Little Kids Surf Camp
(AGES 6-9)
Little kids surf camp offers a fun-filled introduction to surfing and ocean safety. With a focus on teaching the kids to react properly to ocean currents, waves, and how to read the ocean. The student to teacher ratio is 1 to 1 (avid swimmers may be paired 2 students to 1 instructor). All participants are swim tested to determine their current swim level.
Don’t fear, lessons are held in waist deep and shallower water, staying inside the breaking waves and pushing the campers into white water waves. Instructors are very experienced, and stabilize the surfboard while pushing them into waves to allow kids to stand up more easily and not get frustrated!! Special surfboards made of soft foam are used, the same material as a boogie board with a plastic bottom and plastic fins (much safer than typical fiberglass boards).
If ocean conditions are too rough, they will swim, boogie board, and play games on the beach- safety comes first!! They have a certified ocean lifeguard, and two staff members trained in first aid and CPR certified. After camp, your child will be more confident in their ocean skills, and demonstrate knowledge of ocean currents and how to properly react to them in the future.
Little Kids Surf Camp runs from 8:30 am until 11:00am Monday through Thursday. Camp includes surfboard, expert instruction, tent for shade, snacks and drinks, group photo, and an excellent course in ocean safety.
