Surf camps provide a unique opportunity for campers to explore a particularly unfamiliar environment to learn competence and independence in the ocean. Surf camps have been building 21st century skills in campers since their inception. Read on to discover how your camper can build 21st century skills through surf camps.

Surfing has a long-standing tradition of pride in being self taught. It may take you decades before you learn to paddle out through the breakers and access the real waves that you’re hoping to surf. Who wants to spend their childhood getting beaten up on the inside or their first few years in San Diego being battered by the ocean? You don’t need to spend your beginner sessions that way.

So you’re preparing for the summer and you’re all set for your first week of Surf Camp in San Diego. If you’re wondering what you should expect or how you should prepare, look no further.
