Being a med nerd doesn’t mean you stop having fun…
O-Camp is fast approaching and that means that soon a bus load of Newcastle first years will be heading up to Port Macquarie as soon as they escape their first Opening PBL.

When: Friday 5th March- Sunday 5th March
Where: Port Macquarie (Buses depart from the Uni)
Price: Early bird special $85 (Normal price $100) – includes buses, beachside accommodation, all meals, full weekend of activities

FRIDAY: After we arrive in Port Macquarie and do all the boring admin stuff, like checking we left nobody behind at the service station that we stopped at, the mentors and you, the first years, will be able to chat and relax after your first week of stress. You will then meet your UNE brothers and sisters, the armadillos – trust me, they know how to throw a party.

SATURDAY: You will see the competitive edge that defines all medical students appear as we set you through a set of activities to see which group comes out supreme and is treated like royalty for the 30 seconds following the event.
That afternoon we will let you prove how you are younger and fitter than your mentors. Our goal is to make you more relaxed than you will ever be in the following five years. That Saturday evening we let you loose on Port Macquarie, with a few secret activities planned for that night.

SUNDAY: As you wake up we will provide a delicious breakfast and then slowly get ready to leave the wonderful Port Macquarie behind, until next year when you beg to become O-Camp mentors so you can experience it all over again.
