Surfing is a nature-based activity. Wave conditions, tides, water temperature, and weather vary daily and are outside our control. Our goal is always to provide a safe, fun, and skill-building experience regardless of conditions.

Surf Camp Attendance & Participation
• No-shows, missed days, early pickups, or early exits are non-refundable and not credited

Weather & Ocean Conditions
Camp runs Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and is held rain or shine.
If ocean conditions are unsafe (such as strong rip currents or large surf), we provide educational and fun land-based activities, which may include:
• Instructor surf demos
• Ocean safety and rip current awareness
• Surf etiquette and technique
• Surf-themed art projects
• Fun beach games
If lightning or severe storms occur, that day of camp will be moved to our designated Friday make-up day.
No refunds, credits, or rescheduling are provided if in-water time is limited but camp is held.
We look forward to providing a safe, fun, and memorable experience for you and your family at the beach. Our team is committed to creating positive ocean experiences, building confidence in the water, and helping every participant leave with great memories and new skills.
