When we initially started Carolina Salt, we had no intentions on ever starting summer surf camps or programs. But over the years parents constantly asked me “Why don’t you offer surf camps?” I would simply reply, “quality, safety, and professionalism.” Camps and larger surf groups tend to be dramatically more dangerous and the actual surfing material covered always seems to slip through the cracks. The children never seem to get the knowledge or attention they deserve.
We at Carolina Salt pride ourselves on customer service, professionalism, and most importantly safety. Although we have over 15 years teaching experience, since starting Carolina Salt we have had 0 incidents, 0 refund requested, and a 100% success rate. After only being in business for 6 months we quickly became the #1 rated surf lesson provider by all major travel sites including Trip Advisor and Yelp which we still hold today.
Surf Camps in Charleston SC
Due to our many requests for camps we decided to start a new, unique, and specialized summer program that will allow the “camp” experience, but that maintains our fun detail oriented teaching style and high level of safety. Whether you’re a local or just visiting the Charleston area this program will allow you to have a wonderful, exciting, and safe outdoor activity that will definitely be the highlight of your summer.
SUMMER SURF PROGRAMS
Summer Surf Programs are for ages 7-17 years old and are held Monday-Friday (5 days per week). Total week per student: $385 per week
Location: 1673 E. Ashley Ave on Folly Beach
Time: (Max of 5 Students per time slot):

Why Small Groups for Surf Camps?
Our smaller groups provide a safe and comfortable environment that promotes communication, skill building, confidence, and eases the natural anxiety of large groups.
Weather Policies for Surf Camps
In the event of bad weather or other dangerous conditions we will partake in other surf related activities to ensure safety. As opposed to the camps that either cancel the entire day or take children out into dangerous conditions.
Parking
There is a paid parking lot available for use. Alternatively, you can park on the street as long as both your tires are off the pavement completely, and you don't block a driveway.
