Friday 5 December – Sunday 7 December
When VFL/AFL legend Trevor Barker lost his battle with cancer in 1995, his friends honoured his generous spirit by founding the Trevor Barker Foundation – a legacy that continues to bring joy to children living with cancer today.
For over 30 years, the Challenge Surf Camp has been a much-loved highlight for our teenage members, and for the past two decades, the Trevor Barker Foundation has proudly powered this unforgettable weekend by the sea.
Now known as the Trevor Barker Surf Camp, this epic getaway invites members aged 13-18 to soak up the sun, surf, and freedom of beautiful Lorne.
Get ready for non-stop adventure – from catching your first wave with the crew at Go Ride A Wave, diving into surf lifesaving sessions with the iconic Lorne SLSC, to high-speed thrills on the Barwon River with the Barwon Ski Club. Every splash, laugh, and wipeout is made possible by the incredible community that rallies together to create this one-of-a-kind weekend.
Surf Camp isn’t just about hanging ten – it’s about building confidence, making friends, and embracing independence. For many, it’s a much-needed break from the challenges of cancer, and a chance to rediscover the joy of being a teenager.
Come along and enjoy a wonderful weekend away! Applications will close Monday, 17 November.
