site. Ensure that the car can be moved in case of emergency. This car can be used for storage of valuables if necessary.

Power use at your site
Please do not overload the circuits at your camp site. There are only 15 amps available for your use. Please use common sense when plugging into the power. If you take out the circuit, it affects everyone in your road. Electric BBQ’s, fast boil kettles, hair dryers, urns and electric frypans are power hungry. Please do not overload the circuit with more than one of these at a time.

Site allocation
Site allocations will be completed in February, and we hope to be able to notify you by March 16, 2012. Please provide accurate information on your Group Registration form about what you will be bringing. If you do not require power or are able to provide your own power then there are much larger areas available that may meet your needs. If you wish to be located next to another group - please give details on Group Registration form (e.g. sharing catering, tents). We will try to accommodate reasonable requests. Your site allocation information will be delayed if groups do not give us their site information on time.

Traffic
The program runs from 1:00pm Saturday to 1:00pm Sunday (TBC). There will be no vehicle access to the KCO site during this time and cars will not be able to move around the KCO site.

Transport
A suggestion has been made, that if southern churches are hiring busses to travel to KCO, then maybe they could pick up smaller church groups on their way through. Groups who are willing to do this are: Coromandel Valley UC and South West Fleurieu UC.

If your group is willing to be a part of this, please let me know. If you are a smaller group and you would like to see about the possibility of being picked up on the way through, please also let me know.

Travel assistance
If you wish to apply for financial assistance for your group to subsidise your travel expenses, please send a letter to the KCO Executive (c/- UC Events Office, GPO Box 2145 ADELAIDE 5001). Please specify why you need this assistance and how much you will be spending on travel, along with contact details for follow up.
