Come join us for our Tides Ocean Adventure Summer Camps!

Join us this summer, for an amazing summer camp/beach experience! Tides Ocean Adventure Summer Camp is a unique blend of ocean sports and beach play with some of our very own Tides Marine Biology curriculum mixed in. Campers will have the opportunity to surf, stand-up paddle, bodyboard, build sandcastles, do crafts, play beach games, make new friends and more! We’ll take a break in the middle of the day for a marine biology lesson provided by our awesome summer camp staff, and continue our adventure with guided tide pool and/or beach exploration. (Actual water activities and tide pooling vary by beach location- please see below for specific location details).

We will provide all the gear needed for non-stop fun: soft-top surfboards, SUPs (stand up paddle boards), bodyboards, frisbees, balls, shovels, craft items, easy-ups for shade, etc...(please feel free to bring your own boards!). Ages 6-14 are welcome!

Summer Camp Cancelations, Withdrawals, and Refunds.

When your family enrolls in our programs, we give your student a spot in a small, limited class that has been fairly priced so that we are able to cover our basic costs and pay our staff and teachers. We will not issue refunds for missed camp days, either retroactively or in the future, for any reason. Children will get sick, mishaps happen and plans change, but our camp is a set week-long class that is not priced in a way that can be divided out and refunded class by class.
