PARENTS AND KIDS SURF CAMPS

Want to learn to surf with your kids in fun filled day surf camp experiences? Join our midweek series of camps for parents (Mom, Dad or both) and their young kids, ages 6 to 12 years, on July 18-20, 2023.  

We chose midweek to avoid the busyness both in the waves with excessive weekend surfer traffic and to avoid the difficulty of finding parking on weekends at Seaside Cove and State Park beach locations. You can book one, two or all three days of camps for your family. All students must attend the first day of camp, and then can opt in for additional second and/or third days of camps. You will have the option of one, two or three days of camps at Active.com online registration when you book your space. Parents will book their dates, then register separately for children at Active.com registration. Times each day are 9 to 3, 11-3 and 11-3.
