2025 SURF CAMP INFORMATION
Academy Policies Please Read: We can not offer make up days based on weather, your child’s schedule, or waves (too big or too small). We hold the daily academy everyday. Once you book a week, you have taken that spot for the entire week ( 5 days). We are limited to how many spots per week per session we can have based on our permit. We turn away over 50 to 70 families a summer. We will offer credits for families who have medical or family emergencies for the following year. To be used by the same child only. Once payment is made you have taken a spot. Thanks for your understanding.
Wetsuits: We rent wetsuits for both adults and children that we professionally clean. Wetsuits are NOT included in the price just incase we have a warm week and your child does not need one. On the Monday of your Academy week you can rent the wetsuit for the week if needed. Wetsuits price: One Week (5 days, 3 hours a day camp rental only) $20.00. Once a wetsuit is rented it is your child’s rental for the week whether they use it or not. Meaning we cannot rent that wetsuit to anyone else during that time frame. So there are NO refunds. The rental will be on the beach daily when needed. If you do not rent the wetsuit and need one during the week, it may or may not be available. The safest thing to do is rent on Monday and its your students all week during camp time only. We take them back and professionally clean them daily.
Academy Schedule: This schedule is subject to change based on surfing conditions, weather, etc. We surf between 1 hour 40 minutes and 2 hours 10 minutes based on the conditions. You are paying for a surf academy, educated based program, group lessons and class education. One hour surf lessons cost $59.oo for a youth. The youth surf academy is placed into a package that includes more than surfing. We cannot control the waves and other activities will be substituted when needed. Our goal is to surf as much as we can.
