Surf Camp Maineest. 2001
Surf Camp Maine is a day camp for kids and teens aged 9 to 15. Since 2001, Surf Camp has introduced more than 1,500 campers to the sport of surfing at Scarborough Beach State Park.
All of Surf Camp's equipment is conveniently located right on the beach--campers arrive each morning, grab their suit and board and walk to Surf Camp's tent located directly in front of Scarborough Beach's main break.
Campers get a comprehensive "beach lesson" where they'll learn ocean safety, board control, paddling and pop-up techniques. With a maximum of 3 campers for every instructor, each student receives plenty of attention and feedback based on their ability.
Instructors
From this pristine Maine beach, attendees in Surf Camp learn to surf from expert instructors, make new friends, explore the local marine environment, and enjoy the Maine summer in the best possible way: outdoors and at the beach!
