Overview

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.

Accommodation and Meals

Meals

Camp Surf keeps things simple when it comes to meals. Each camper should bring a packed lunch or extra snacks from home — it’s a classic beach-day setup. Kids are active all day in the sun, so bringing plenty of water is a must.

Between surf sessions, campers take short breaks under the beach tents to rest, hydrate, and refuel. Water bottles, fruit, and light snacks work perfectly for these moments. There’s no cafeteria or meal service on-site, which gives families full control over food choices and any dietary needs.

Safety

Safety is a top priority at Camp Surf. All instructors are CPR and First-Aid certified, experienced surfers, and trained lifeguards who know the local conditions well.

The camp uses soft-top surfboards for beginners and includes lessons on wave reading, rip currents, and ocean awareness. Small group sizes ensure close supervision both in the water and on the sand. Parents looking for a surf camp with strong safety standards and careful oversight will find Camp Surf reassuring and dependable.
