Over the last weekend of school holidays, 33 nippers from the North Barrier Branch descended on the Ayr Surf Club to take part in the annual Camp Alva. This camp is designed for Under 12 and 13 members to work on leadership and team building skills and experience different aspects of the Lifesaving movement that they can progress into over the coming years.

The participants and assistants at Camp Alva 2024, Ayr Surf Lifesaving Club’s annual camp, undertook an Around Alva Adventure race, completing tasks at stations to gain clues, various team building activities, tie-dying, surf sports and other activities.
Everyone had a great time and the current Under 12s are looking forward to returning next year, while the Under 13s will be progressing onto the Branch award camp in September to gain their Surf Rescue Certificate.
The youth members of clubs around the branch are still in training for State Titles held on the Gold Coast in March.
