SURF CAMPS FOR YOUR SCHOOL
Australian Surf Tours’ School Surf Camps are exclusively run for your school. They are usually 2 days and 2 nights in duration, however we are flexible to your schools’ needs and can put together a bespoke program for your school’s needs. Our School Surf Camps will take the children 3 hours south of Sydney where Australian Surf Tour’s friendly and professional team will show everyone to their camp accommodation, erected at the North-end of Bendalong Beach. From here we will introduce them to the essence of surfing as we know it. Living on the beach, enjoying the outdoors with friends, swimming in rockpools, music, campfires and freedom. We will also introduce the kids to some of Australia’s unique wildlife and some one-on-one experiences that they will not get anywhere else. Kangaroos will be hopping around their tents in the morning, possums will come down at night looking for a free meal, and we will take the children to hand-feed giant stingrays in the bay. There’s also a good chance they will be surfing alongside dolphins and at the right time of year massive humpback whales can be seen breaching off the point.

“Voted as Sydney’s BEST surf camp” Trip Advisor
The one camp I look forward to attending every year!
“I’ve been fortunate enough to take some incredible students from my high school to a camp run by Australian surf tours for two years now. Each year the students return to school having had the best three days and rave about the camp long after. Sam and his team are the some of the most incredible people you will meet and take care of your every need and desire. The team not only instructs the students and teachers on how to surf but also gives them incredible experiences such as feeding giant stingray, jumping in rock pools, seeing some incredible wildlife and also give the students knowledge on the surfing environment. The camp itself is set up so well and the entire process from a teachers’ and schools’ point of view is simple and easy. It’s one of very few camps you can attend as a teacher where you have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the time you spend with your students. This truly is the one camp I look forward to attending each and every year and can’t wait to come back again next year.”

AST Camp Location
Your school will be visiting the following spectacular location:
1. Bendalong - 3.5hrs sth of Sydney
Around 220kms south of Sydney, on NSW’ pristine South Coast region, and hidden by a highway and a mountain range is the beautiful little seaside village of Bendalong. It takes about 2.5 hours by car from Sydney, a little more by bus and about 4 weeks if you want to walk. It is known by most Sydney-siders that surf, but by nobody from anywhere else. What gives Bendalong its charm is the fact that its so close to Sydney, but barely anyone goes there. It’s surrounded by a National Park to the West so there is a lot of Australian Wildlife, and to the East.. well.. 6 of the most beautiful beaches and epic waves you’ll find anywhere on earth. You see Bendalong is stuck out in the ocean on a Peninsular that used to be called ‘Red Head’. To the North there is the tranquil beach called Washerwomans that is absolutely perfect for learning. South of the point is Bendalong main beach which has perfect A-Frame style beach breaks right along it and catches almost every piece of swell that the ocean dishes up. Further South again (3 mins drive) is arguably the most beautiful beach of all. Conjola Beach sits at the entrance of Lake Conjola which glistens on sunset and is a beach break for all levels. But the main attraction at this location is Green Island and its very tasty 500 metre long left hand point break! Perfect walls that run forever and one of the South Coast’s hidden treasures. Woops.. maybe I shouldn’t have said….
