Summer Surf Camps

Fun, safe, and educational surfing programs for children and teens (ages 5-17).  Our surf camps run all summer long (Monday – Friday).  We have By the Day or By the Week options.  Aqua Surf hires and trains positive role models for our camp team.  This helps us empower campers to gain greater confidence, build lifelong skills, and create treasured memories.

Our instructors tailor the experience based on the needs of each individual camper, while maintaining a group/family-style atmosphere.  We invite and are able to accommodate everyone from complete beginners to kids and teens learning to surf at a pro-level.  Aqua Surf is dedicated to the highest safety practices and personalized attention for each camper.

  • The ocean and weather can be unpredictable. We find conditions favorable 95% of the time. In that rare case when conditions are very poor our beach captain implements back-up protocols. Usually we are able to work around challenging surf/weather conditions, but our priority is to always maintain a safe and fun experience.

  • AQUA SURF surf camps are tax deductible.
  • Extended Care available from 8am-9am and 3:00pm-5:00pm. The cost is $40 per child, per hour (we offer packages of credits to help make the price affordable).

Beach Activities/Games

There is never a dull moment at AQUA Surf Camp. We aim to spend as much time surfing and in the ocean as possible, but we do have other activities available. Time spent on the sand is easily made exciting and memorable by playing beach games. Examples of our beach games include capture the flag, happy-ball, soccer, volleyball, sandcastle building, etc. We offer activities/games that are inclusive to campers of all ages, but participation is not required.

Ready To Ride the Waves?

We try to encourage everyone to have fun, let loose, and be themselves.  However it’s especially important for young people to learn surfing and water safety skills in a protected environment.  With this combination, our camps are an experience they will cherish forever.
