What is the Adult to Youth/Child Ratio at Summer Revo Camp?
In accordance with Equippers Auckland Group Adult-to-Youth/Child Ratio policy the following ratio’s apply:
For youth 13-17 years (Year 9-13) the ratio is 1:10 (1 adult per 10 youth).
An adult is someone over the age of 18yrs and has been police vetted.
For 12 year old’s the ratio ranges from 1:10 to 1:3 depending on whether the activities are indoors or outdoors and also taking into consideration the risk of the activity.
In all circumstances when swimming, the ratio will reduce considerably. Swimming in Lake will only take place in swimming spots designated by the Local Council and are deemed safe. If swimming takes place at the pools, lifeguards will be supervising.
