Keeping Kiwi kids safe at the beach for life

New Zealand is blessed with amazing beaches and coastlines, but every summer we see news headlines about what can go wrong. Our Surf Safety camps give Kiwi kids the gift of a safe and fun life on the water. Working in partnership, the YMCA is committed to teaching vital safety knowledge and skills in a beach environment that will deliver lifelong memories and experiences. YMCA has been hosting school camps for more than 100 years, and we’re excited to keep evolving just like the needs of Kiwis do.

Camps are delivered for a single class of students at a time only, allowing the programme to be customised for your unique needs and for you to spend time as a small group, benefitting from team building and connection while learning.

What's included

• 3-day, 2-night camp
• Four specialist beach safety education modules with professional instruction
• All activity equipment provided
• Shared accommodation in cabin-style bunkrooms
