Summer Surf Camps 2024 Moonlight Beach Encinitas
Little Groms Summer Surf Camp 2024 will begin on May 28th and run weekly thru the first week of September. Morning surf camp hours are 9-12 and Afternoon surf camp hours are 1-4pm Monday thru Friday at Moonlight Beach Encinitas.
Registration for summer surf camps is currently open.
We start each day at surf camp together as a group stretching, talking about the current ocean conditions and going over our daily lesson in ocean safety. After evaluating the current conditions and talking about ocean safety we head out for our first water session. During our water sessions we surf, swim, boogie board and bodysurf. We allow each student to go at their own pace during the water sessions and we never push them past their comfort level. This helps them build their confidence gradually. After our first water session we take a snack break so the kids can refuel and get a break from the sun. After the snack break we run and play some high energy beach games and then get back into the ocean for our next water session. During our water sessions we emphasize the importance beach and water safety. A few of our points of emphasis are:
Rip Currents- how they form, how to spot them and how to stay calm and swim out of them
Tides- how to identify high and low tides and how they create different ocean conditions
Sandbars- how they are created and how they affect wave conditions and the currents
Stingrays- we teach stingray awareness and safety
Cost for the camp: $425 for the week
Where to meet: Both drop off and pick up is at Moonlight Beach
What to bring: Must provide your own wetsuit. We provide surfboards and boogie boards, although you may bring your own boogie board. Make sure and pack a snack and water each day along with a dry towel
