Welcome to Pacific Coast Surf Lessons

Ages 4–7: Beach Camp - Beach Camp is designed for children who are curious about the ocean and beach but are not quite ready for a full ocean intensive camp. We will introduce ocean play and safety — identifying wave patterns and building confidence through repetition, games and peer support. It’s ideal for younger kids who love exploring, playing, and learning through hands-on activities in a safe, closely supervised environment. Camp focus: ocean safety and awareness.

Ages 6–10: Splash Camp - Splash Camp is designed for children ages 6–10 who are ready to spend more time in the water and want a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to ocean board sports. This camp is ideal for kids who enjoy the beach, are comfortable getting splashed, and are curious about boogie boarding and surfing in a safe, supportive setting. Camp focus: Ocean safety, awareness, confidence and currents.

Ages 8-17:  Surf Camp - Surf Camp is designed for kids and teens who are ready for independent surfing and want to build their skills, confidence, and ocean awareness. This camp is ideal for campers who feel comfortable in the water and are excited to learn how to surf — whether it’s their first time standing on a board or they’re working on improving technique, timing and wave selection. Camp focus: Ocean safety, awareness, confidence, currents, surfers etiquette and board control. 

Pre-teen Sleepaway Surf Camp - For girls aged 11-13yr who are ready for a more independent, immersive surf experience and want to spend a four day week living, surfing, and exploring the coast together. Days will be spent surfing in PCSL's surf camp, late afternoons exploring west Marin, and evenings filled with movies and bon fires. 

Teen Sleepaway Surf Camp - Teen Sleepaway Surf Camps are designed for teens ages 13-16yr who are ready for a more independent, immersive surf experience and want to spend a full week living, surfing, and exploring the coast together. This camp is ideal for teens who love the ocean, enjoy being active, and are excited to build confidence, friendships, and surf skills in a supportive group setting. Days will be spent surfing and assisting in PCSL's surf camp, late afternoons scheduled with greater West Marin activities, and evenings filled with movies and bon fires. 

CIT program- Designed for teens ages 13–18yr who want to take the next step beyond being a camper and begin developing leadership, responsibility, and mentorship skills in a supportive surf camp environment. This program is ideal for teens who enjoy working with younger campers, love the ocean, and are interested in learning what it takes to assist as a surf camp counselor while still spending half their day surfing as well.
