Surf Camps

Surf Camps
(ages 7+)

Surf Camps run from June 10th to August 23rd

Campsurf Surf Camps in Manhattan Beach provide a safe, fun and educational introduction to surfing and the ocean environment for boys and girls age 7 and up. Our Surf Camps are different from others in the way we pass on surfing and ocean knowledge. Our low student to instructor ratio of 4:1 guarantees surfing improvement, personal attention and, most importantly, safety. We pride ourselves on the quality of our instruction and the caliber of our instructors. All of Our Instructors are CPR & First-Aid Certified and are among the top surfers and watermen in the area, each with years of teaching experience and training.

If you’re looking for a solid foundation in surfing, book a summer surf camp with us. We guarantee you’ll see results by the end of the week! Already have a solid foundation in surfing? We always provide an extra instructor to help our more advanced students who are catching their own waves and looking to work on more advanced skills.

I just wanted to pass on huge thanks and praise for the fantastic experience CJ had last week (and yesterday). He’s hooked, and will continue with after school surf next month. The way your instructors run the camp is perfect. They’re on time, fun, great with kids…very professional while at the same time relaxed and friendly. Brooklyn had a great time too yesterday, by the way. She’s looking forward to trying more lessons.

All the best,
Janiece

Thank you Tommy! They had so much fun today. Jason killed it with them as usual, tandeming with their friends etc. Just in case parents don’t pass this along to you, Jason does an amazing job every single time they are there. Sometimes I hang out down there and surf alongside the camp so I see it firsthand. He’s just great!

Thank you for everything. Our kids had a fabulous time. As always, Will and Maddie were wonderful with our girls. And, Kevin, Austin and Tyler were fantastic with our Godsons. The boys could not stop talking about surfing. And they plan to do it again when they visit next summer.

Thanks for making a positive difference in so many lives. When I pick my grandson up from camp, he always says, “I had the best day ever!” As we drive home, he happily tells me about all the fun activities. Then he gets quiet. I look in the rear view mirror and he is sound asleep.

I wanted, once again, to extend my appreciation to you and your staff for another outstanding summer for my boys. Coco, Dana and Stokke were our go to guys this year and they were all exceptional. Ethan’s surfing skills really took-off under the instruction of Coco and Dana while John Stokke provided a safe and wonderful introduction to my younger son, Aaron. I can hardly believe that this is our fourth summer with CampSurf and it remains the highlight of our time in California for both my kids.

Thank you! I speak so highly of CampSurf to all our friends here in MB (both residents and “summer people”) and hope our referrals make their way to you. Wishing you a great year filled with great success. We will be in touch again next summer!

Yes! Our camp is primarily kids age 7 to 15, but our program is actually great for adults and we’ve had many satisfied adult clients. Due to our low instructor to surfer ratio, every fourth person in the water is an instructor who’s at least 18 years old so you won’t feel like you’re surrounded by kids. We also spend nearly the entire camp time in the water so you will be focused primarily on your own surfing skills for the duration of camp.
You may attend as many days of camp as you’d like. We have a weekly rate and daily rate, which you can choose at checkout depending on whether you’ll be attending the full 5-day camp or between 1 and 4 days.
We use a third party registration software that has it’s limitations when it comes to registering children or siblings. If you created an account for yourself AND your child, you need to make sure you’re logged into your child’s account, which requires a separate username and password. Unless you will also be participating in one of our programs, we recommend your only account with us is under your child’s name. Please Contact Us if you’re having any trouble with this and we will straighten it out for you.

Due to high demand and limited space in our programs, the following cancellation policies apply:
7 or more days prior to camp start date = Full refund
3 to 6 days prior to camp start day = 50% refund or Campsurf account credit
Within 48 hours of camp start date = Campsurf account credit
“No-Shows” will not receive Campsurf credit or a refund
If Campsurf cancels a camp, a full refund or credit will be given to registered participants.
