KIDS SURF NIGHT/DAY
** Please note the changes to the schedule/times this year
KIDS SURF NIGHT (AND NOW DAY?!) IS LIKE A KIDS SURF CAMP, WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT.
We designed this kids surf night to be flexible and meet the "summer schedules." We'll meet you at the beach with all the gear that you need. Just drop the kids with us, sign the waiver and we'll handle the rest. We started with just nights and now have added some DAY classes on select weeks when the tide is right. We’re feeling it out and seeing how it goes!?
Kids Surf Night / Day takes place Monday-Wednesday night and select Monday-Wed DAYS from mid-June to mid-September. Open to kids ages 8+ who are comfortable in and around the ocean (meaning, they can swim - well).
Ages 8-10: Mon + Wed - Evenings / Tuesday - Days (See Schedule)
Ages 11-14: Tue - evenings / Monday + Wednesday - Days (See Schedule)
Where: Long Beach, Gloucester MA - Cape Ann Motor Inn
(33 Rockport Rd. Gloucester, MA) or Good Harbor Beach (Walkway #1 - Free parking in the lot after 5). The exact time + location depends on the tide. See classes below.
What to Wear: Bathing suit, rashguard, and a wetsuit (if you have one!)
What to Bring: Water bottle, towel + a stoked attitude
COST: $45
SPACE IS LIMITED TO KEEP OUR 4:1 KIDS TO INSTRUCTOR RATIO.
We do ask that you sign up online prior to the session.
** Parents WILL need to sign a waiver when they drop their kids off so please don't jet right away!**
What makes our surf nights different?
Class sizes. We very, very rarely have a ratio of more than 4 kids to 1 instructor. We want to make sure that each participant gets plenty of rides, attention, and has a blast!
Instructors. Like with all of our programs, we require that instructors complete a lifeguard course at the beginning of their tenure with us. There will always be at least one instructor who has been through lifeguard training out in the water. By being safe, we can have more fun.
Representation Matters / BIPOC Community Surf Scholarship: We have 2 Tuesday night spaces (11-14 Y/O) dedicated to BIPOC in our community who want to learn how to surf and might not typically have access to these programs. Please note that these are for BIPOC kiddos only and we will not fill these spaces with other students at this time. If you qualify and are interested in this program, please email us at contact@capeannsup.com with your name, contact info, dates that work for you to get your kiddo(s) to the beach and we’ll get back in touch to let you know which dates are still available!
This service, like all of our services, is weather dependent. Team Cape Ann SUP + Surf will make the call if cancellations are necessary.
“My son has done the Kids Surf Nights 8 or 9 times over the past two summers and I can’t say enough about how well they are run. Dom and his team are always so enthusiastic and truly seem to enjoy what they do as they help the kids learn and cheer them on, which makes it extra fun for both the kids and the parents, watching from shore.”
