BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort’s annual Camp and sCare has delivered another sell-out weekend of community fun, raising $14,564.35 for Meals on Wheels Proserpine.
The resort’s 22nd annual Camp and sCare is one of the region’s longest-running charitable events, bringing local and visiting families together for a packed program of creative costumes and community fundraising, with all event profits donated to Meals on Wheels Proserpine.
This year’s theme was Halloween spirit, transforming campsites and cabins with spooky decorations.
Ghost train rides, Halloween biscuit decorating, face painting, night spotting and an outdoor movie were among the activities on the schedule.
Saturday began with Monster Pancakes by the Pool, followed by trick-or-treat bag making, Halloween masks, Whitsunday Wildlife encounters and a swim with Hannah the Mermaid.
BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort CEO Phil Casey said the event’s enduring appeal came from the enthusiasm of guests and the opportunity to support a local cause.
“Every year, our guests put so much effort into Camp and sCare, from their costumes and cabin and campsite decorations, to joining in the activities and supporting the fundraising,” Mr Casey said.
On Monday, the resort team gave the cheque for $14,564.35 to Christine O’Sullivan, President of Meals on Wheels Proserpine, this year’s sole charity beneficiary.
The funds were raised through the donation of 100 per cent of the proceeds from all Friday night campsite bookings, along with gold coin donations from activities throughout the weekend.
“This wonderful support will help Meals on Wheels Proserpine immensely, particularly with the continuing rise in food purchasing costs and the general upkeep of our premises and delivery vehicle,” Ms O’Sullivan said.
