Kids Summer Surf Camp - Wrightsville Beach

Summer Surf Camp at Wrightsville Beach

This is the week your kid finds their love for the ocean. Over five mornings on the sand and in the water, campers spend real time learning to paddle, position, and ride waves alongside guides who've built their careers surfing Wrightsville Beach — with plenty of room left in the day for boogie boarding, swimming, and shell hunting along the way.

Beyond the surfing itself, campers pick up the fundamentals of ocean safety: reading tides and winds, identifying rip currents, and understanding the water they're playing in. Surfing time is self-paced, so kids can chase as many waves as they want or ease into it at their own speed, all while getting to know the other campers around them. It's a full week designed to spark a lifelong love of surfing.
