SURF CAMP
at Mt Hood Summer Ski Camps
**Surf camp is available only
to campers that stay at camp for 2 or more sessions.
Surf camp takes place during the weekends (between sessions) on
the beautiful Oregon coast and the beaches surrounding the town
of Cannon Beach.
Surf camp cost varies between $60-$120,
depending on how many campers sign-up, and how many nights are
spent camping (0-2 nights). This price includes all
necessary gear (we rent wet suits and surf boards for each
camper), camping fees, food, and surf lessons. We
recommend that if you are interested in surf camp, that you
bring your own sleeping bag with you to camp.
Surf camp are for campers ages 13 and older. **Younger
campers can go if they are good swimmers and surf conditions
permit.
FAQ:
1. Why does it vary from 0 to 2 nights?
Answer: We may decide to make it into a long
day trip, traveling to the coast somewhat early on a Saturday,
and coming back to Mt Hood later that evening. Or we may
travel to the coast on Saturday morning, camp out, and come back
Sunday afternoon/early evening. Or we may travel down to
the coast on Friday after skiing, camp two nights, and come back
to the mountain on Sunday.
The reasons for the different lengths of stay are based on
weather conditions, interest levels of the campers, as well as
surf conditions. Usually we leave Saturday morning
and come back Sunday afternoon.
2. What's the overnight camping arrangements?
Answer: We take the kids to an established
campground near Seaside, Oregon, where we set up tents.
Kids need to bring their own sleeping bag. There is a
shower facility at the campground and we'll do breakfast and/or
dinner there as well.
3. Is this camp open to beginner surfers?
Answer: Absolutely. In fact, for most of the
kids that come to surf camp, it's their first attempt on a
surfboard.
But they should be age 13 or older. **campers younger
than 13 can go if they are strong swimmers and surf conditions
permit.
4. Can I come to surf camp and just hang out on the beach
and NOT surf?
Answer: Absolutely. If you just want to work
on the tan and build sand castles, that is ok. If you
choose to not surf, you will get a discount on the price of surf
camp.
5. Is surf camp offered every weekend during summer?
Answer: Surf camp is offered every weekend as long as
there is enough interest. Some weekends, not enough people
want to go so it may not happen every weekend.
