My son had a GREAT first experience at Ocean School. I signed him up for one day and each day he came back begging to go again. He LOVED coach Orlando. Highly recommend!

I can't praise Ocean School enough. My kids love it. I've never once had to "make" them go like I do with other camps and activities. Miss Jenn and Coach Orlando are awesome people. Always excited and enthusiastic. Their energy and enthusiasm really inspires the kids.

We absolutely loved spending part of our summer at Ocean School. My 5 year old son had the time of his life and loved Orlando and Jenn so much. He has so much more confidence in the ocean and on a surf or boogie board. Such a great experience.

On a family trip to San Diego we took a surfing lesson with Jenn and Orlando. What a wonderful experience! We started with a short jog on the beach, stretching and yoga and then practiced “popping up” on land before heading into the water. Jenn and Orlando were encouraging and supportive during the entire process. I had no experience surfing but was able to stand up on the board with their guidance. I would highly recommend their surfing lessons.

We absolutely loved this camp! My daughter came home everyday happy and couldn't wait to tell us about her day. Highly recommend this camp!

We recently moved to the area and wanted our daughter to try out surfing, but even more importantly, learn about the ocean and how to swim in it safely. Ocean school quickly became the highlight of our week! Jenn and Orlando are so patient, kind, and knowledgeable and did such a great job with a group of kids who just got out of school and could be a little squirmy. I was impressed how quickly my daughter (6) was able to get up on a surfboard. They helped her feel safe and successful and it was a truly joyful thing to watch! They also teach the kids to respect the ocean and our environment, all kinds of facts about nature and to be a kind friend. So many important lessons all while having so much fun. Can’t recommend them enough! Ocean school is cool! 🤙
