A carefully arranged plan for a loosely organised weekend.
The programme below has been prepared with good intentions and a reasonable concern for timing. Please follow it with enthusiasm, poise, and a small tolerance for charming deviations.
The Opening Night

The Main Event
Saturday is yours to enjoy the campsite, the dam, and the general pleasure of being slightly overdressed at a campsite for a mildly important gathering.
A light breakfast offering will be available in the morning for guests who wish to emerge early.
Breakfast
09:00 - 11:00
11:00 - 16:00
Likely buns. Possibly similar. Definitely not a hotel buffet.
Free Time
Swim, nap, read, wander, paddle, socialise, or introvert. The choice is yours.
Assembly
16:00 - 16:30
16:30 - 17:00
Guests begin gathering for the ceremony.
Ceremony
Please be seated and ready by 16:30 sharp — our commitment to relaxed timing will be temporarily suspended.
17:00 - 18:00
Drinks & Photos
Speeches & Dinner
18:00 - 21:00
Drinks, snacks, photos, and golden-hour loitering.
A small collection of words from a few individuals, followed by food, drinks, and highly dignified table conversation.
21:00 - Late
Dancing
The formalities end, the dance floor opens, and composure begins its gradual decline.

Wake up slowly, pack your things, say your goodbyes, and check under the bed for stray socks, chargers, children, emotional support snacks, and other weekend debris.
10:00
Checkout
Camp Gordon closes its doors. Our one-off camp for wayward guests comes to an end, and the gentle return to civilisation begins.
