| Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you have further questions, please feel free to drop us a line, and we'll get them answered! How many people are in a camp? A full camp would consist of 18 people. Students will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. What age are the campers? There are all adult weeks for students 18 years and older. Average age varies from week to week with 30-50 years old common. The mixed age weeks are mostly kids but adults are welcome. Out of 16 campers there may be 3-4 adults. Campers need to be at least 10 years old. Average age is between 12-14 years old. Campers are arranged in tents so that they are in with other kids their age. How many people sleep in a tent? We have requests for adults wanting their own tents, which we can accommodate. Kids share tents with 1-4 total in each tent. What do I need to bring? Although we have extra pads, pillows and sleeping bags, campers are asked to bring their own. We also supply wetsuits and surfboards, but campers can bring their own. Santa Cruz in the summer time can get surprisingly cool from the marine layers, so bring a jacket, pants, couple of sweatshirts and sweatpants. Bring any personal items, medications, t-shirts, shorts, swim trunks/suits, socks, shoes, sandals/flip flops, toiletries, wash cloth, towels (beach & bath), sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, daypack, and flashlight/lantern. Do I have to know how to surf already? No, the camp is actually a good program to get a good foundation of skills. We consider it a week-long intensive session. It's a great way to learn. The majority of campers are more towards novice. Are the kids supervised? Yes, there are adults with the kids at all times at the beach and most of the time at the campground. They have a little time on their own if they want to skateboard around the campground or rent a bike. The KOA campground is very family-oriented with 24-hour security, and the kids are not allowed to go outside the campground. 10:00 pm is curfew and kids are to be ready for bed and checked in to their tent at this time. I'm flying in from out of town, can I arrange for pick-up and drop-off at the airport? Yes; however, there will be an $80.00 charge for round-trip transportation to-and-from the San Jose International Airport (SJC), the closest airport to Santa Cruz. |
