The surf camp instructors are all CPR, lifesaving, and first-aid certified. 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 ages 5 to 17.
Surf Diva's surf camps for kids and teens in San Diego are family-operated and locally owned for over 20 years. Every surf camp runs to the highest expectation as our own kids were and are attending alongside yours.

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).
