Day Surf Camps

Check off “Learn to Surf” from your bucket list and sample an amazing day of NW surfing in our Day Surf Camps!  Your day’s fun adventure will unfold as follows:

  • For 2023 Day Surf Camp, our camp Photographer RJ Sweet will shoot the wave session and a fun group shoot during the camp experience. Photos will be shared in galleries in the fall on Pic-Time, where you can enjoy, print and share them.
  • From your sizing listed on your registration form, shop rental staff will pre-bag student’s gear and the Director will deliver to the camp meetup for students.
  • Students will be emailed meetup location prior to the camp event.
  • Morning beach Amrita Mindfulness Yoga on a beautiful NW Pacific beach location each day. Learn asanas (poses) that will relax your bodies and minds so your inner focus is keener to surf.
  • Learn how to read a tide table to figure out the best surf window for your beginner level of surfing. Understand how wind direction and wind speed can inform you on where and when to go surfing.
  • During the on-beach surf lesson, you’ll be taught the 12 essential surfing skills with the layers of understanding to prepare you on land, before entering the water to catch waves with them.
  • We’ll break for a delicious and nutritious catered organic lunch which will fuel up even the hungriest surf chick. Two choices for the day’s lunch.
  • Suit up and head out into the waves with your surf coaches for the day’s water session. Empowered with your new surf skills on land, now it’s time to paddle for your first wave and “pop up”.
  • All surf and wetsuit equipment for day of camp. Equipment transportation included.
  • Wrap up your day of camp with a choice of NWWSC tee-shirt or tank top and partner’s goodie bag as your souvenirs.
  • Last but not least, create a new “surf sistership” that connects you with your old friends and new friends who’ve shared this awesome day of fun together…hooting each other the whole way!
