Summer Surf Camp Info
Ages
Our program is designed primarily for males and females ages 5 to 18, but we can accomodate almost any age. We have had several campers in their 30's who have enjoyed the camp and learned to surf along with the kids. We have also offered special days for moms and/or dads by request.
Camp Activities
In addition to instruction in surfing and related ocean sports, our activities will include:
- beach and ocean games
- education in ocean safety and awareness and marine biology
- lessons in surf etiquette
- competitive pointers
- plenty of fun on the beautiful beaches of Port Aransas and Galveston Island State Park (on the west end of the island near Jamaica Beach)
Visiting instructors may include representatives of the Surfrider Foundation and the Texas Gulf Surfing Association.

Each Friday we have a free pizza party at lunch and special closing activities.

What to Bring
- lunch in a cooler (**or order at check-in**)
- backpack or beach bag with name
- sunscreen
- towel
- wear your swim suit to camp
It is a great idea to write your name on your belongings. Our unclaimed lost and found collection is donated to charitable organizations at the end of each season, but parents would probably prefer to see these items return home!
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT EACH CAMPER WEAR A RASH GUARD (Lycra stretch shirt designed to be worn in the water). This helps to prevent sunburn and rashes that can develop on skin exposed to the surfboard surface. We have a limited supply available for sale at camp and can give you information on local stores where they can be purchased.
