Jackson, New Jersey — Shoreside Surf Camps & Outdoor Adventures

This Aloha Girls program in Surf City is structured as a four-day day camp that blends surfing, bodyboarding and skimboarding with yoga, art and community-building. According to the operator description, sessions run 9:00am–2:00pm Monday through Thursday with five hours per day of supervised programming. The camp emphasizes confidence, teamwork and a mix of on-land and in-water skills—surf sessions alternate with yoga and creative activities so children develop comfort in the ocean and an appreciation for beach culture.

Families will find the program appealing for its multi-activity approach and consistent schedule: the listing provides week-by-week dates across the season and specifies that check-in happens at the Surf City shop for wetsuit fitting. This is a fit for girls who want a supportive week of progression, creative outlets and daily supervised ocean time.

North Beach Surf Camp in Deal runs weekly sessions designed to build surf skills across five consecutive days from June through late August. The operator notes hands-on coaching from local pros who are First Aid and CPR certified; daily structure includes warm-ups, two in-water blocks separated by a shaded midday break, and a final wrap-up circle. The program balances skill-building—paddling, pop-up technique, wave reading—and ocean-safety lessons with beach games that keep the day fun for campers.

The listing highlights a typical day structure, included gear like surfboards and rashguards for participants, and the Hathaway Avenue Beach meeting point. For families looking for steady progression, this format gives repeated water time over a week and is well suited to campers who benefit from consecutive-day coaching and reinforcement.

Keiki Surf Camp in Asbury Park is specifically aimed at very young participants. The operator materials describe two-hour morning or afternoon sessions that introduce fundamental surf skills, healthy ocean habits and safety practices. The curriculum is unique in that it was crafted by preschool teachers; instructors run a structured program with high safety standards (CPR- and First Aid-certified staff) and defined student-to-instructor ratios to keep sessions age-appropriate and supportive.

The listing stresses that Keiki programming expects children to be comfortable participating in the ocean and notes sign-in/sign-out procedures for minors, a shaded home-base canopy, and included beginner gear. If your goal is a gentle, educator-designed introduction to waves and ocean awareness for a preschooler, this is the targeted option in the lineup.

Lucky Dog Surf School’s South Beach program in Sea Bright is built for ages 8–15 and runs three-hour daily sessions Monday through Friday across several multi-week blocks. The operator notes two South Beach meeting locations depending on week, parking constraints, and that surf clients may access the beach without paying a beach access fee (spectators must pay). Instruction covers fundamentals and higher-level techniques, with a consistent focus on ocean safety and instructor certifications.

Important operational notes in the listing address cancellations and makeups: sessions remain open in rain but close for thunder and lightning, and makeup days are offered when an entire day is cancelled. The school maintains student-to-instructor ratios of 3:1 or better, supplies wetsuits and boards when needed, and emphasizes steady daily practice—ideal for campers ready to commit to a week of concentrated surf training.

This North Beach camp offers the same core curriculum as the Sea Bright South Beach weeks but operates from an alternate beach access point. Daily sessions are three hours long and the program welcomes all levels from beginners to advanced young surfers; instructors are CPR- and First Aid-certified and the program maintains small student-to-instructor ratios.

The operator statement includes clear policies: cancellations for unsafe surf are communicated and makeups are offered for full-day cancellations, but refunds and credits are limited. When surf is flat the school focuses on flat-water skills that translate to better performance when waves return. For families seeking a reliable week of instruction with clear contingency policies, this option provides structure and transparency.

LBI’s Junior Surf Camp is offered in four-day blocks, with sessions of roughly two and a half hours per day. The operator divides campers into age-grouped levels—9–10, 11–13 and 14–17—to target instruction and progression. Surfboards and wetsuits are included, and the program identifies multiple scheduled windows across the summer season for drop-off and pickup times.

This compact four-day structure is well suited to families seeking a short, intensive block of coaching. The listing highlights that camps focus on skill progression through repeated daily practice, and the Beach Haven meeting point is provided for check-in. For teens and older kids who prefer shorter weeks rather than full five-day camps, this packable option is a strong match.
