Creating a Theme Camp takes commitment and time. It can be hard work, but also rewarding. Blazing Swan’s Theme Camp Support Team is here to assist you and answer your questions. Contact them at themecamps@blazingswan.com.au.
HOW TO REGISTER YOUR THEME CAMP
You can get a link to an online Registration Form by emailing themecamps@blazingswan.com.au between mid-October and mid-December. Start filling in your Registration Form as soon as possible – there’s always less time than you think when it comes to getting ready to Blaze. Blazing Swan will review your Registration around mid-January and provisionally approve your Theme Camp’s appearance at the Blazing Swan event. Final approval to open to the public at the event at Easter will depend upon your Theme Camp meeting all the State and Local Government and Blazing Swan safety requirements. The Theme Camp Support Team will be there to help you tick all the necessary boxes.
As part of Registration your Theme Camp will be allocated a place in the Theme Camp zone of the event site and your Theme Camp details will be included in the event guide and map. Blazing Swan Incorporated provides a support package to Theme Camps each year which includes some assistance with tickets, transport, onsite services and extended access to the event site to set up and pack down your camp.
