Surf Camps IN LA Jolla, SAN DIEGO FOR KIDS AND TEENS
La Jolla Surf Camp in San Diego has been teaching kids and teens how to surf in a safe and fun environment since 1999. La Jolla Shores is the best beach for beginners in San Diego with kids-friendly waves and facilities (check USA Today's 10 Best beaches for beginners to catch waves here).
Surf Diva Summer Surf Camp is a week-long camp for kids ages 5-17. The camp offers daily surf lessons, games, and ocean safety. The camp is located at La Jolla Shores, which is a great place for learning to surf! The waves are consistent and the water is relatively calm. Our instructors are all lifeguard certified and ocean experienced. Aside from being excellent surfers themselves, they go through extensive training at Surf Diva surf school. Our focus is on teaching young surfers ocean awareness and improving one's surfing skills while building self-confidence for all students
The camp is a great way for kids to learn how to surf and have fun in the ocean. They will also make new friends and memories that will last a lifetime!
Half-Day Surf Camps San Diego
Surf Diva's summer surf camps are 5-day outdoor camps running Monday - Friday at La Jolla Shores. Half-day surf camps in San Diego are available all summer long located in beautiful La Jolla Shores. Every day before we hit the water we teach our campers a land lesson that focuses on helping kids understand the ocean. With the ocean changing daily, we apply appropriate techniques to help each camper individually. Our surf camp instructors are trained to identify your child's comfort zone and place them within a group that caters to their needs. We have many different instructors on staff that specialize in various skill levels ranging from advanced to first-time surfers.
The half-day surf camps in La Jolla are offered in the morning from 9 am to 12:15 pm and in the afternoon from 1 pm to 4 pm. Surfers have to be dropped off at the start time of camp and can be picked up and the end time of camp (+15 min).

CANCELLATION / RESCHEDULE POLICY:
Cancellations and refunds can only be done through the original confirmation email.To cancel or reschedule your booking, please use the green "Manage this Booking" button located in your confirmation email.To receive a refund, cancellation must be made 1 WEEK prior to the start of camp. Refunds cannot be done over the phone.
FIBERGLASS OR EPOXY SURFBOARDS
Camp runs in a group setting and safety is our utmost priority. We recommend all campers use soft-top surfboards. However, if you want your child using their own hard board we will first need to assess your child's ability to hold onto their surfboard in the ocean. Ocean conditions will also play a factor. Conditions must be approved daily by the camp directors before each surf session. Please keep in mind that surf camp runs in a GROUP setting so there will be other surfing kids close by to your child.
If you do not feel confident that your child can hold onto their surf board at ALL TIMES in ALL conditions please do not bring a hard surf board to camp. We want to make sure all campers have a fun and safe experience in the ocean. :)
