ABOUT OUR CAMP

Our Kids Surf Camp is available to students ages 8 - 15. Camp runs a total of three hours each day in which students will learn the fundamentals of surfing, as well as advanced techniques and skills for higher level surfers. As a result, these sessions are open to and cater to all levels of ability.

What a day at camp looks like:

• Upon arrival, surfers will be asked to apply sunscreen and put on their wetsuit or rashguard. The group will then gather for the opening activity- usually a fun game that gets everyone stoked for the day!

• Instructors will then go over water safety and analyze the waves, currents, tides, etc. in which we are experiencing that day. Surfers then pick their board for on-land practice which usually lasts about 10-15 minutes.

• Following on-land practice we head to the water and surf for just over an hour before taking our water/snack break.

• During break we go over the conditions and talk about each surfer’s gnarliest waves and set goals for our second round of surfing. If the waves are pumping we head straight back out to surf for the remainder of camp. If the group is feeling a longer break, we play games or do a beach clean up before our second round of surfing.

• About 10 minutes before parents arrive for pick up, we head back to the beach to return the boards, wetsuits, and clean the area. We end the day in a huddle, feeling totally stoked to get back to camp tomorrow!

What To Bring To Surf School:

To be fully prepared for the day, please bring your towel, sun screen, a change of clothes (if desired), a water bottle, and a snack.

Bringing Your Own Gear:

If you do not have your own gear, we will provide it for you. This includes wetsuits, leashes, and surfboards. If you prefer to bring your own board, it must be discussed and approved by the surf instructors.

OUr INSTRUCTORS and ratio:

All instructors are expert or high-level intermediate surfers that have a passion for teaching and coaching. All instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid or are trained lifeguards. All instructors undergo extensive training through Lucky Dog Surf School and are well versed in all surfing conditions. We always keep Student to Instructor Ratios of 4:1 or BETTER!

Inclement Weather/Conditions:

If we find that the surf is too big, and conditions are deemed unsafe to surf, surf school will be cancelled for that particular day. Surf sessions will remain open in the event of rain; however, if it is thundering or lightning, we will be closed and students may make up that particular day during the makeup week (see below). We will be sure to contact you by phone in the event of a cancellation.

Makeups for cancelled Camp Days:

We have a policy that allows one cancellation day per week due to inclement weather and/or dangerous surf conditions. In the event of a week that experiences multiple cancellations we will offer makeup sessions on the following days: 7/13, 7/14, 8/10 & 8/11 @ 7-10am. Because we offer 4 days of makeups in the event Lucky Dog cancels, we do not offer refunds or credits for campers unable to attend the make up day(s).

Flat Surf:

If the surf is flat, surf school will remain open. No refunds or rescheduling will be permitted. Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of perfect surf everyday. When the waves are flat we will work on skills that will strengthen our students' surfing abilities, such as paddling, balancing, as well as a multitude of other flat water skills needed for surfing.
