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 8 and continue until age 17. We divide our campers into three age groups to ensure everyone has maximum fun and 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 have the best staff period! Our core staff members are ocean lifeguards, pro surfers, credentialed teachers, and avid watermen and women whose passion and respect for the ocean is unrivaled!
Camper to instructor ratio is approximately 4:1. Your kids will be treated as our own while in our care!
FUN
Surfing is always front and center, but Malibu Makos includes kids’ favorite water sports such as body boarding, swimming, and bodysurfing, along with out-of-water activities that kids love including beach flags, surf ball, and more. Lots of water time is a major goal each day! Students are never forced to participate in any activity until they are comfortable and are always encouraged to go at their own pace with a positive attitude from Makos staff.
SAFETY
Safety is our primary concern. Makos is one of the safest kids’ ocean camps in Southern California. Our experienced staff includes ocean lifeguards, pro surfers, and credentialed teachers. Instructors have completed a rigorous training program that includes rescue techniques, ocean safety education, first aid, CPR certification, and problem solving and people skills.
