2025 Kids Surf Camp

Each day at North Beach Surf Camp is designed for safety, learning, and nonstop fun at the beach. Here's what your child can expect from their day on the beach:

• Arrival & Warm-Up:
  Campers check in at the drop-off zone and walk to our beach tent. We start with sunscreen, hydration, a stretch circle, and a beach talk + safety briefing. Rash guards are handed out, and campers are grouped by age and skill level.
   
• Morning Session:
  For about 90 minutes, campers rotate between surfing and fun beach activities with their group and instructor.
   
• Midday Break:
  Everyone relaxes under the tents for 30 minutes to eat a snack, hydrate, reapply sunscreen, and chat with instructors about surf topics like wave knowledge and ocean safety.
   
• Afternoon Session:
  Campers head back out for another 60–75 minutes of surf time and beach games.
   
• Wrap-Up & Pick-Up:
  We finish with a final circle, return rash guards, and walk campers to the pick-up zone on Hathaway where staff stays until everyone is signed out.

Every camper receives hands-on, small-group surf instruction for to their age and ability. We meet kids where they’re at- whether it’s their first time surfing or they go everyday. Our camp goes beyond just riding waves. It’s a well-rounded program designed to help kids grow as surfers, teammates, and ocean lovers.

Here’s what our campers experience during their time with us- whether it’s for a day, a week, or all summer long:

• Proper Surf Technique – From paddling and pop-ups to stance and balance, we teach the building blocks of great surfing in a way that’s fun and easy to understand.
   
• Ocean Safety & Surf Etiquette – Campers learn how to stay safe in the ocean, how to navigate waves and currents, and how to share the lineup respectfully.
   
• Wave Reading & Timing – We help kids understand how waves form and break, and how to time their takeoffs to catch more waves on their own.
  
   
• Confidence Building – Our approach helps kids push past fear, try new things, and feel proud of themselves in and out of the water.
   
• Surf Culture & Environmental Respect – We share the stoke of surf culture while encouraging a love and respect for the ocean and beach environment.
   
• Community & Team Building – From relay races to beach cleanups and group challenges, we keep the vibe high-energy and community-focused.

We don’t just teach surfing. We build surf safety, self-esteem, and ocean awareness.
