Description
For campers ages 6 – 7, Junior Surf Camp is a great way to introduce young campers to the fun of surfing and surf related activities on the beach. First time campers MUST pass a swim test BEFORE they can register.
The Oceanside Junior Surf Camp and Regular Surf Camp is designed for intermediate and advanced surfers with a solid understanding of the foundations of surfing. counselors will provide group pop up guidance on the first day as well as very light individualized instruction throughout the week. Additional activities may include beach games, a pier walk, ocean etiquette, and ocean safety.Foam boards are provided to participants to use during camp. Participants need to pack any additional beach day supplies for personal use. Lunch, water, sunscreen, and swim suits are not provided by the camp. We also recommend campers bring a sweatshirt, a long sleeve, a sun hat, and two towels. Oceanside Surf Camp does not provide or rent wetsuits, however campers may bring their own to wear under their camp rash guard.
Children may bring their own surfboards. Hardtop boards will be subject to a skills test to ensure the participant is safe and comfortable catching waves on the outside. Any personal belongings, including personal surfboards, is the sole responsibility of the camper and may not be stored at the camp. The Camp is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Surf Camp takes place just north of the pier near the Junior Seau Beach Community Center.
Please note, this is only Monday-Wednesday. For campers ages 6 – 7, Junior Surf Camp is a great way to introduce young campers to the fun of surfing and surf related activities on the beach. This program is designed to educate young surfers on proper technique, wave selection, and surf etiquette. All campers wishing to enroll must be at a Sea Star level in the City of Oceanside’s Learn to Swim program. If you have not taken swim lessons with us before your options are 1) email your last Oceanside Learn to Swim certificate to aquatics@oceansideca.org or 2) take a swim test.
