Notes: The Camp Pacific program was founded in 1943 as an all-boys' surfing camp. Since then, the program has grown to offer a wide variety of sessions for both boys and girls. The camp's philosophy is to provide a safe and fun environment in which young people can learn and grow

The summer academic session classes are small (generally 6-10 students), and individual participation is required. Subjects offered include math, English, science, oceanography, creative writing, computers, history, Spanish, English as a second language, and various electives. Designated courses may be taken for a semester of high school credit. Afternoon activities, special events, and weekend excursions allow each student the opportunity to take a break from scholastic responsibilities and experience lasting friendships and fun.

At Camp Pacific, campers learn new skills, gain self-confidence, and are encouraged to work with their peers. In the morning, campers are divided into weekly interest groups and are led by a counselor through an activity. In the afternoon, campers participate in daily free-choice recreational activities or sports. Trips to area attractions are offered on a weekly basis. Typical activities include arts and crafts, baseball, basketball, bodyboarding, camp radio broadcasting, capture the flag, clay sculpting, cricket, drama, flag football, Frisbee golf, jewelry making, mask making, painting, riflery, rugby, sand castle contests, scavenger hunts, snorkeling, soccer, surfing, swimming, tennis, tie-dye, Ultimate Frisbee, water polo, and much more

The Surf and Bodyboard Camp is designed for all skill levels, from beginner to intermediate. The session is one week in duration and is full of activities. Group beach instruction, classroom instruction, independent practice, and field trips all combine for a very exciting week of learning. Campers are taught skills in equipment options, wave selection, and basic surf techniques. All activities are supervised by counselors, certified lifeguards, and experienced surfing and bodyboarding instructors. In the afternoons, campers can continue their practice at the beach or participate in the variety of activities enjoyed by participants in the three-week Camp Pacific, listed above.
