About Bronze Camp
Bronze Camp is not only the perfect way to become a fully qualified Surf Life Saver, but it’s also a great way to meet new friends. The week long live-in camp held in December is a fun, challenging way to experience an introduction to Surf Life Saving. It is open for applicants aged 15 years and over and as a Surf Life Saving Victoria pre-requisite a swim of 400m must be completed in 9 minutes.
Although it does require a certain amount of fitness, we encourage all to apply. But please be aware it’s essential that all applicants are confident in ocean swimming, as a lot of time will be spent in the water daily. The week entails early mornings, strenuous physical activity and challenging theory work.
At the completion of the camp candidates are expected to attend a minimum of 5 – 6 rostered patrols, the annual Door Knock appeal, Mountain to Surf and Pier to Pub as helpers. Preference for entry into the camp is given to members that have previously been involved in the nippers or cadet programs.
