Liquid Dreams is offering Ride the 5 surf camp for the 5th summer in a row for kids ages 8 to 19! We had a great time with this camp last summer, and we're STOKED to offer it again this year! This camp is designed to teach all 5 wave and watercraft activities LDS has to offer: surfing, boogie boarding, skimboarding, stand up paddling, and body surfing... all in 5 days!

Each day , the Ride the 5 camp will begin at 10 am at our Long Sands location in York, where students will be equipped with wetsuits and surfboards for a 1 - 2 hour morning surf lesson. Following the lesson, the students will break for lunch, and maybe a sandcastle or two... After lunch, students will learn another of the water activities that best fit the conditions that day. Ride the 5 camp will break at 3pm every day, with student pickup at 3:15. Students should bring a pack lunch, bathing suit, towel, and sunscreen.

Ride the 5 camp will have 5 or less students per instructor, with a cost of $495 per student.
