Award outcome
Bronze Camp is the club's annual intensive pathway for the Bronze Medallion. It builds surf awareness, rescue skills, first aid, teamwork and the confidence needed to patrol local beaches.
The six-day December camp also includes the Surf Rescue Certificate stream for 13 and 14 year olds. Bronze candidates are expected to commit to at least one season of patrols, with about five rostered patrols per member.
