A Typical Day at Coach Cooper's Surf Camp is safe, exciting, and informative. The camp provides a great beginning for the new surfer and the needed guidance for the more experienced. A highly qualified and well trained staff of instructors teach all levels of ability to beginning, intermediate, and advanced surfers.
On the final day of Camp, all students will receive a goodie bag, and a free Surf Camps USA T-Shirt. Our weeklong Camps have a contest with trophies as well.

4. The camp has no more than a 4:1 student/instructor ratio
5. Instructors are CPR/First Aid Certified and at least one instructor lifeguard certified
6. The camp is licensed or permitted from the city or state where it takes place

8. The camp is in a location that safety services can easily access
