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!

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.

FOOD

Every Friday is Free Pizza Friday where pizza and beverages  are provided at no charge!!! YES WE HAVE GLUTEN FREE AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS! 

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.

TRANSPORT

Transportation is Back!! Easy and convenient location so we can still get maximum surf and fun time.  We will be offering transportaion from Las Virgenes and the 101 Freeway. Take advantage of our luxury transportation every camp day, specific days of the week, or whenever a scheduling conflict arises.

"...kind words..."

“If your child loves the ocean, there is no better option for summer camp than Malibu Makos! Inexpensive, convenient transportation, flexible schedule, friendly and helpful staff – and, most importantly, tons of fun!”
