Family Surf Camps

Surfing is the perfect sport for a family! We have families that come year after year because it is such a special time together. 40% of our families return to PNS.

Offering all the technical surf coaching and fun of the classic surf camps, family camps just add the extra support to make it possible for mom and dad to be able to shred everyday with their kids and have a moment for a siesta or yoga while the kids hike the waterfall, explore tidal pools, or play a pick up soccer game on the beach. There is plenty of together time on this session, the only thing missing is all the work of decision making, making meals and daily logistics.

Our goal is to offer the highest technical surf coaching in a fun environment. We want everyone in the family to be able to relax and take the work out of vacations that happens when you have kids to organize with meals, childcare, decisions and plans. We look at the forecast, conditions etc to bring you to the best break each day along with tons of toys for the beach and homemade fresh treats etc.

We have activities for the kids when the yoga is going on in the late afternoon so you can chill out in yoga or a hammock for a bit while the kids do any number of things from beach hikes and pick up soccer games on the beach to shell collecting, waterfall walks or walks to town for gelato.

We provide everything so that you and your family can relax and enjoy your vacation!

Family Surf Camps in Costa Rica
“

It takes a lot to motivate a 14-year old girl to travel with her mom and dad. Thanks to our experience at your surf camp, I was able to use surfing as the lure. She’s as excited as I am to get back in the water. It’s the best family vacation we’ve ever taken.

We have been on several family vacations to beautiful places, but have never enjoyed each other and the experience as much as our time at Peaks ‘n Swells.

Thanks to Hilary, Ryan, and their crew, the entire family soon found our stoke - so much so that we returned for a second visit less than a year after our first. We'll be back for a third visit for sure.

PnS surf camp offer the perfect blend of high-energy surfing adventure and the warmth and comfort of a great family's genuine hospitality. I strongly recommend it to families looking for an active vacation far removed from anything resembling a big beach resort. Our experiences at PnS have inspired us to take our surf travel around the world, and we owe Hilary and Ryan for that inspiration.
