​WHAT ARE THE AGES?

4-8 beach camp w/surfing, 8-17 surf camp, 8-17 surf club, 8-14 Junior Guard Prep. 

Lessons all ages

 

WILL MY TEENAGER FIT IN?

the bulk of our surf camps are 8-12 but about 10% are teenagers and they are grouped together.  Our Surf Club however is mostly teenagers but they need to be able to paddle out on their own.

 

WHAT IF I HAVE NEVER SURFED BEFORE?

That is why you chose us!  Our surf instructors will teach all levels whether beginner or experienced

 

DO I NEED MY OWN EQUIPMENT AND WETSUIT?

We provide boards & wetsuits but you can bring your own.  We recommend minimum 8' soft board for beginners but if you are more advanced and want to bring your board please do!  For surf camp, you can bring a soft board or boogie board if your child does not want to share. (we are not responsible for any damages to personal belongings). 

 

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS SEPARATION ANXIETY?

This typically only happens when parents stick around.  Our staff is able to help every child overcome their fears and feel comfortable at our camps once the parent leaves.

 

WILL THEY GROUP FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOGETHER?

We automatically group friends and family together—no need to request it!

PARENT VISITS

We kindly ask that parents do not stay during camp. Kids do best without performance pressure, and it can be disruptive and confusing if kids are with you and do not stay in the group. Thanks for understanding!

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

We love surfing in the rain unless lightening or heavy rains.  If the conditions do not permit, we will reschedule your lesson or camp for the same year.  Some storms last only 20-30 minutes and we keep kids safe in a sheltered area until parents pick up or until the beach is back open when it passes.

We still hold camp.  We supplement with beach games and do smaller groups in the water if safe enough.  No refunds or changes due to weather conditions unless we are forced to make that change.
