Ultimate Beach and Sports Camp
When: Monday-Saturday 10AM-1PM
Ages: 5-17
6 days of surf and beach fun is what your kids expect from their summer camp experience. We’ve combined our two most popular summer camps into ONE- with $100 off. Camps are limited to 15 kids per week so we encourage you to book your camp early.
What more can a beach kid ask for?
The Ultimate Beach and Surf Camp combines surfing with all of the other beach activities kids love- and more! We've taken the best of our passed science, SUP, kite training and action sports camps and put them right on the beach for all ages and skill levels to enjoy.
We do take a significant amount of time in our water related programs to share our knowledge of the ocean. We teach about how to safely swim in open ocean, how to avoid and escape rip currents, how to respect other water users, and awareness of marine life. Campers will learn so much about the ocean that it will increase their comfortability and maximize their amazement and experience in the ocean.

Ocean and Environmental Awareness- Safety With Wildlife
We know that nature can shape a child's memory and experiences, which is why we pair environmental and ocean awareness with action sports. It’s fun, exciting, and encourages an active, healthy lifestyle. We believe that learning about the ocean and all of its changing dynamics is part of an all encompassing experience our beach life instructors hope to share. Water Safety, open ocean awareness and coastal wildlife are incorporated into the camps curriculum.

Our Commitment to Safety
Safety is our first priority as proven by our six years of camp operations and safety record. We follow guidelines and training from both American Red Cross and United States Lifeguarding Association to ensure the safest and most rewarding experiences. We always keep a student to instructor ratio of 4:1 and all of our instructors have certifications in First Aid, CPR, and are open ocean trained. We also carry a comprehensive insurance package, including general liability.
Ocean Safety Education consists of:
- Wave prediction and judgement
- Longshore current identification
- Conservation of the Coast awareness
- Sun exposure and UV awareness
- Beach Ecology and marine science education
- Venomous Marine Life awareness and first aid
- Popular marine life education
- Rip current identification, awareness, and existing procedure
Our Staff
SPI Sessions has a unique approach to our staff. We call ourselves ‘beach life Instructors’ because we believe we share more with the student than just a surfing lesson. We are well-rounded individuals with love for all things friendly to our beach and lifestyle. We maintain a rotating staff of 5-7 Beach life Instructors. In a camp setting we maintain a 4:1 ratio of surfer to instructor staff to maintain the attention necessary for adequate surf technique and stoke. We are very proud to have a strong staff of vetted individuals eager to share the stoke of surfing and eco-awareness.
Experience Summer as it's meant to be...
Our camps are a great place to encourage healthy and positive habits like teamwork and self-confidence. We work on a variety of activities and sports so there's never a dull moment and kids learn how to effectively communicate with their team mates and provide guidance and nurturing words so they can grow in each sport.
