Mini Surf Camp (Ages 6–17)
Mini Camp is a great option for families whose schedules don’t allow for our full-length surf camp, or for students who want to try surfing before committing to a full five-day program. This camp offers the same quality instruction in a shorter, flexible format.
Boys and girls ages 6–17 of all ability levels are welcome. All surf equipment is included.
Camp Structure
Each session begins with a group stretch and beach instruction. Students then break into small groups of 2–4 students per instructor and surf for the remainder of the class.
• Approximately 60–70 minutes of actual surf time
• Grouped by age, experience, and ocean confidence
• Low-pressure, fun, and supportive learning environment
Safety & Instruction
Safety is our #1 priority. With over 21 years of experience, Summa Love Surf Camp has built its reputation on expert coaching, strong safety protocols, and genuine care for our students.
Our instructors teach:
• Balance and proper body positioning
• Paddling and standing techniques
• Surf etiquette
• Open-ocean awareness and safety
• Safe falling techniques
• How to catch and ride waves
Students progress at their own pace while building confidence, ocean skills, and a solid foundation in surfing fundamentals.
