Skimboarding Camp Options
For Summer 2023 we are offering four skimboarding summer camp programs. It should be noted that in most half-day programs, depending on the tide, kids will be Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) on 1-2 days, or Exploring for a day of camp. All skimboarding camps are half-day (morning or afternoon) - if you are interested in having your kid participate in a full-day camp, see our Multi-Sport Summer Camp page where your kid can try their hand at a combination of different watersports!
Skimboard & Explore Camp (half-Day)
Who can participate? Children ages 7-15
What will my kid learn? Similar to the beginner skimboard camp, first-time and beginner skimboarders will learn the proper technique of “throwing” the board and skimming across the sand, and can even be introduced to basic maneuvers such as “180′s” and “shuvits.” Intermediate riders will learn an assortment of flatland maneuvers and even experiment with ramps. This camp also offers an educational ‘Explore’, allowing students learn about local wildlife like eagles and seals, tides and how they work, and take part in other games and activities. What's the main difference from the Skim & SUP program? There's no stand-up paddleboarding in this program.
