I love surf camp so much Colby and Will taught me so much and got me to catch so many waves

WB Surf Camp is our best investment of summer 2022. Our instructor Jacob was great for my 15yo and 12yo kids, and I'm relying on their comments to make this review. Jacob made sure the kids mastered one skill before he introduced the next, and guided them to make their own choices about which waves to try. He offered really constructive advice as they learned balance and got their footing. He was enthusiastic, and he was just as excited as the kids were when they stood up for the first time. The kids had a great teaching experience, AND they caught some good waves! In addition, I really appreciated that the instructors check the conditions before lessons and making sure it was a safe environment to learn to surf for the first time. When an offshore storm made the conditions too rough for first time surfers, Jacob recommended we wait a day, and WB Surf Camp was able to adjust our lesson times to ensure everyone would have a safe and fun time in the waves. I felt confident entrusting my kids' in their care. We highly recommend Jacob and WB Surf Camp! read more

I wanted to give a big shout out to WB Surf camp for everything they did to try and make the camp work this summer for my daughter. After attending the summer of 2019 and having the best time, she could not wait to go again in 2020. Alas, COVID restrictions between Illinois and North Carolina make it impossible to happen, but the staff was very professional and courteous in trying to make things work out. You really find out a lot about a business during the hard times, and WB Surf did everything they could to make it work out. She is so looking forward to next year. read more

"WE LOST OUR SON TO NC BECAUSE OF WB SURF CAMP!" AND WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. Why have we lost our son? Because now that he has experienced the ocean, he has blossomed and has now changed his life plans....he will be applying to UNCW in two years. Why is that a problem? We live in MISSOURI! I guess it's time to fix up the house and polish our resumes, so we can move to North Carolina near him. When you find something that is *so right*, you gotta tell other people. THIS is one of those *so right* things. AMAZING. FANTASTIC. KID-CENTERED. EDUCATION-ORIENTED. SAFE. TREND SETTING. THRILL SEEKING. LIFE CHANGING. BREAKAWAY. The counselors at the WB Surf Camp have each week's curriculum fine tuned to provide an intense experience for the children. It's a beautiful mix that includes considerable surf time, thorough pre-surf instruction, substantial personal contact, important interactive social time, moderated inclusion groups, planned off-site trips, and even activities that made camp food edible (HA!). It's *so right* that I'd like to pose a challenge to you. If at all possible, put away $100 per month. Forego Starbucks or a couple of dinners-out. Be disciplined. When it comes time to pay for this camp, it won't hurt as much because you'll have most of the money already saved. This isn't a cheap camp. But, nor is it some gym camp that has the children tossing basketballs for an hour, swimming with a bunch of other bored kids, then sitting in front of a computer until parents pick them up (I've worked those camps as a counselor.....you know it's the most brand recognized non-profit on the planet). This camp is the REAL DEAL. This is hands on, personal, fist clenching, pure grit steep learning curve stuff. Then it's accomplishment, camaraderie and satisfaction. Jeff, our child's counselor, even personally phoned us and gave us his cell phone number, so we could stay in contact. WE have been saving $100 per month since he got back. He's going to return to the next level camp next year. Having lost our son to the ocean and to North Carolina college because of the rad, hip, cool (sorry, those are the words I use) counselors isn't such a bad thing. Nothing wrong with Missouri, but when I visit him during summer and spring breaks, it'll be near the beautiful ocean. And drinking a margarita on the beach will add a whole new dimension to Parent's Weekend. read more

I just returned home from the adult women's surf camp in Wrightsville, NC. There were 13 students to the 5 instructors (Mike, Ben, Katie, Grace, Kevin), and Jennifer was the Yoga Instructor. We were up and out the door by 8am every morning. Because of the weather they were unable to keep to the schedule we were issued, but we were guaranteed to be exhausted by the time dinner was over. Everyday we surfed for a minimum of 2 hours (choppy conditions), to 4 hours (glassy). We visited the Sea Turtle Hospital and surf shop, surfed Masonboro Island, evening in downtown Wilmington, dinner out every night, yoga everyday, and we stayed on the beach in Wrightsville (Shell Island Resort). Grace was my instructor. She was very patient and informative. Really seemed to enjoy her job. The team was very nice, fun to be around, and patient. Thank you for everything. I had a blast! read more
