Halio School Camp Information

We are excited for our annual school camp! Here's everything you need to help your child prepare.

📍 Meeting Point & Travel

We will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Shell Petrol Station before traveling together to Pa La-U Waterfall for our day trip. Please note: there is no convenience store at the petrol station, so ensure you bring everything you need before arriving.
