Collaroy Centre staff run a variety of beach games, including flags, Frisbee, Soccer, Touch Football, Volleyball, and Sand Castle Challenges.

The entire group is involved in the activity, whether designing, building or paddling the raft. Note: The participant who paddles the raft will be required to have swimming ability and will be wearing a life jacket. Students are required to wear shoes at all times.
