About
Wsos summer surf camp! These camps run M-F 8-11 am and are intended for kids aged 5-13, but older teenagers are welcome. This is the week your kid will find their love for surfing and the ocean! Campers will spend the day on the beach and in the water, working on their surfing skills for 1.5 hrs and the rest boogie boarding, swimming, looking for shells, taking a snack and drink break (provided), and getting to know each other. Campers will learn about essential ocean safety tips, tides, winds, identifying rip currents, and more! Campers are free to surf as much or as little as they like, as camp members will be on the beach and in the water during each day of camp. This is an excellent way for your kid to immerse themselves in the surfing lifestyle and learn the skills needed to form what we hope to be a lifelong love for the sport.
