"This is one of the best local surf schools in San Diego. They focus on teaching kids respect for the ocean and each other, surfing etiquette, and taking care of the beach . No other camps we've tried have offered this holistic experience with beach and surf culture ."

"I really appreciated the lessons on keeping the beach and ocean clean and doing this through picking up litter each day! A great way to help instill responsibility to the kiddos while still having tons of fun surfing and playing beach games! Thank you!"

"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! 🤙"

"I LOVED that I caught a lonnnng wave and Ms Jenn helped me every day! Oh, and I made a lot of new friends like Page! Mom, when can I go back?" -Stevie, age 5.

 

"I can't compliment Ocean School enough! My daughter learned all about surfing, respecting the ocean and the beach at an early age. For that, I thank you! Jenn's communication and flexibility for a busy Mom was outstanding and I always felt safe dropping my 5 year old off at the beach with her!"

"This is my 6 year old's second season with Ocean School and he absolutely loves it! He loves to surf and just have fun with the group. My husband and I love Jenn and Orlando's energy, and that they are teaching the kids more than just surf skills. Each session the kids learn about ocean safely and how to keep the ocean clean. They also engage in a variety of beach games and social activities. My son has developed some great friendships from Ocean School. If you want your child to learn love and respect for the ocean and have a great time with friends, Ocean School is the place to be!"

"Wylee absolutely loves Ocean School! We have had him in many camps that he enjoys, but eventually tires of. He ALWAYS wants to go to Ocean School! Jenn and Orlando make water safety the highest priority. It is a small group of kids, so they really get to know each other and feel comfortable. Wylee's surfing has improved exponentially with the gentle encouragement and guidance from Jenn and Orlando. Their patience and kindness allow the kids the freedom to explore new things with curiosity and enthusiasm. Wylee learns about respecting the environment and proper surf etiquette. We cannot recommend Ocean School enough - we absolutely LOVE Jenn and Orlando and we are so very grateful for them!"

"Ocean School is the place I WISH I could go when I was a kid! The amount of love and detailed activities Jenn and Orlando put into, is truly unmatched. Everything from body awareness, sustainability, ocean knowledge, to expressive art is one of a kind... Truly an AMAZING community they are building! Your child would be so lucky to come here!"
