We are looking for volunteers to help with the event. We need help with the following: surf instructors to push kids in to waves, creating swag bags, sand games to entertain when its other peoples heats, water safety watchers, lunch servers, unloading of boards and equipment, and cleanup and pickup. This is such a wonderful event and opportunity for kids to have a great day at the beach & learn to surf!
This is open to the first 40 kids in advance. There will also be 20 spots available on a first come first serve basis the morning of the surf camp.
All 60 kids will receive the following:
An awesome medal
Hunt for coastal treasures with state park naturalists.
