PROFESSIONAL • EDUCATIONAL • EXPERIENCED

Enjoy the best of both the beach and the bay with Erik Nelsen’s 15th Street Beach & Bay Sports! Located on the peninsula, our camp gives participants access to a wide range of activities, including an introduction to surfing and bodyboarding, classic beach games, and bay-side fun such as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. Safety is always our number one priority.

With over 40 years of youth camp experience, Erik Nelsen began his programs in 1986 with Ocean Adventure Programs and Erik Nelsen Surf Camps, and continues that legacy with 15th Street Beach & Bay Sports. His focus on structure, organization, and ocean safety ensures a well-run and enriching camp experience.

We maintain a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio, and all staff members are CPR and First Aid certified. Sunscreen reapplication breaks are scheduled throughout the day, and tents are provided for shade at both the beach and bay locations.

Camp activities include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, bodyboarding, and age-appropriate, inclusive beach and land games. Campers also receive daily ocean safety lessons covering rip tides, currents, waves, and ecology, learning something new about the beach each day. The week wraps up with a pizza party on Friday. Come join the fun!

Classes are taught by CPR-certified instructors with a 5:1 student/instructor ratio.
