“We educate and instruct children to enjoy the beach and ocean responsibly.”

Welcome to Orange County’s #1 choice in summer youth programs. Since 1977 and 1986, Ocean Adventure Programs and Erik Nelsen Surf Camps have instilled safety, education, integrity, and structure into their curriculum. This experience shines bright through their friendly and professional staff and organized program layouts. Join one or more of our four outstanding programs.

Girls and boys will learn basic ocean awareness skills and gain confidence in and around the ocean while being educated and participating in many of our ocean-themed camps. With safety as our priority and the watchful eyes of our experienced staff, these young ocean campers will be introduced to ocean safety, ocean awareness, marine biology, and respect, in and around the ocean while participating in surfing, oceanography, and beach sports!

Please consider ALL of our unique full-day summer camp programs when registering. Our staff is First Aid and CPR certified and we also provide excellent instructor-to-student ratios. We look forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy the website and please let us know if you have any questions.
