Summer Surf And Skate Camp

Summer Surf And Skate Camp

San Diego, CA, USA

Overview

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.

Program

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.

Safety

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. Staff are described as certified in ocean safety, water rescue, First Aid, and CPR. If rain affects planned activities, staff assess the weather and may move the group to other appropriate areas of the facility for alternative activities. Surf instruction also includes water-safety learning as part of the program.


Medical Care

If a camper becomes ill or injured during camp, staff contact the parent or guardian for pickup. If the guardian cannot collect the child, staff begin calling the listed emergency contacts. The camp policy also states that Ocean Experience will take necessary steps to obtain medical care if a child is injured. Instructors are described as First Aid and CPR certified.


Staff

Camp instructors are described as certified in ocean safety, water rescue, First Aid, and CPR. Instruction is organized around learning fundamentals and progressing board skills through guided practice. Surf programming uses a step-by-step methodology that incorporates water safety, oceanography, and surf fundamentals, while skate programming focuses on building or improving foundational skate skills. Staff also manage camper sign-in and sign-out and follow the program’s approved-pickup procedures.


Communication

Families receive a registration confirmation after signing up for the camp options shown on the official product pages. Parents or guardians communicate directly with staff at drop-off and pickup through the required sign-in and sign-out process. The program also publishes a general office email and phone number for camp questions.


Logistics

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.
