Where do we meet?
Ocean City, NJ camps meet on the first morning of camp in the Gazebo at 58th Street at 8AM Sharp on the first day for registration & morning instruction.
We surf at 57th Street Beach in Ocean City NJ. Parents should pick up their kids at 57th Street Beach after camp. Public Restrooms are located at 59th Street.
Safety
We take safety very seriously at our surf camps. Lifeguards monitor the beaches where we surf each day. Students wear bright rashguards so they are easily visible and identifiable with the group. The student to counselor ratio in the water is three to one for beginners and a maximum of five students per counselor for more experienced surfers. Most of our surf instructors are certified in CPR and lifesaving techniques, they are very strong swimmers/surfers and have many years of ocean experience. We have staff on the beach ready to help campers for almost any need they may have.
Cancellations
Exceptions to our policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather or personal sports schedules, vacation, etc. Because of our commitment to our campers, staff & volunteers, and because of limited space there will be absolutely no refunds within 60 days of the first day of your camp. In the case of a medical emergency a signed doctor’s note will be required and one half of your camp tuition will be refunded. If you have any questions regarding our cancellation policy, please call our office at (609) 390-5662.
Student requirements
Students must be able to endure a highly vigorous highly physical workout that involves swimming and must have respect for the power of the ocean, be in good health and willing to obey instructors and lifeguards. Camp does not include swimming lessons. Every effort will be made for safety in and out of the water. Instructor/FCA reserves the right to cancel the camp due to severe weather and waves, heavy fog, lightning or other conditions.
New students/parents must contact the instructor for a brief interview before enrolling (609) 602-0610. If you particpated in the 2008 camp there is no need to call. Enrollment is first come first serve basis.
What to bring checklist
- A healthy lunch & large water jug (for day camps)
- NO SODA, NO ENERY DRINKS and NO JUNK FOOD!
- Girls - modest swimsuit appropriate for the activity of surfing
- Boys-cotton is rotten- tighty whities and cotton boxers will cause rashes! Good board shorts and surfing under-gear are a good investment, found in most surfshops
- T-shirt & hat
- Flip-flops
- Towel(s)
- Waterproof sunscreen minimum 30 SPF non-migrating & lip balm
- Sunglasses
- Backpack with your name or name tag on it. It is best for your surfing experience to leave your entertainment electronics home so they are not lost or damaged.
You can bring your own surfboard with a leash or borrow our surfboards (surfboards provided in Ocean City, Assateague Island, and San Diego)
** If you are over 12 years old, you will need a beach tag in Ocean City, not included in camp cost, Beach Tags can be purchased on the beach. |
