Pure Stoke Surf Camps

Surf Camp - Kids Program

The Pure Stoke Youth Program provides a safe, fun environment, utilizing the healing energy of the beach and ocean in which these young victims can find an outlet to help them deal with the stress of a family member with cancer or other modern day struggles of children. Our program involves a day at the beach with other children who are facing similar situations. The day includes surf lessons and all equipment as well as “fun” beach activities in setting of a non-intimidating environment staffed by supportive instructors and counselors.
