The department says the principal's planning of the trip was poor as she did not obtain approval from the department ahead of the trip.
Sharing their recommendations, the department is calling for disciplinary action against the suspended school principal and only her.
They've also recommenced that the non-governmental organization, Rising Stars Generation, who organised the camp should be reported to the Department of Social Development.
