The Victorian Government has not responded to the ABC's questions, but an operations guide for schools released by the Department of Education and Training on Wednesday said camps could resume and camp operators could take multiple school bookings but should minimise them when possible. It was a small lifeline that has kept their companies afloat. Organisers, crushed by two years of not being able to run camps, said they were facing the end of government business support payments when Victoria reopened at an 80 per cent vaccination rate.
