Champ Camp's Boogie Board Camp is designed for slightly older campers (ages 8-14) and is meant to give kids the ultimate wave-riding experience that's barrels of fun! Kiddos will spend their water time in a smaller group so they can hone in on their boogie board skills and gain next-level comfort and confidence, as they ride alongside other kids and coaches full of tricks of the trade. All levels of boogie boarding experience are welcome. However, participants should be able to stand comfortably and wade through the water without holding hands. *BONUS! We have Boogie Boards on hand for campers to utilize, try out, and share with each other throughout their session. However, if your camper has a boogie board that they'd like to bring with them to camp, that's cool too! *Please note that surfboards are NOT allowed* FOLLOW US on Instagram and Facebook!
