They somehow manage to learn about and care for the animals, do arts and crafts, sing songs, play games, read books and even cook/prep food in just 3 hours! We feel so grateful to have found something so fun and educational that our daughter loves so much :)

Extremely disappointed. Chris cancelled our group lesson 2 hours before the start because his…read moreinstructor was sick. Since we were international travelers leaving the next day, we couldn't reschedule. Chris promised a refund but has been stalling for 5 months now, blaming his booking software 'Peek'. He has stopped responding to emails. If you are looking for a reliable surf school that honors its refund policy when they cancel on you, look elsewhere. Unprofessional and dishonest management.

We emailed to request a lesson for my two kids (15 & 14) and the response was very quick. They scheduled a 2 hour lesson for the next day with Josiah. He was fantastic. He had both the kids up and surfing very quick. I highly recommend them. They were very easy to plan and work with!

And she came back every day talking about how much she loved the camp the instructors and being in the water. She loved it so much that she begged for a second week!! If she had her way she'd go every day this summer. I went and sat on the beach one day and just watched. Camp is run so intelligently and professionally. They even offer pictures at the end of the week from a professional water photographer! Got some priceless pictures of my daughter.

Joanne put her heart and soul into these kids, and making them be the best of they could be. She has great knowledge of horsesand tons of teaching experience in this sport.

My daughter enjoyed the camp, but it was nothing what we expected. First off, the camp is…read moreadvertised as half days for $800 and full days for $1200. What they leave out of their website is that lessons do not continue after the morning (half day) session. Joanne, in a very rude manner, insists they do "horse related things" all day long, but in reality my daughter just played around the barn with another little girl who was still there. The second half of camp is 100% not worth the additional $400. I emailed Joanne and asked for a refund for the second half (minus the one day my daughter did stay), and she didn't even have the courtesy to write me back. The website also says campers will ride both english and western styles, but, once we were there, Joanne herself even told me they do not do both - another thing we paid for and did not receive. On one last note, I did not really appreciate the way she spoke to the campers. Let me first say, I do not think kids should be coddled and I am not a fan of "participation award," but the way she spoke to the kids was rude, demeaning, and belittling. There are several barns next to Joanne and I know the other coaches and trainers at those neighboring barns do not hold her in high regards either. Overall, the camp was not a total bust, but I absolutely wouldn't send my daughter back.

We're incredibly grateful for the coaching and encouragement our daughter has received at American…read moreBeach. The trainers invest so much time and care into each athlete, and it shows not only in skill development but in confidence as well. This season our daughter earned a varsity spot at her high school and was placed in the top pairing for her first match -- a huge milestone that reflects the foundation built during her time at American Beach. She always comes home from practice with stories about what she learned, encouragement from the coaches, and the fun of competing alongside everyone. American Beach didn't just help her improve -- it gave her a genuine love for the sport. We're very thankful for this community and the impact the coaches have had on her both as a player and as a person. Highly recommend to any family looking for great training in a positive, supportive environment.

FUN Kids need to have fun and enjoy themselves. My two kids have come home wanting to go back for more! Yes... they loved it and enjoyed the staff and training instructors. Fun is critical for kids... Yes, they are serious about volleyball but understand that kids needs to have fun! SKILLS TRAINING Our two kids 16 and 14 (boy and a girl), have come home with a better understanding of passing, hitting, serving, blocking, defense, setting, serve/receive, defensive strategy, attack strategy, service routine, serving strategy and more. I can not say enough about this club. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT My kids have come back understanding more about being a good leader. The talks and feedback that the training instructors and staff have given my kids has been so positive. Highly recommend! BOTTOM LINE If you are looking for a volleyball camp for kids who are serious about volleyball, has an element of fun, and is taught by people of integrity and leadership skills... I highly recommend the American Beach Volleyball Club!

My son has done many camps over the years. This is the first one he ABSOLUTELY wanted to go back…read moreto. The pace is chill, there's a disciplined, not regimented, routine with plenty of "non-surfing", wholesome fun (projected movies, games, guitars, skit and talent shows, in the lounge tent). You don't need to have any experience surfing, or you can be a shredder. There's always instructors in the water that are willing to coach you or you can be left to your own talents/whims and do your own thing. They bring the boards as well as lunch all the way down to the beach for the kids and instructors to enjoy (it's a bit of a walk to get down there and I assume it's easier and more convenient to bring the lunch and gear to them). The boards provided are just fine. My son had his own wetsuit and booties so I can't comment on the wetsuits. I grew up in Southern California but we live In Austin, TX. I only mention this because we can't surf in the middle of Texas (generally)! Meaning, zero experience is ok here. There's no pressure to be the best, but there's definitely pressure to have a great time! And they do! The Camp Manager, Bart, is a fantastic guy from Australia that my son loves. He and his team of chill "Counselors" keep a chill vibe that makes this great thing happen. Kudos to Jason and his entire team surf/kid enthusiasts. This camp came at a critical point in my sons life and it made him a better young man. Thank you, Sincerely! Sky and Shai

I just completed a week long adult camp. My first surf experience at 69. I had a great time. Great…read morestaff. In a week of trying in pretty heavy conditions for a beginner and this time of year I never once felt unsafe or unprepared thanks to excellent instruction and help getting that big 9' board out and getting a big shove to catch each wave. I had only boogie boarded before and swam some in the ocean. And the last time I was on a boogie board was maybe twenty years prior. I'm now hooked and shopping for a board. Ethan was my constant coach. We had a small class so the coach/instructor to student was nearly one to one. Everyone on the staff were encouraging and really a pleasure to be around. All the campers were great to meet and talk with, laugh and surf. Great fun. I plan on attending every year. And surfing as much as I can fit in every week.
