By 9 AM the cars were steadily rolling into Hobuck camp
ground in Neah Bay on Saturday. The kids
climbed out - many already in swimsuits - excited to participate in the surf camp
put on by Warm Current. Some kids
remembered surfing with us last year and were back for another go!
The whole crowd did some warm-up and stretching before
learning the surfing basics and safety.
Things got pretty silly as we practiced paddling in the sand. We also did a little beach clean up - it seems there is always garbage to pick up at the beach.

And then we all got in the water - the kids did great and really showed off how quickly they
can learn surf skills!
Some kids were more hesitant than others...
But some were ready to stand up!

Getting kids stoked about playing in our ocean was a success! Their smiles were big- and we hear they'd like to have even more surf camps.

Volunteers from all over Washington and
Oregon arrived the night before the surf camp to get to know each other- we
hope you can join us next time!
