Building 21st Century Skills at Surf Camp

Summer camp is an awesome way to help students build confidence and explore unique interests.  By engaging independently in new experiences, campers learn problem solving, communication, and grit. Surf camps provide a unique opportunity for campers to explore a particularly unfamiliar environment to learn competence and independence in the ocean.  Read on to discover how your camper can build 21st century skills through surf camps.  

Time Outside

San Diego is filled with opportunities to learn and explore outdoors.  However, many of us don’t take advantage of this chance to play in our diverse outdoor spaces as we should.  Surfers, however, seem to have harnessed the ability to connect with the environment through pure joy.  San Diego surf camps give our campers the opportunity to discover their capacity to connect with nature and discover new things.  

Future Scientists

Many surfers with Surf Education Academy report feeling inspired to learn more about the ocean outside of their time surfing.  Some have gone to bring this inspiration into the classroom through studying marine sciences.  The resilience needed to make it in the surf is a transferable skill for the classroom.  Students learn the importance of hard work and determination through their time at surf camp.  

Tech In Action

As we work our way through the 21st century, advances in technology seem to be leading the way towards future industries.  Surf Education Academy incorporates technology, in unique ways, into teaching students through online video tutorials, instant surf video analysis with iPads, and real-time surf photography.  SEA is the only surf school in San Diego that utilizes this advanced technology to help students build their surfing skills.  

Surf camp has the ability to expose campers to a variety of new skills and experience from independence in the ocean to 21st century skills.  Surf camp can be a great way to help your student build confidence, resilience, and critical thinking.  Sign up for a surf camp today with Surf Education Academy to guide your child through a skills building experience today!
