Day Surf Camps
Eleven camps are scheduled and open for the public in 2008. They will run during the months of June, July, August (Beginner to Advanced Beginner Level) and September (Advanced Beginner to Intermediate Level). Camp size is limited to 12. A minimum of 8 is needed to hold camp. Advanced beginner swimming skills and a “love of water” are essential.
For the 2008 season, we will not be offering day surf camps in March, April or May. Over the past four seasons, Mother Nature hasn’t cooperated with our plans to offer day surf camp events. Either the swell was huge and unsafe to teach in &/or the weather was wild, wet and windy. Instead we are offering additional day camps as well as new camp formats this season to make up for the spring! And if you missed last season's week long Womens Surf Camp Retreat, we are extremely excited to offer an even better one for 2008!
NW Women’s Surf Camps will offer private and group lessons during these months-March, April, and May, when the conditions are favorable to teach. Spring on the North Oregon Coast is usually like an extended winter, with the exception of some years, where spring can begin early with milder weather and swell conditions. Scheduling lessons during this window of the year requires flexibility on the students’ part. Email or call to schedule your individual or group lesson for this time of the year.
