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. Cost includes all necessary equipment, instruction from some of the best watermen in New England, as well as discounts on surf equipment packages. Camps will be offered weekly from June 17 through August 23, with a minimum of 5 students and a maximum of 10 students. Space is limited. Reservations may be made over the phone once our lesson book is available.

Surf camps are offered weekly all summer, from 5pm to 7 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings at our Longsands shop in York beach or at 10am to noon and 3pm to 5pm in Ogunquit. This camp is for ages 10 and up. For $180, students will work on the fundamentals of surfing over the course of 3 days, and will most certainly be RIPPING by Friday. This is our most popular program for those looking for more time in the water than a single 2hr lesson.

Little Rippers Camp is available for beginner surfers ages 6-9 from 8am-9am! Little Rippers Camps are MON-WED-FRI all summer long at our York Beach location.
