Trevor Barker Surf Camp

When VFL/AFL legend Trevor Barker passed away from cancer in 1995, his friends and supporters honoured his legacy of helping children living with cancer by forming the Trevor Barker Foundation.

For over three decades, the Challenge Surf Camp has been a highlight for our teenage members, and for the past two decades, we’ve been fortunate to have the Foundation as its major sponsor.

Now known as the Trevor Barker Surf Camp, this weekend retreat is dedicated to membered aged 13 -18.

Held annually in the coastal paradise of Lorne, the camp is packed with non-stop action! Teens can catch their first waves with the expert team from Go Ride A Wave, dive into surf lifesaving sessions with the legendary Lorne SLSC, and ramp up the adrenaline with thrilling water sports on the Barwon River, thanks to the Barwon Ski Club. It’s a weekend where the whole community comes together to make the magic happen, ensuring every moment is full of excitement and adventure!

Surf Camp is a chance for our teens to embrace the thrill of surfing and all the freedom that comes with it. It’s an invaluable opportunity for them to build confidence, gain independence, and take a much-needed break from the challenges of living with cancer.

Come along and enjoy a wonderful weekend away! Applications will close Monday, 11 November.
