SOCIAL

• Relationships - positive relationships and social connections were developed between the participants themselves, between participants and instructors, and participants and the wider surfing community.
• Relationships - participants were encouraged by the instructors to support each other – this created a safe space to learn and improve their surfing skills.
• Collaboration - the ‘camp style’ program provided opportunity for participants to work collaboratively on tasks such as cooking, cleaning and during ‘free time’.

“I loved being in the water and knowing everyone around me was encouraging me and also having lots of fun.”(Participant – 13 years)
