Surfing is an exciting way for kids to stay active, and at Thompson Surf School, we make sure the experience is FUN for children of all ages and skill levels. Safety is our top priority, which is why we use soft surfboards for every lesson. Our instructors are professional surfers, watermen, and waterwomen with years of experience and a deep knowledge of the ocean. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of surfing, we also educate kids on ocean safety and the environment, ensuring they gain valuable skills both in and out of the water

 

 *All students must be competent ocean swimmers.

 

*We understand plans can change, but we ask that you only sign up for the weeks you are sure your child can attend. This allows other families the opportunity to enroll in camps that may otherwise be full.

Why us?

Thompson Surf School is the right choice for many reasons. We have one of the best student to instructor ratios at 3:1, which guarantees your child is safe and receiving great surf instruction. The smaller camp size allows children to feel comfortable in their new surrounding enabling them to develop this new skill.

**All camps run Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, with Friday being reserved as a weather day.

Memorial day week camp will run Tuesday – Friday.

“Excellent experience for my sons. Evan, Tristan and their team of assistants made the surfing experience safe, enriching and super fun. Both kids came home every day telling tales of their adventures and wishing it was the next morning! Highly recommend for any kid–shy or outgoing–the experience will be unforgettable and meaningful.”

“This surf camp was excellent for our sons. The instructor to surfer ratio was wonderful and Evan was incredibly organized. The instructors were kind, knowledgable and fun. We stayed and watched all of the mornings and I always felt like our kids were safe and engaged. We have done larger camps in the past, but this will be our camp from now on. Cannot say enough great things about this experience“

“My daughter had an amazing time at surf camp and cannot wait to do it again next year—even asked for an additional week! The individual attention each student gets is so reassuring that they are actually learning rather than just babysitting our kids while on a surfboard—and the coaches are such great people. I’d highly recommend this to anyone! Can’t wait for next year”
