This survey is for the students that attended the recent RYPEN camp from Friday 22-24 April in Yeppoon.
The questions will ask about your experience. This information will assist us in understanding if the camp has helped or made a change in your thinking on leadership and personal growth.
All responses are anonymous and we ask you to create an 8 digit number, using the first 4 digits of your birth date (day and month) and the last 4 digits of your mobile number:
Eg: birthday 2 May 2002 – 02/05/2002 and mobile number 0406 952 687 = 0205 2687
