The WSMS Surf Art Camp

At WSMS Camp we focus on confidence, creativity and self-expression with our students. Achieving these through: Rip Current and Water Safety Lessons, Surf Instruction, Ocean Play, Sustainable Arts and Crafts, and Ukulele Lessons. Campers have the freedom of choice to spend time doing what interests them most!

Surfing
Beginner to advanced surf instruction! We supply 8ft soft top boards designed for beginners- equipped with a handle in the middle to make carrying easier, a soft spongy deck, and soft plastic fins- these boards are the safest and most effective way to learn. Although boards will be provided, we encourage campers to bring their own boards so they can progress on what they’ll be surfing on their own time.

Water Safety
Although all kids are required to know how to swim, we will do a brief water safety lesson on rip currents, waves, and spatial awareness (boards, friends, etc.). Aiming to give the kids confidence to feel as comfortable as possible before entering the water. Will touch back throughout the week if necessary.

Art
Using natural muses, we will have a project each week that will aim to teach creativity in the natural world. We aim to show campers how easy it is to make art with natural and recycled objects you can find outdoors or around your home.

Music
Alongside a brief history of the ukulele and its relation to surfing, campers will learn the song of the week. A beginner song aimed to teach basic ukulele chords, strumming patterns, and rhythm. Ukuleles will be supplied for campers, who will split up into partners to help each other learn. Ukuleles and additional lessons available.
