15th Street Beach Sports

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

Enjoy the best of the Beach and the Bay with Erik Nelsen’s Ocean Adventure Program! Our location on the peninsula offers campers access to a variety of beach activities, including an introduction to surfing, bodyboarding, and fun beach games, as well as stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and much more on the bayside! Safety is our #1 priority.

Erik Nelsen’s 36 years of youth camp experience started in 1986 with Ocean Adventure Programs and has continued with Erik Nelsen Surf Camps. Erik brings structure, organization, ocean safety, and years of experience to 15th Street Beach Sports.

We have a 6:1 student to instructor ratio. Our staff is CPR and First Aid Certified. Sunscreen reapplication breaks are scheduled multiple times throughout the day. Tents are provided for shade on the beach and the bay.

Camp activities include surfing, body boarding & body surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as well as age-appropriate and inclusive beach games, beach volleyball, ocean safety lessons on rip tides, currents, and waves & ecology lessons. Each day students will learn something new about the beach. A pizza party is provided on Friday. Come join the fun!

• Group A is for 5-to-7-year olds.
