New Wave Youth Surf Camp: A WEEK OF LEARNING AND SURFING
We created New Wave Youth Surf Camp to continue promoting your child’s potential through the power of the ocean. Designed for children and teenagers aged 7–15, our camp combines the excitement of surfing with a strong educational foundation centered around understanding and respecting the sea.
Led by experienced instructors from Atlantic Surf School, your children will learn much more than just how to ride waves — they will develop a deep understanding of surf conditions, ocean awareness, sea life, water safety, and potential hazards.
Each day is carefully structured to build confidence, improve skills, and introduce new ocean-related topics, guiding their journey step by step. Our goal is to ensure every child feels comfortable, capable, and safe in the water while having an unforgettable experience.
Benefits
In addition to daily surfing lessons, our program is designed to give children a complete and enriching ocean experience. Throughout the week, participants will deepen their understanding of wave formation, surf conditions, ocean awareness, water safety, sea life, and environmental responsibility. We combine action, education, and fun to create a meaningful learning journey both in and out of the water.
Our week-long program runs Monday to Friday during July and August. Parents have the option to join the camp as surfers, stay and watch from the sand, or leave their children in our expert care with full confidence. After each day’s session, kids can enjoy warm showers at the Surf Centre, keeping them comfortable and ready to enjoy the rest of their day.
At the end of the camp, each participant will receive a diploma signed by Atlantic Surf School’s manager, Zuhé Coronil. This certificate reflects their learning achievements and marks the completion of an educational program that promotes water safety, environmental awareness, confidence, and personal growth.
Our coaches are certified by the Irish Surfing Association, Water Safety Ireland, and fully compliant with Child Protection standards. All instructors are Garda vetted.
Secure your child’s spot today for a summer of surfing, education, and unforgettable memories.
What Our Clients Say
Fantastic experience led by surf instructor Zuhe. Nice thick 4mm winter wetsuits made for a surprisingly warm surf, a thorough focused lesson was delivered before entering the water. After the lesson changing rooms and warm showers were made available in the state of the art National Surf Centre located beachside. I Wholly recommend this school for any visitors!
Killian O
This surf school is very professional & the instructors are passionate, enthusiastic and great teachers. My child had such a great time at surf camp he wants to go back surfing every day, all day. I can't recommend Atlantic Surf School enough. Strandhill is also a great place to learn with great facilities.
Michaela Louise
This was our 3rd time surfing with Zuhe and the Atlantic surf school and it was so much fun. Zuhe and Yusa are great teachers and have so much patience. You can see they really love their job. We went for my daughters birthday last year and when asked again what she wanted to do this year for her birthday straight away she said surfing. I would highly recommend zuhe and his team.
Lucina D
From the moment I made contact with Zuhé about surf camp for my son Finn my mind was at ease. These guys really care about the people they are coaching, Zuhé, Marianna and all the team are excellent at their jobs. The drumming added an extra layer of fun to the week. Would highly recommend this team, thank you again for creating a memorable summer for us. We’ll be back!
