Camp Surf is all about sun, sand, and surf — and giving kids the confidence to take on the ocean. It’s a lively beach program where every day brings a mix of learning, laughter, and adventure. The atmosphere feels more like a big beach family than a traditional camp.
Each camper gets personal attention thanks to the camp’s 4-to-1 student-to-instructor ratio, so no one gets lost in the crowd. The program welcomes boys and girls age 7 and up, from total beginners to those already comfortable on a board. Instructors are CPR and First-Aid certified, experienced surfers, and genuinely great with kids.
Mornings kick off with safety briefings and warm-up games before campers paddle out to practice in small, supportive groups. As the week goes on, kids learn how waves form, how to spot rip currents, and how to read the ocean like seasoned surfers. There’s plenty of time for play too — beach games, snack breaks, and goofy team moments are part of the daily rhythm.
By the end of the session, kids stand taller, surf better, and gain a real sense of accomplishment. What sets Camp Surf apart is its balance of structure and freedom: the instruction is serious, but the vibe is pure beach fun. For kids who love the ocean, crave movement, and thrive on encouragement, it’s a week that stays with them long after the sand is gone from their shoes.
