SURF CAMP INFORMATION

WHAT TO BRING:
Swimming Costume
Towel
Sun-block (min. SPF 15)
Sun hat
Water / Reusable water bottle
(Full camp) Lunch or money for lunch - Hot lunch bookings will be taken on the first morning of camp
A snack / snacks
Warm clothing and suitable wet weather gear
If your child has their own wetsuit, it's well worth bringing it
Please bring everything in a suitable water resistant bag or plastic tub
If they have their own surfboard, they may bring it when their instructor advises them to do so (quite often we like to spend the first couple of days coaching them on a swell board, to enable them to improve their technique)

LUNCH (full camp only) :
We provide hot lunch served by Le Braye Cafe, kids will have a choice of four options each morning before class starts. This is for an additional cost of £40 per week. Alternatively, your child should bring a packed lunch.

BEACH SAFETY LESSONS AND SURF LIFE SAVING:
We teach two lessons on beach safety every day. We believe that everyone who spends time in the ocean should have a basic knowledge of beach safety. We will also spend at least one session teaching surf lifesaving in the water; learning how to affect a basic rescue etc. Again, this is vital information for those who are looking to continue surfing.

LACK OF SURF: As much as we would love the surf to be perfect 365 days of the year, it isn’t. However, it is very unlikely that we will get a whole ‘surf-less’ week. We aim to spend as much time in the surf as possible, so if we have a flat day, we will usually teach surf life saving, beach safety etc on this day, giving us more time in the surf when it does arrive!

BIG SURF: We do not put anyone in the surf if we believe it may be dangerous.

BAD WEATHER: Much like the surf, there is not much we can do to control the weather. Again, we aim to work our schedule around bad weather. We use dry weather areas in the bunker as well as erected marquees when it is not suitable outdoors, but we expect surfers to turn up with the appropriate clothing / wet weather gear. There are not many weather conditions we cannot deal with. Usually the sea is the best place to be if it is pouring with rain! The only times we will cancel due to bad weather are:
Wind over a force 6
Predicted thunderstorms
Torrential rain predicted for the whole day
If we are unsure about the weather conditions, we will inform you the day before. However, we do not want to cancel if there is a possibility that the weather may change. We arrive at the beach at 07:30am and will phone as soon as possible if we have to cancel.

CANCELLED DAYS: If for any reasons stated above we have to cancel a day of camp, we will give each surfer a voucher for the day they have missed. They can use it during the summer if they wish as part of a group session/junior programme or join in on our ‘extra Summer Camp’ days that we leave open at the end of the holidays. It is up to the customer to rearrange a time that suits them. Please note that we are unable to give refunds.

OUR STAFF: All of our instructors are ISA or equivalent qualified coaches and SLSGB or equivalent lifeguards. We follow a strict set of guidelines set by the ISA as well as our own N.O.P.

SNAPSHOTS: From time to time our coaches use a camera to capture images of the day’s events. These photos are used on our website and for our marketing. Should you wish not to have photos taken of your child, please write to the Jersey Surf School prior to the programme’s start date.

PLACEMENT: Places cannot be confirmed unless a completed registration form and full payment have been received.
