Malibu Makos Kids Surf Camp and Ocean Safety Camp

Malibu Makos Kids Surf Camp is geared towards young surfers of all abilities. Campers may start at the age of 6 and UP.  Students are placed into three age groups on the 1st day of each session. (Team Green Room. Ages 6-8, Team Orange Crush. Ages 9-11, Team Blue Crew. Ages 12&UP) to ensure the best learning environment, has maximum fun and each individual receives proper attention.

Our Kids Surf Camp is a high-energy program that combines the fun and excitement of surf camp with the safety, ocean education, and fitness components found in a junior lifeguard program. Our goals for your child are not only to teach them how to surf but for them to become proficient in all aspects of ocean safety.

All our students gain in-depth “impact zone” knowledge. Learning about rip currents, lateral currents, wave judgment, and inshore holes can truly save lives. Our mission is to help our students understand ocean safety and how it’s best practiced whenever they are in the water.

We are positive, patient, passionate and professional. Teaching surfing and ocean safety are core components of our program but we value participation and water time bodyboarding, bodysurfing and ocean play tremendously. Malibu Makos feels that learning wave action in any capacity will ultimately help improve our students ocean skills and more importantly instill and build CONFIDENCE! We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels respected, safe, and accepted. Our instructors teach our students with a positive style refined over our 30 years on the beach.   

Camper to instructor ratio is approximately 4:1. Your kids will be treated as our own while in our care! We have our own certified ocean lifeguards watching the water at all times!
