Join the Surf Station Surf School for another season of shredding
They say that only a surfer knows the feeling, but what is that feeling exactly? It’s one of freedom, one of flying, one of weightlessness while you glide across the water’s surface. A feeling of camaraderie as you paddle out to a line up of familiar faces. One of strength and grounding, using just a board and your body to connect with the ocean. This is what you’ll experience when you learn to surf, and the Surf Station Surf School is here to make that process a whole lot easier.
Voted St. Augustine’s best surf camp year after year, the Surf Station Surf School offers small sessions focused on teaching your child how to shred. There are co-ed camps available for surfers ages seven years and older, as well as several weeks of “microgrom” camps for children ages three to seven. Another unique aspect of our summertime surf camp is that we offer all girl’s lessons, perfect for fostering friendships and confidence among female surfers.
Learn to Surf: What to Expect
The Surf Station Surf School offers both half and full day sessions, four days a week. Camps are scheduled to run from Monday to Thursday, with Friday reserved as a rain day. Campers will first checkin with an instructor, either at the Surf Station II if attending our Crescent Beach Camp, or in the 10th Street parking lot if joining our St. Augustine Beach session. From this point, campers will join our instructors for a stretch and warm up, which is key before enjoying a surf! Then, our instructors will run through some light drills, teaching campers how to properly paddle and pop up on their surfboard.
After this preparation, we’re ready to hit the waves! Campers will spend the majority of their time in the water, with games and snack breaks throughout the day. If attending our half day session, campers will be picked up at noon. Full day campers will meet for lunch and then head back to the beach for a second session. At the end of each week, campers will receive a special goodie bag!
To ensure that these memories will last a lifetime, each week will be documented by one of our talented staff instructors, with photos uploaded to our SmugMug account. Just don’t be surprised if your child wants to sign up immediately for another week!
