Surfing, skateboarding, and ocean learning shape this active outdoor camp experience in San Diego. Campers can take part in half-day or full-day formats built around surf, skate, or a combination of both. The surf-and-skate program uses Robb Field Skate Park and local beaches, giving children time to practice board skills on land and learn in the ocean environment. Instruction covers surf fundamentals, skate fundamentals, water safety, oceanography, and balance while keeping the focus on hands-on practice.
The program is designed for campers age 6 and older. It can suit children who want to try surfing or skateboarding for the first time as well as those who already have basic skills and want more practice. Ocean Experience uses a step-by-step teaching approach across its surf and skate programs, with instructors guiding campers through fundamentals and skill progression. Camp staff are described as certified in ocean safety, water rescue, First Aid, and CPR.
Daily camp life is structured as a day program, with parent or guardian transportation to and from camp. Official camp policies require sign-in and sign-out, and children are released only to pre-approved adults age 18 or older with valid identification. When weather changes outdoor plans, staff may move activities to other appropriate areas of the facility and use alternative activities.

The program centers on progressive surf and skate instruction rather than a classroom-style camp day. In the combined format, campers spend time at Robb Field Skate Park and at local beaches, using each setting for a different part of the experience. Skate sessions focus on fundamentals and balance, while beach time introduces surf fundamentals, water safety, and oceanography. The official camp material describes a five-step teaching methodology for the surf portion and a fundamentals-based approach for skating.
Families can choose among half-day surf or skate options, full-day surf, and full-day surf-and-skate camp formats. The camp is a day program, so parents or guardians handle transportation. Arrival and departure procedures include signing campers in and out with staff, and pickup is limited to pre-approved adults age 18 or older who can show valid identification.
Outdoor activity is a central part of the program. If rain affects planned activities, staff determine whether conditions require a change and may use other appropriate parts of the facility for alternative activities. The live camp pages also describe instructors as certified in ocean safety, water rescue, First Aid, and CPR.
Camp procedures include direct sign-in and sign-out with an instructor. Parents or guardians must make staff aware that a child is in attendance at drop-off, and campers are released only to pre-approved adults age 18 or older with valid identification.

If rain affects planned activities, staff assess the weather and may move the group to other appropriate areas of the facility for alternative activities.

Parents or guardians are responsible for transportation to and from camp. Campers are signed in with an instructor at arrival and signed out at departure. If someone other than the parent or guardian will pick up a child, that person must be added to the approved list; campers are released only to pre-approved adults age 18 or older with valid identification. The combined program uses Robb Field Skate Park and various beaches, so the day may involve activity in more than one outdoor setting.
