Participants will be challenged in a number of ways by completing problem solving tasks, trust and teamwork exercises. They will gain an exclusive insight into Life Saving Victoria (LSV) and develop a state-wide network of friends.

Former Participant Quote ‘I enjoyed meeting new people from different clubs because we don’t have much of an opportunity to socialise with other club members. I learnt that things will only get done if everyone is actively involved and has a positive attitude towards the activity’ (Louise Smith, Woolamai Beach SLSC, 2015 camp participant) Promotion To assist with promotion, the LSV Promotional Flyer and You Tube Video is available below for viewing (also on the LSV website), please place printed copies of the flyer around your clubhouse – http://www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/resources/documents/2016_U15_Camp_Flyer.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq9AVms0WFg&feature=colike
