Surfing is a great way for kids to stay active. At Thompson Surf School we make the experience FUN for all children, regardless of age and ability. Safety is most important to us, so we only use soft surfboards. Our instructors are professional surfers, watermen, and waterwomen with years of surfing experience and ocean knowledge. We not only teach the fundamentals of surfing, but we educate children on the ocean environment and ocean safety.

 

 *All students are required to know how to swim prior to participating in surf camp.

“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”
