How to sign up
To register your child’s position, you will need to complete a few simple steps. Begin by filling out the online registration form with your child’s details, followed by reviewing and signing the release form. The university holds an insurance policy. You will then be asked to upload a recent photo of your child for identification purposes, this is why registration is inside a Google form, as we have a dedicated space here that is not publicly accessible. After you will be taken to the UCX page to pay (this is a public website with a secure hosting for financial transactions).
Finally, Sept 25th download the information kit (we will email it out as well), which contains all the important details you’ll need to prepare for the camp. Once these steps are complete, you’ll be excited and ready for the adventure to begin—start your registration below.

How to Get Here
We have looked and there is no great pick-up location on campus. Sorry.
You need to come inside and sign out your child. Only those people listed at registered can pick up their child. Please register parents or any extra guardians, just in case as we can not accept last minute names added last minute, as a safety concern.
Camp runs 8:30am – 3:30pm
Drop off is 8-8:30 and pick up is 3:30-4pm. Please note we charge $25/30 minutes late fee after 4pm to pay the staff for staying to supervisor your child.
After Camp Activities (Available Oct 2nd)
Curiosity is where the magic begins—it’s the spark that gets ideas flowing and imaginations running wild. When children are encouraged to ask “what if?” and “why not?”, they unlock a world of creative possibilities. In the after camp activities kids are encouraged to embrace their curiousity and push beyond into a new dimension of discovery. Learn more about our after camp activities here.
FAQ
Do I Need to sign the ethics form to send my kid?
No
Why do we need to upload a photo?
We use the photo of your child to ensure their safety and security. In the case of an emergency we will share the photo with our security team at the university so that we can resolve the issue quickly and efficiently. Photos will be stored on the University of Canberra server, inside a double secure system, and will only be used for the purpose of identification. These will not be available to volunteers or university administration.
Does someone on site have first aid qualifications?
Yes
Allergies
We try our best, but can not guarantee what is on campus/ kids may be in contact with. Please indicate any allergy concerns in the relevant field on the registration form.
What do I do in the case of an emergency?
Call the OPS office (+61 2 6201 5111 and they will find the Discover-E Camp on campus for you)
Important to note:
- You need to come inside and sign out your child. Only the person who is listed as registered can pick up their child. Please register all guardians, just in case.
- You cannot remove your child without signing them out.
- Children need to be collected by 4pm, (3:30-4pm pickup) failure to do so will incur a $25 late pick up fee for each 30 minutes to cover the cost of extended supervision.
