Are you ready for the most fun week of the summer?

At our Kids Camp your child will learn how to surf while making new friends, building confidence, and spending meaningful time in nature. We teach essential surf skills through a playful, game-based approach in the water—so learning to surf feels more like summer camp and less like school. Your child will learn and play all under the guidance of a veteran teacher and a staff of fun, young coaches who are stoked on working with your child!

Each day will start with a fun on land game that is designed to teach an in water skill.  This is followed up by an in water surf session where we practice that skill on some of the most consistent kid friendly waves in New England.  Your child will be under the guidance of our super fun, stoked coaches in groups of 5 or less.

After our in water time, we’ll take a quick lunch break underneath our tents to get a little time out of the sun.  After campers are finished eating we’ll have fun games to play right on the beach. Think Spike Ball, Capture the flag and more! These games will warm everyone up for our second in water session.
