Why these summer camps?
“We educate and instruct children to enjoy the beach and ocean responsibly.“

PROFESSIONAL • FRIENDLY • EXPERIENCED
Our professional staff is First Aid and CPR certified and has successfully completed the mandatory City of Newport Beach approval process. Every instructor is personally hired by Erik Nelsen, drawing on his 40 years of experience, careful discernment, and commitment to safety, quality instruction, and positive youth development.
OPEN DOOR DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP
Meet our incredible staff during Monday’s Registration “Meet and Greet,” where families and campers can connect with instructors and get oriented for the week ahead. Throughout the program, enjoy our organized and efficient drop-off and pick-up carpool system, designed to make each day smooth, safe, and convenient for parents and campers alike.
SAFE • ORGANIZED • STRUCTURED
Our staff is highly trained, attentive, and safety-focused, providing a strong and supportive presence both in and out of the water. As the preferred surf camp in Orange County for nearly four decades, our reputation is reflected in our well-organized program, emphasis on education, and commitment to creating a safe, positive, and enriching experience for every camper.
