KIDS
SURFING CAMPS |
|
Our Summer Fun Kids Camp is a
great way for kids to learn the
sport in a social environment. The big floaty
boards are easy to use and the kids feel success right away. The
three-day SURFING day camps include SURFING skills, snack time, and some theory, some
safety talks, sharing the gear with small groups 3-4 kids to 1 instructor. These youth power camps enrich the
lives of the students and promote healthy active lifestyles. Kids receive a certificate on
completion at the end of their three-day course. |

|
This is our tenth year
of Summer Kids Camps and they have b een a great success. We are
Maui's Original Kids SURFING Camp and have
specialized in promoting kids SURFING for ten years. Kids
come back several times a summer and sometimes several summers
in a row. We also have advanced classes for the slightly
older kids that have progressed beyond the beginners program. |
|
|
Each summer, we teach more than 300 kids, ages 6-12. With 9 hours of instruction over a three day period an instructor student ratio of 1:4.
Our equipment is perfectly sized for kids. We use the
Soft-tops by Surftech
that are specially designed for young surfers. These boards are specifically designed for
comfort safety and performance. Board sizes start at 8ft on up to the
larger sizes. The boards are made from light weight
polystyrene/epoxy, with a soft EVA foam deck pad. With such great tools at our disposal we are able to achieve great things. Children as young as
6 years old are now surfing on shorter boards and looking for
bigger waves.

The
future of the sport belongs to the kids. We are committed to introducing
SURFING to kids in a safe, fun and well-organized environment. Sharing our love for the sport and watching the enthusiasm on their faces are the most rewarding aspects of our role as coaches. |
|
|
|
Learning
a new sport and making new friends is a great confidence
booster. Our campers come alive as they discover the joy and
freedom of SURFING. It is all play to them but they come
away from the camps stronger, more confident and bursting with a
new enthusiasm for SURFING. |

Located at Kalama Beach Park
in Kihei, we are blessed with super easy waves all
summer long. Our summer SURFING kids camps start at 8:30am each day when the winds are calmer,
and to get the young ones going. The students carry their
boards up to the beginner cove that is the most protected part of
the beach, here they get the day's beach briefing and balance
training, and will get into small groups, of similar size and
experience levels. The coaches will have about four kids taking
turns and sharing the board, riding tandem and having fun. Each
day we break for a snack and do some beach exercises, fun
theory, & safety talks. |

No experience is necessary.
If kids have a little experience, a lot or no experience at all, our
program will work for them. Some of our kids will be working on
the fundamentals, while others will be doing some more advanced
techniques. Just let us know where they are at and we can get
them going. Our beginners program starts at 8:30am. |
|
|
The course is primarily for elementary school
ages children, from 6 to 13 years of age. Camps are usually a
mixture of local school kids and some summer visitors too.
Many of the local kids are from SURFING families and are
second and third generation surfers. Our visitor's children
are often a mix of newbies and some from SURFING families that have been visiting the
islands for years. This is a great opportunity for local kids to
mix in with some new kids and see some new faces. |
