On the sun-burnished sand of Hathaway Avenue Beach in Deal, New Jersey, Kids Surf Camp — Full Summer converts nervous first paddles into confident rides. Running June 22 through August 29, this 10‑week, Monday‑to‑Friday program welcomes kids ages 7–15 to a full-summer curriculum of technique, ocean safety, and surf culture. Families register for the full-summer program (total tuition $4,500; $500 deposit required) and can claim 10% off through December 1 with code "NBS2026". Coaching centers on small-group, age- and skill-appropriate instruction: pop-up mechanics, paddling and positioning, wave reading and timing, plus surf etiquette and environmental respect. Instructors supply soft-top foam surfboards, rashguards, select wetsuit sizes, and set up a shaded tent with a cold water jug to keep kids comfortable between sessions. Daily beach games and team-building exercises round out the curriculum, helping campers build confidence in and out of the water. Why Hathaway Avenue? This stretch of the Jersey Shore is one of the area's most consistent, beginner-friendly and accessible surf breaks — a sand-bottom beach break that shapes gentle, rideable waves ideal for learning. The shallow takeoffs and forgiving foam board work make it a safer classroom than exposed reef or heavy point breaks, while open sightlines allow instructors to keep learners visible at all times. The camp is also a local connector. Deal and nearby Long Branch and Asbury Park share a compact surf culture: kids learn not just technique but how to read local conditions and respect other beach users. Expect to see shorebirds and small crustaceans on low-tide sand flats and a coastline shaped by Atlantic swell and seasonal currents that dictate daily lesson plans. Practicalities matter: sessions meet at Hathaway Ave Beach, campers should bring a swimsuit, towel, reef‑safe sunscreen, reusable water bottle and packed lunch. The program emphasizes ocean safety—swim comfort and basic paddling are required—so parents should have kids comfortable in shoulder‑deep water before enrollment. This program stands out because it treats surfing like a summer-long skill progression, not a single-day clinic. Regular coaching over ten weeks accelerates learning, builds bodily confidence, and cultivates safe, respectful behavior in the ocean. For families visiting the Jersey Shore who want a structured, immersive youth program that leaves kids able to catch unbroken whitewater and read a green wave, North Beach Surf’s Kids Surf Camp at Hathaway Avenue is a practical, memorable way to spend the season. Camp meets at Hathaway Avenue Beach and schedules sessions to match favorable tide windows so lessons stay safe and productive. Parents traveling from Long Branch or nearby towns can treat it as a day program; instructors share daily condition notes and progress updates so caregivers see clear improvement in skill, water comfort, and ocean awareness each summer season.

North Beach Surf is a Sea Bright, New Jersey surf and wakesurf provider offering instruction, camps, and guided sessions for kids and adults. The team delivers structured programming including a weekly Kids Surf Camp that combines surfing instruction, ocean safety, team-building games, and guided practice on the local breaks. Camp sessions emphasize wave reading, paddling technique, and rip current awareness to help young surfers develop confidence and basic ocean skills. For wakesurfing, North Beach Surf partners with Eleven to run 1-, 2-, and 3-hour sessions launching from Navesink Marina. These wakesurf sessions feature expert coaching, high-quality equipment, and small group instruction suited to beginners and intermediate riders. Optional add-ons such as drone footage and a recovery package are available to capture and complement each outing. Instruction focuses on safety and skill progression; coaches teach ocean awareness, board control, and proper falling techniques while keeping group sizes small for individualized attention. Sessions operate from well-known local launch points and beaches to provide consistent conditions and easy access for participants. Booking details and schedules are provided per session offering, with age-appropriate programming for campers and flexible durations for wakesurf sessions. North Beach Surf emphasizes a supportive, community-oriented environment where participants build skills, enjoy the water, and create lasting memories. Sessions include pre-activity safety briefings and coaching from local instructors familiar with Sea Bright conditions. Equipment, launch logistics, and age or skill requirements are communicated at booking so families and riders know what to expect before arrival.
