Our vision, starting with our youngest Sandpiper campers, is to help kids early on, to develop a deep love, respect, and appreciation of all that the Del Mar and San Diego coastlines have to offer. There is no better place to experience this than with our Aqua-Adventures Team of teachers and coaches. Whether it’s learning new games to play in the sand, how to catch your first wave body surfing, then on to body (boogie) boarding and ultimately catching your first wave on a surfboard, our goal is to have every experience put a smile on their faces today, tomorrow, and memories lasting forever.

 

Part of that love and respect for the ocean comes from a better understanding of ocean safety, learning about the creatures that call the ocean their home, and building confidence each camp day from ocean swimmer to stand up surfer.  Each step along the way prepares them for that next step, and how to safely go from one to the next.  We look forward to introducing our Sandpipers to our favorite place to be, and hopefully make it their favorite place as well.
