FAQs
Answers to your most frequently asked questions.
Do the kids need their own surfboard for camp/lessons?
No, we provide a variety of soft top surfboards for all of the students! We do recommend kids have their own soft top surfboards so that we can teach them how to use their own equipment for when camp ends.
What does my child need to bring for surf camp?
Kids will need to bring their own towel, bathing suit, sun screen, water, and a snack. We recommend that kids have their own wetsuits for when the water is cold, but we do have some community suits available at a first come, first surf basis!
Where can we buy a beginner surfboard or wetsuits?
Surfers Supplies at 3101 Asbury Ave. in Ocean City, NJ is the best surf shop around to get all of your surfing needs! They have a great selection of surfboards and wetsuits for the kids. Tell them Ventnor Surf School sent you.
How many instructors do you have in camp?
We have 1 instructor for every 3 students in camp. This is an excellent ratio for your child to catch the maximum amount of waves and get assistance and advice during camp as well as for safety purposes.
Does your surf school offer camp to children with special needs?
Yes! We have had many experiences with special needs students surfing that have had a blast! We just ask for some notice and recommendations of care in advance so that we can prepare and staff accordingly.
Am I able to reschedule?
Yes, we are flexible and allow for rescheduling if there is availability on another week of camp. Just contact Shaun and please give us 48 hours of notice in advance before the week of camp starts.
Do you hold camp if it is raining?
Yes! We hold camp in the rain as long as the weather is cooperating. We do not hold camp if the wave conditions are unsafe, and that is determined by the instructors every morning! If postponed or cancelled, all parents will be notified in the morning and we will use the Friday of the same week for make-ups.
