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.
