2024 Summer Camp
May 27 – August 9
Kids Ages 7-16 look forward to our Daytona Beach Surf Camp all year long. We are a surf school that grew up surfing in Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet. Our core values are instilled in our kids as we enhance their surfing skills, knowledge of their ocean environment, and surfing etiquette; especially when surfing crowded surf locations. Talk to any kid or parent that has ever been in our camp and see what they have to say. Our kids have a blast, meet new friends, and make memories at our summer camp! No other camp compares to the level of fun that is achieved at Pure Life Surf School.
A surfer’s style is the same as their fingerprint, no one person having the exact same fingerprint. Each surfer has a unique set of abilities that differ from one another. Our summer program is tailored to your surfer, based on his/her surfing experience. Our program combines verbal coaching in and out of the water, demonstration of maneuvers, and individual surfing critiques.

Groups & Placement
We do separate our kids into different levels and groups depending on their age and ability. Each week we have a new set of surfers and we change our groups accordingly. We select groups on Mondays.
NOTE: We can accommodate kids that want to be in the same group as their friends or family.
Fear Factor
Some surfers’ comfort levels vary. We always make sure our surfers are safe and comfortable. We generally have small waves all summer, and would never put our surfers in dangerous ocean surf. We feel our surfers out on the first day of camp. If a camper feels intimidated, we will make sure they are put into a group of their peers with the same comfort levels.
Bad Weather
In case a thunderstorm pops up and or lightening is near, we take shelter under the main pavilion at the park. In case of anticipated bad weather such as a tropical storm we will cancel camp. A text message and email will be sent the night before. A make-up day will be issued to be used for any day during the summer. (Summer Camp) We take shelter at The Shores Resort and Spa in a safe covered location inside the resort. We are constantly checking the radar and forecast to make sure our campers are always safe.
Required Uniform Rash Guard
Our uniform rash guards are bright neon green, This allows us to easily identify all of our campers at all times. Kids receive their uniform rash-guard on Monday when they start camp. Rash-guards are $25 and can be paid for when signing your surfer up online or on Monday morning. Kids keep their rash-guards and they can be used for other weeks.
Lunch Time
Parents pack lunch Monday to Thursday. Friday is our end of the week surf camp celebration. Please give your child $10 for lunch on Friday as we have lunch catered. Surf campers will receive a free group photo and Pure Life goodies on Friday.
