Highlights
Outing Highlights
Three focused evenings (or alternate Ogunquit slots)
Camps run weekly all summer: at Longsands in York Beach the primary evening block meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday; Ogunquit offers daytime and afternoon options. Each meeting is a two‑hour session over three days, designed to maximize in‑water time.
A short course with measurable gains
Over three two‑hour sessions students work through the fundamentals and focused practice—this is the operator’s most popular program for those who want more time in the water than a single lesson and aims to advance participants quickly.
Longsands and Ogunquit beach sessions
Instruction is based out of Liquid Dreams’ Longsands shop in York Beach, with camps also offered in Ogunquit; the local shorebreaks provide the daily practice arena for drills and wave time.
What the day feels like
What three days on the water feel like
The camp compresses repeated, coached two‑hour sessions across three days so students get more wave time than a single lesson. Beginning with fundamentals and building through guided practice, the format is intended to accelerate technique and confidence across the week.
