Kids Surf & Adventure Day Camps in Hilton Head

Our Day Camp is the ultimate way for young adventurers to dive deep into the island lifestyle. Held on the beautiful beaches of Palmetto Dunes, this 4-hour immersive experience is designed for those who want to master the water—from the waves to the

We start the morning with a surf-style yoga flow to get centered before hitting the Atlantic and learning to hang ten! Whether you’re catching waves on a surfboard or shredding on a boogie board, there’s plenty of saltwater action for everyone.

Boys Camp

Led by lifelong waterman Byron Sewell and his team Native Son Adventures’ Surfer Boys Camp is an action-packed surf and ocean adventure program built to grow confidence, teamwork, and real water skills.

  • Through hands-on ocean time and adventure, boys will:
  • Build confidence through surfing and paddling
  • Learn water safety and swimming skills
  • Learn basic fishing and cast netting techniques
  • Develop teamwork, communication, and leadership
  • Learn to stay calm under pressure and try new challenges
  • Connect with nature and explore our marine ecosystems
  • Master the art of having fun, play, and being kids

Surfer Boys Camp is more than a surf camp—it’s a place for boys to build confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of the ocean through adventure, challenge, and fun.

Hilton Head Surfer Girls

With a lifetime spent on the water, Captain Hannah brings heart, creativity, and real-world ocean experience to Hilton Head Surfer Girls—an empowering, adventure-filled program designed exclusively for girls. This isn’t just a camp; it’s a space where girls are encouraged to try new things, support one another, and grow confident in their abilities both in and out of the water.

During camp, girls will:

  • Build confidence on the water through surfing, paddling, and guided ocean experiences
  • Learn essential water safety, swimming skills, and ocean awareness
  • Explore basic fishing skills, including cast netting and hands-on techniques
  • Strengthen communication skills and form genuine connections with one another
  • Practice teamwork, encouragement, leadership, and supporting others
  • Express creativity through arts, crafts, and imaginative projects
  • Learn how to stay calm under pressure, face challenges, and try new things with courage
  • Connect deeply with nature while learning about marine life and coastal ecosystems
  • Master the art of play, joy, and having fun while being unapologetically themselves

Why the Split?

By separating into girls-led and boys-led groups, we create a specialized dynamic where instruction is tailored, distractions are gone, and confidence is high. It’s about more than just surfing; it’s about finding your power in the water alongside a crew of supportive girls and mentors.

Little Minnows Surf and Adventure Day Camp

Our Groms Surf & Beach Club is the perfect introduction to the Atlantic for our youngest adventurers. Designed specifically for ages 5–8, this 2-hour high-energy session focuses on building water confidence, learning the basics of surfing, and falling in love with the island lifestyle. We keep the groups small and the energy high to ensure every “Grom” feels safe and stoked!

Itinerary

The 2-Hour Adventure

  1. Grom Yoga & Beach Games: We start on the sand with a kid-friendly yoga flow and fun movement games to get the wiggles out and the muscles warmed up.
  2. Surf & Splash (The Main Event): We head to the water’s edge for our surf lesson! Our instructors specialize in working with little ones, teaching them how to lay on the board, paddle, and catch their very first waves in the shallow “whitewater.” Whether on a surfboard or a boogie board, the goal is 100% fun.
  3. Tiny Treasures & Sifting: After the surf, we cool down on the sand. We use our professional sifters to hunt for “ocean treasure”—fossilized shark teeth and tiny shells—that are perfect for taking home.
  4. Little Eco-Heroes: We wrap up with a “Beach Walk & Talk,” learning about sea turtles and why we don’t walk on the sand dunes. Every camper leaves knowing how to protect the playground!
