Outing Highlights
Surfing and Paddleboarding Every Day
Daily two-hour sessions focus on hands-on water time: standing up on boards, catching small waves and learning board handling in a supervised setting—an action-packed structure designed to build confidence in the ocean.
Beach Lifeguard Skills and Ocean Awareness
The camp includes beach lifeguard skills and ocean-awareness instruction to help kids understand water safety and how to read beach conditions—practical lessons that sit alongside play and games on the sand.
All the Core Gear and Instructor Supervision Provided
Wetsuits, surfboards and life jackets are included and sessions are led by instructors, so children arrive ready to get on the water without needing their own specialist equipment.
