Make This Summer Unforgettable with Surf Ride Surf Camps!

Surf Ride Surf Camps offer the ultimate summer adventure for kids ages 8 and up! With our exclusive permit at the North Jetty near Oceanside Harbor — the best beach in North County for learning to surf — your child will be riding the waves in no time.

Each day at camp is packed with fun and adventure. Campers will enjoy a mix of activities, including a scenic beach walk and cleanup, hands-on ocean safety lessons, expert surf instruction, and plenty of time to catch waves. When they’re not surfing, kids can join in on exciting beach games and soaking up the sun with new friends.

Our experienced instructors provide more than just surf lessons. They lead engaging water safety discussions, promote ocean stewardship, and teach essential surf etiquette — helping kids build confidence both in and out of the water.

Leading the way is our head instructor, a passionate surfer with over eight years of surf camp experience. With a low 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio, we ensure personalized attention and a safe, supportive environment for every camper.

Give your child an unforgettable summer, filled with sun, surf, and lasting memories at Surf Ride Surf Camps!

What are the camp hours? 

Our camps run Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.-1:00.

What is the age requirement? 

The minimum age requirement is 8 years old. Unfortunately this age minn. is strictly enforced because of safety issues that exist being on the beach and in the ocean.

Surf Ride provides every camper, surfboards, wetsuits, rashguards, water, and sunscreen will be on the beach everyday all day for the kids. *Surf Camp rashguards will be available for purchase.

What do campers need to bring?

Lunch, towel, snacks and a sweatshirt on cooler days. Parents MUST apply sunscreen before you kids arrive to camp.

What kind of safety precautions do the surf instructors take? 

On Monday mornings, our head instructor goes over camp rules & water safety tips, then campers are divided into groups based on their surfing ability. Next the kids are assigned an instructor for the week. Brightly colored rashguards are distributed to the kids so the instructors can keep a close eye on them. 

Can we request to have our kids in the same group?

While surfing in the ocean all the kids will be grouped according to individual skill lever for safety purposes. However on the beach all the kids will be able to hangout together and play fun beach games with one another regardless of skill level or surf grouping.

What happens on the last day of camp? 

Every Friday our kids are invited to participate in a surf contest! Parents are invited to attend and watch how much their kids have grown throughout the week! All participants will receive a camp prize at the end of Friday. 

Will you ever cancel camp if there aren’t enough kids? 

Yes, every now and then if we do not have enough kids to fill a camp we will cancel the camp and offer a full refund or a discounted session for another week. The min. requirement is 4 kids.
