Calling all QBC Groms.
The annual QBC Grom Camp @ Tiona Holiday Park is on again in 2023.
Dates: Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th September (This is the only weekend in the calendar where Tiona could host us, and weekend NSW Surfing appears to have no events planned. So let’s go.
Location: Tiona Holiday Park, Pacific Palms. 02 6554 0290
Surfing Session Schedule: Session 1 Saturday 7.30am, Session 2 Saturday afternoon tbc on the day. Session 3 Sunday 8.00am.
RSVP: Please reply to this email or send an email to [email protected] to let me know you are coming. We need this to work out final costs for the camp and to arrange food for the Saturday morning after session 1.
The camp consists of 2 surf sessions on Day 1 (session 1 usually starts around 7.30am), and a morning session on Day 2, with the club putting on some food and drink in between the Saturday sessions, and the mob funneling through the Pacific Palms Rec club for dinner on Friday and Saturday night. Our club coach Gezza will be there, as will other coaches from the club to maximise the footage and coaching from every session. This has been a highlight of the QBC Grom calendar and we encourage as many groms to come along and be part of a great club weekend. See the dates, location and details for booking accommodation below. There will be a small cost for each surfer to attend the camp, and the club does have some sponsorship to help cover some of the costs of the coaches and food. If you are keen and would like to come to the best Grom camp in the world, then see details below. If you have questions please email me and I will do my best to answer quickly.
Accommodation:
Tiona Park Holiday Park have advised that they have a very busy wedding season in September and October so accommodation is tight. They have put aside all of the Lodge Rooms, which have beds for 2, 4 and 6 guests and these can be booked by calling them directly on 02 6554 0290 and letting them know you are with the QBC group. This accommodation will be held for the club for 3 weeks only! All other accommodation in the Tiona Holiday Park, such as cabins, camp sites etc can be booked through their website www.tiona.com.au or by calling them directly. Book early to get space at Tiona!
Tiona staff require that all groms are lodged in a room with full parental supervision. That means there are no communal rooms with just the groms and all groms need to be in rooms with a parent… no exceptions.
There is alternate accommodation options around the area, such as Moby’s Beachside Retreat at Boomerang Beach, and holiday rentals in the area. It is the weekend before the school holidays so there are plenty of options outside of the Tiona Holiday Park if that is more suitable to your family needs.
