LEARN TO SURF THIS SUMMER

 

Summer Camp Fun

Bolinas Surf Camp is offered for 8 weeks each summer from June through August. Each camp is 4 days and runs from 10am to 3pm, Monday through Thursday. Camps are available for kids 7 to 16.

Our camps always focus on maintaining a safe learning environment for your child. We have 20 years experience teaching kids to surf and want your child to have the best experience possible by receiving personal instruction. That's why we only take a limited number of kids per camp and have the best instructor to kid ratio around.

Your child will receive instruction in surfing fundamentals, safety and etiquette from our best instructors. Your child will also learn how the environment affects surfing through storms, wind, tides. If your child has never surfed before and you want him or her to get off to the right start or they want to take their surfing to the next level, our summer camps are the right choice.

Each camp will involve 4 full days of surfing, boogie boarding and hanging out on Bolinas beach, the Bay Area's best beginner beach.
