Waves Surf School • Bronte 2024 •4.9(View 359 reviews)Overview
- These Summer Holidays Waves are running their EPIC day trip Surf Camps.
As well as an amazing day outdoors and away from devices, moving, running, laughing and having fun, here's what else is included on a Waves Surf Camp.
*Surf Coaching (all levels) *Boards & Wetsuits (if required) *Transport return Bronte OR Ramsgate *Lunch and snacks
TIMES - 8:30am-4:00pm
WAVES KIDS DAY CAMPS - SUITABLE FOR 9-14 years
The primary focus of the camp is teaching and improving surfing. Depending on the conditions on the days of the camp, there may also be some onland surf sessions (on Smoothstar Skate Boards), Skate boarding / scootering and other adventure activities.
WHERE WE GO
Trips are run at Boat Harbour Park - a private access beach 40mins south of Bronte. The waves are crowd free, ensuring more safety in the water. On days where conditions are too big, the Waves team have some secret surf spots that they go to, ensuring the day can still run.
HOW WE GET THERE
Leaving from Bronte, kids are transported in the Waves Bus - a Toyota Coaster.
LUNCH
FRUIT & LUNCH PROVIDED - Beach BBQ, sandwiches & fruit are on the menu.
THE SURFING
Open to all levels, from first time groms to gnarly carvers, kids will come home with a bag of new skills. Lessons will be given on the beach, in the waves (and some days at the skatepark).
*Surf and water safety *Reading the waves, rips & banks *Duck diving & eskimo roles *Board retrieval & recovery *Wipeout techniques
RAINY DAYS & MAJOR WEATHER EVENTS
We operate on rainy days! (We're getting wet anyways, right?) We build a cozy shelter to protect the group from the elements - sun, rain, wind - as safety & comfort are priorities. In the case of HUGE Surf conditions - we know a number of protected spots that allow us to run safely in most conditions - decisions to cancel the event due to weather will be made on the morning of each camp.
*A minimum of 6 students required to run.

Such a fun way to spend the holidays- my daughter has done 2 camps now and has had a ball. The Waves crew have such positive energy and I think really bring out the best in the kids.

My son had an awesome experience and was super happy after a fun day out surfing with like-minded kids. What do you want more for them than being out in nature and enjoy themselves!

Highly recommend Waves Surf School for kids. My son loves the holidays camps. We’ve returned a few times. He was a reluctant surfer at the start and now very confident on his board.

My 12 yo had an awesome time. The organisation was pretty slick, communication was excellent and bad weather options were enjoyable! I think my son is angling for a camping trip next!
Hi Alison, the next overnight camp will be in the Winter Holidays. (The odd easter weekend interrupted this holiday's option!) We hope he can join out day trips over Autumn though.

Great experience! My kids attended a 2-day surf camp and absolutely loved it.
One of the days was perfect, gorgeous weather and the next was a crazy storm with hard rain and wind, and they loved both days.
Deano is a great instructor, and seems to know just what each kid needs to both learn and enjoy themselves. And he makes a great lunch to boot!

Love the day trip. This experience is wayyyyyyyy beyond my expectations.
I’ll recommend this trip for several reasons;
Professional coaching: Deano is such a fun person and experienced coach. The beach and waves are really nice. I’m so happy I was able to pop up by the end of the day.
Nice group vibe: I meet a group of lovely people during this Journey and had the happiest day of my Sydney visit. It was great chat and some bit of music and guitar.
Convenience: the trip offers pickup , wet suits, lunch and water, so you don’t really need to prepare a lot.

My 9 year old son and his friends attended a 2 day Waves camp in the Jan 2024 school hols and absolutely LOVED it. Dean and Sarah are lovely, and the kids obviously felt really comfortable with them and caught lots of waves. Having food provided was fabulous - it was something different for the kids, they liked the food and it was a break for me from packed lunches! Win,win! The kids even loved the car trips which seemed to involve enthusiastic karaoke sessions. Thanks Dean and Sarah.

Did the full day Waves Adult Surf School at Boat Harbour Cronulla.
Awesome day last Sat with Deano. Great mix of instruction and activities in the waves. Easily exceeded my expectations on all fronts. Very cool beach, good equipment and solid learning. Most importantly it was a heap of fun. Deano is a real character and very funny.
