All-Girls Surf Camp

Erik Nelsen Surf Camps

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

PROFESSIONAL • FRIENDLY • EXPERIENCED

Welcome to Erik Nelsen’s All-Girls Surf Experience! Join Erik Nelsen and his 40 years of youth camp experience for an exciting week of surf camp designed just for girls.

Our experienced surf instructors will teach the fundamentals of surfing, including how to ride a surfboard, proper standing techniques, ocean safety, surf etiquette, and ocean awareness. Campers will also work on improving their surfing skills in a safe, supportive environment.

Lessons take place at an ideal beginner location featuring gentle waves, a sandy ocean floor, and excellent conditions for learning. All instructors are CPR and First Aid certified, and sunscreen reapplication breaks are scheduled multiple times throughout the day. To wrap up the week, a professional surfer will join us on Friday afternoon to share their knowledge and inspiration.

All instructors are CPR & First Aid Certified. Sunscreen reapplication breaks are scheduled multiple times throughout the day. Our surf camp has a 4:1 student to instructor ratio.

A professional surfer will be on hand to share their surfing knowledge on Friday afternoon.

March 26 @ 8AM
