Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Q: Does my child have to surf?

A: No. Our camp is designed as an introduction to everything great about the beach and the ocean. We encourage each child

to pursue their particular interest and if that means building sand castles all day, so be it. The only things mandatory in camp are safety, etiquette and following the rules.

 

Q: Can someone other than a legal guardian drop off/pick up my child?

A: Yes... but the legal guardian/s must make it clear to the Ocean Adventures staff beforehand in order to avoid complications.

In other words - we won't let your child go home with someone other than you, without your consent.

 

Q: How do you avoid sunburn while playing at the beach for 7 hours?

A: Three mandatory sunscreen applications per day and proper beach clothing. Sunscreen application is our responsibility and campers learn quickly that they won't be allowed back in the water until their exposed body parts are covered. The tubes of sunscreen/block and lycra rash guards/UV protection garb including wide brimmed hats and sunglasses are your responsibility. Please pack your child with plenty of sunblock and sun protection.  

 

Q: My child gets cold easy, how will you keep her/him warm?

A: We have some spring style short arm and leg wetsuits that usually do the trick during summer. Otherwise we make shivering fish-children play beach games until they're warm again. If your child owns or can borrow a wetsuit please utilize it. We buy old wetsuits if you want to get rid of any.

 

Q: Can I visit my child during camp?

A: Yes! We always encourage parents to come hang out with us at the Lane. Any day of the week just drop by... but don't forget your swim suit!
