    The closest airport is Norfolk, VA, about 2 hours away from camp. If flying in, please plan accordingly with rental cars. Rides may be available if Staff or Virginia Beach chapter members have space, but not guaranteed.

    The Outer Banks is one of the longest stretches of surfable coastline on the East Coast; there are waves up to an hour north of camp and up to 2 hours south of camp. Plan your strikes accordingly, and carpooling from camp is heavily recommended.

    Atlantic Surf Park in Virginia Beach is close to 2 hours or more north. If you plan to surf the park, please try to schedule early slots so you do not miss the afternoon sessions. The entire morning is open until 4 PM.

    What will the accommodations look like?

  • Bunkhouse Cabins – Gender separated – AC & Bathrooms in each cabin
  • Tent/Van Camping in the field – Shower/bathroom facilities provided
  • Local Airbnbs/hotels – Best non-tent options for married couples & families



  • What will the food be like? What if I have an allergy?
    Family-style meals at camp for dinner, quick self-serve grab-and-go breakfast and lunch on your own so you can explore the Outer Banks with new friends and find food near your surf spot.

    Refunds available prior to 30 days out.


    How much does it cost to fly a board?
    Airline Dependant – usually between $30-$100
