Spring Break Teen Surf Camp
Overview
Make this Spring Break the most fun ever and spend it surfing some of the best breaks in southeastern North Carolina! Join us for an amazing journey as we discover Topsail Island and Surf City, the town named for its abundance of waves! During our six day learn-to-surf program, we’ll surf uncrowded beaches, having the waves all to ourselves. Whether it’s your first time riding waves or you’re more experienced and want to take your surfing to the next level, our staff of professional instructors will provide you with the highest quality surfing experience.
We’ll surf multiple sessions daily as our instructors coach you using our proven teaching methodology. Our 3:1 student to instructor ratio provides a safe environment to learn and allows for personalized attention during each surf session. Learn about wave dynamics, surf etiquette, and various coastal ecosystems as we explore the surrounding area. Surf multiple beaches including Topsail, Surf City, and Wrightsville. Over the course of the week, you’ll build confidence as a surfer and become more comfortable in the ocean’s dynamic environment. At the end of each day, we’ll return to our surf house to recharge with dinner and games. After dinner, our group will discuss the day’s best waves and wipeouts as well as everyone’s goals for the following day.

**Please note** April in North Carolina is absolutely gorgeous, with warm days and cool nights—the perfect backdrop for our Spring Break surf sessions! While the water temperature is starting to warm up, it’s usually around 63-65°F, so we require that campers bring their own wetsuits for extra comfort. A 3/2mm wetsuit or spring suit will be ideal to keep you warm in the waves!

Itinerary
DAY 1:
School’s out!! It’s time to break away from the classroom and begin your Ultimate Spring Break Surf Adventure! After getting settled into our house on beautiful Topsail Island, we’ll kick off orientation. Introductions, going over rules, and the schedule for the week… Now it’s time to put on our wetsuits, grab our boards, and head to the beach! You’ll receive your first round of professional surf instruction as we spend the rest of the afternoon catching and trading waves with newfound friends. After surfing your first session in the clear Atlantic waters, we’ll return back to the house for some fun games and hang out time. You’ll fall asleep listening to the waves crash on the shore, dreaming about tomorrow’s surfing adventures!
DAY 2:
The day starts off with checking the surf, of course! You’ll learn the top websites for surf forecasting and put the knowledge to use throughout the week. WB Surf Camp Instructors will work with you individually, allowing you to progress at your own pace. After a delicious lunch, it’s time for more surfing! You have to pinch yourself because you can’t believe you’ll be spending an entire week surfing with instructors and friends cheering you on! We’ll cook up some delicious dinner at our house, and then settle in for a night of games, talk about highlights of the day, and video review. Video/photo analysis is one of the most useful tools for improving your surfing and we’ll be implementing it throughout the week.
DAY 3:
With the opportunity to surf multiple beach breaks within 30 minutes of each other, we’ll assess where the spot is for today. Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Wrightsville Beach all provide perfect, uncrowded spots for beginners and intermediates alike. As the week progresses, beginners are gaining confidence with every ride, starting to paddle into their own waves, and even riding down the line. More experienced surfers are honing their skills and learning more advanced maneuvers as they receive expert coaching from our staff. After a fun morning session, we’ll eat a filling lunch on the beach before heading back out for more. Your arms may be sore, but your stoke keeps you charging waves for the rest of the day! We’ll return to the house for showers and then cook up a tasty feast. Surfing burns lots of calories but we make sure to stay well-fueled throughout the week! We’ll watch a surf movie and talk about our highs of the day, as well as discuss everyone’s goals for the following day.
DAY 4:
After a night of dreaming about surfing, it’s time for another early morning dawn patrol! You’re starting to get in rhythm with the early morning routine, as you realize the surf bug has officially bitten you. You have a better understanding of wave shape, wind direction, and rip currents from our interactive daily seminars, which improves your water skills and helps you become a more well-rounded surfer. Following lunch, we’ll head to 50 South Surf Shop to check out their boards and surf gear. After 50 South, it’s back to the waves for another session!
DAY 5:
This morning you wake up ready to charge it again! The amount of fun you’re having allows you to push beyond any soreness you may be experiencing because you know you are just getting stronger and more skilled. Before hitting the waves for another full day of shredding, we’ll do some stretching to work out the kinks. At the end of the day, while watching the sunset, you’ll think of all the amazing stories you have to tell when you return home. We’ll share some laughs as we vote on the wave and wipeout of the day, and instructors will lead another session of video analysis.
Day 6:
Thursday rolls around, friendships that have been forming throughout the week are well-solidified, and you’re preparing to enjoy your final day of surfing (until next time!). Today, your instructors will help you achieve the final goals you’ve set for yourself, ensuring that you leave WB Surf Camp having had the most fulfilling surfing experience. As the sets roll in, you’ll be thinking of ways to talk your parents into letting you come back to WB Surf Camp this summer! We’ll wrap up the day with a fun mock surf contest where everyone wins! After a full day in the water, we’ll celebrate our final night at Shaka Taco. Once back at our house, we’ll review highlights, pictures, and videos from the week, all while trading contact information. Smiles fill the room as we reflect on how this has been the best Spring Break ever!
Day 7:
It’s time to say goodbye, but not forever as you have already made plans to get together this summer at WB Surf Camp! You’re stoked about all the good times and everything you’ve accomplished. Your surfing has become solid, your water stamina has increased, and you are ready for more! We’ll enjoy one last breakfast together before parting ways. Spring Break has been a life changing experience that you’ll never forget!
Reviews
Chandler, Raleigh, NC – “WB Surf Camp is really fun, and you get to meet new people from all over. The counselors are really energetic and fun, and they teach you a great surfing technique that will fit you. You’ll be out in the water all the time, having the greatest time, and doing the greatest thing ever — surfing at SURF CAMP!”
Zack, Lansing, MI – “My favorite part was being able to get back in the water after so long, and I had lots of fun riding the shorter boards.”
Sophie, West Branch, IA – “I had such a great time! I had wanted to learn how to surf since I was a little kid, and doing it with WB Surf Camp was amazing. I really improved my skill while having a ton of fun. The Instructors were hilarious and cool, the other kids were a lot of fun, and the places we ate were yummy. The experience was very positive, especially because I was a bit apprehensive going into it. It was a great week, I wish it had been longer.”
Samantha, Rye, NY – “WB Surf Camp was an amazing experience for me. It really helped me develop a passion for surfing and for the ocean and the life within it. The counselors were very helpful and encouraging, and every time I fell down they would tell me what I was doing wrong and what I was doing right, and what I needed to change about my ride and position to catch the next wave. Being without access to the outside world really changed me. WB Surf Camp motivated me to get active and ditch my television, as well as spend less time on the internet and less time with my phone. I also became very close with the other campers. I would really recommend this camp for everyone.”
Kristen, Chesterfield, VA – “It was awesome! I loveeed surfing all day, every day with my friends. All the instructors were awesome and we all got along great. They knew a ton about surfing and the ocean, which was awesome to learn. My favorite part was definitely just improving. I look forward to getting a new board, which I probably wouldn’t have been able to get, without my experience at WB Surf Camp. Mahalo!!!!”
Frequently Asked Questions

Our program’s dynamic curriculum is tailored for both beginner through advanced surfers. The only prerequisites are to be ready to have the time of your life and be able to swim.

- Surfboard tour/talk and discounts on shopping at 50 South Surf Shop.
- Interactive daily seminars about topics such as wave dynamics, swell prediction, and environmental awareness.
- X-Box 360, pool table, horseshoes, bocci, volleyball, and other beach games.

Will there be pictures of me surfing that you provide?
Yes! One of our professional photographers will be on the beach each day snapping photos of all the surf and capturing the camp throughout the week! All photos will be uploaded onto our Facebook into a photo album at the end of each day. In addition, our instructors will be taking some photos throughout the week as well. If your camper wants to snap their own photos, we highly recommend that they bring their own camera if they prefer.
What are the ages of your overnight campers?
Ages range from 12 to 16.
How old are the campers I will be rooming with?
Roommates are grouped together by age and gender in order to enhance the overall level of comfort.
What is the nearest Airport and do you have a shuttle service?
The Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is only 45 minutes away. Our counselors meet inbound campers at baggage claim, and transport everyone to our house. For departing flights, counselors stay at the airport until each camper’s flight has taken off. Our office stays attuned to any delays or cancellations to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
What if I can’t get in by the set check in time?
Please contact our full time Program Manger to discuss arrivals and departures outside of our preferred times. In order to avoid missing any planned activities, campers should try to get in by 1pm-3pm on the first day and leave by 9am-11am on the last day of camp.

We recommend campers bring $50 to $100 for the week. This is for souvenirs or gifts they wish to purchase.

Absolutely ! Campers may bring their own surfboards. Our team will help you get set up and ensure your board is ready for daily sessions.
