This Surf Camp session is designed for surfers in grades 4th-8th (9-13 years old). These surf camp sessions can be for the absolute beginner to the more advanced and independent young surfer. Surfers are encouraged to bring their own equipment – fiberglass and epoxy boards are allowed! We can help your surfer get better at using their chosen vehicle. If your student doesn’t have their own equipment yet, we can get you set up with our equipment, and eventually help your surfer choose a permanent new member of your family (a surfboard is likely to become your child’s baby). Every Surf Academy program is executed with rigorous safety standards and proven teaching methods.

This Junior Lifeguards–styled program is designed to teach ocean safety and an in-depth proficiency of ocean and beach skills. This includes swimming, physical conditioning, first aid, rescue techniques, and awareness of tides, waves, rip currents, and other ocean activity. Each day includes a buoy swim or a paddle, and breaks for surfing when the waves turn on. These sessions are designed to help students become more proficient and well-rounded water people, and ultimately enhance their surfing. These sessions are a "pre-season" requirement for all returning/current/prospective samohi surf team members. **students need to be able to swim the length of a 25 yard pool and tread water for 2 minutes. Price includes rashguard uniform.

Beach Kids are all about ocean socialization for the youngest among us! We teach 5-8 year olds to love the ocean through learning skills that emphasize age appropriate ocean safety and awareness. Beach Kids play sand games, learn about local sea life, learn how to identify rip currents, measure wave height, and how ocean tides work. Children are encouraged to safely explore their comfort zone in the sea by jumping over waves, bodyboarding, and surfing!
We strongly suggest that any participant have a background in swimming/possess “pool smarts,” i.e. knows how to hold their breath before going under water and can float on their back. Our ratio is 1 instructor: 4 children when on/at shore and 1:1 when surfing. This means every session has two trained instructors working with your precious ones. Every Surf Academy program is executed with rigorous safety standards and proven teaching methods. Class must have a minimum of 5 micro-groms to commence for the week.
