Teen Summer Camp

WB Surf Camp is holding registration for teen travel camps with destinations in Hawaii, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Outer Banks of NC, California, Barbados and other worldwide locations.  The summer camps run in seven through fourteen day sessions and are offered to teens ages fourteen to seventeen years old.  Sign up online at WBSurfCamp.com or by phone at 866-844-7873 for sessions being held in June, July, and August.

Wilmington, N.C., June 16 , 2010 – WB Surf Camp is currently holding registration for 2010 teen travel camps with destinations including Hawaii, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Outer Banks of NC, California, and Barbados.  The summer camp sessions feature gorgeous beach locations worldwide with a focus on learning to surf, learning about local cultures, and understanding marine ecology.  All surf camps include community service hours working with local community non-profit organizations.  In addition, teens can expect to gain or improve their surfing skills, understand ocean safety, learn about a new culture, and gain empowerment through confidence in a safe and trusted setting.

Teen summer camps from WB Surf Camp provide professional surfing instruction with a student to instructor ratio of 3:1.  They may also include snorkeling, swimming, hiking, kayaking, local city and town tours, sailing, and community service depending on the camp attended.  These summer camps provide teens the opportunity for adventure, independence, education, and confidence-building all within a safe and supportive atmosphere.

WB Surf Camp was founded in 1995 by surfer and environmentalist Rick Civelli.  Civelli has a background in environmental studies, marine science, and coastal management in addition to a lifetime of surfing.  Surf Camp is a culmination of his life’s work, bringing together his love of surfing with his concern for coastal conservation.  While learning to surf and improving surfing skills is a main focus of the teen summer camps, all campers are introduced to marine science education in an interactive, relevant, and hands-on approach.  They learn the importance of getting involved in the local community, donating community service hours, and will see firsthand how giving back can make a difference in the world.

“Our teen travel surf camps are an empowering and one-of-a-kind experience that incorporate but also transcend the sport of surfing”, says Civelli.  “We’ve spent years building relationships with the local communities at all of our summer camp locations and we’re proud to provide our campers with a personal and direct experience of life in these coastal towns.  They get to see how marine life and ecology directly impact the lives of people in these communities, and learn how important it is to respect, protect, and give back to our environment.  Plus, it’s a ton of fun!”

Teen summer camps are currently enrolling for Hawaii, Bahamas, Barbados, Costa Rica, Outer Banks, and other locations worldwide.  More information is available at http://www.WBSurfCamp.com/camps/camp_teen.asp.

As a surfer, you are always reading, watching and hearing about the winter on the North Shore. The pros are in town, the water is warm, and the waves can get epic at some of the most famous surf breaks in the world (Pipeline, Backdoor, Waimea, and Sunset to name a few..). Although, when I was there, the waves never got to be too huge, it was an unforgettable experience seeing Pipeline break in person. I have been dying to go to Hawaii for as long as I can remember and when I got the opportunity to plan a trip after Graduating from UNCW, I knew exactly where I was going and when: the North Shore of Hawaii, in the winter, over New Years (Waikiki is said to have one of the best New Years Eve parties in the U.S, and I can now say from experience that they have the BEST New Years Eve fireworks show ever!).

Throughout my week stay on the island of Oahu, I crammed in every possible sightseeing/surfing activity that I possible could.  I think I only sat on the beach and relaxed for a total of two hours…on the last day! Some of my favorite activities included snorkeling, surfing Waikiki, seeing an active volcano on the Big Island, surfing my first reef break (I spent most of the time staring down at the reef…it looks so close!), having sea turtles pop up right next to my board, and finally, my all-time favorite memory of Hawaii was dropping in on my first wave on the North Shore at a break called Chuns Reef.

I know that campers travelling to Hawaii with Surf Camp also get to experience an authentic luau, and take a ride in an outrigger canoe, which are two things that looked like so much fun and I wished I had done, so if you are thinking about going on Surf Camps Hawaii adventure I would definitely recommend that you go.  Surf Camp not only has everything planned to a “t” (which I found difficult to do on my own, never having been to the Island), but wealso know about some less crowded surf spots, which is key because Waikiki gets pretty crazy.

Traveling to Hawaii and actually experiencing everything I have been reading about in surf magazines for so long was absolutely amazing and an experience I will never forget. If you are an experienced surfer or someone who is just getting into the sport, I encourage you to visit Hawaii if you can.  You won’t regret it, and you’ll come home with hundreds of great pictures!
