Elation Surf Camps runs surf sessions at 30th Street Beach, Avalon's main surfing beach, with a three-day camp Tuesday to Thursday and a five-day camp Monday to Friday, each running two hours a day from 10 AM to noon; an afternoon 1 to 3 PM option is also offered. Camps run weekly from mid-June to the end of August and each surfer is provided with a surfboard, wetsuit and instruction. Sessions are short daily blocks rather than a full camp day.

★★★★★B WCharlie aka Cheddar was very patient and highly encouraging with my two kids, one of which was able to stand up on only his third wave! We'll be sure to request Charlie next time we return to Avalon!
★★★★★Ben TrajtenbergCan’t say enough good things about the staff, the equipment (nice wetsuits and good boards), their attention and commitment, and the value received for the price. Highly recommend! Our 6 year old definitely required a lot of attention and they really provided it.
★★★★★Anna Vickerselation is easily the best surf camp in the jersey shore. i love the community and all the instructors, including catherine, lynn, luke, owen, and harry. every worker/ instructor is always finding ways to better your surfing skills no matter the conditions of the waves. 🤙🤙
★★★★★David VickersLoved the camp been going to it for 3 years now and all the workers are so nice. I have had multiple instructors, including Owen, and Luke both were amazing instructors and really helped me start my surfing career
★★★★★Leslie GreenLoved my experience at Elation! I took a 1hr private lesson with Catherine and had so much fun learning beginning surfing. I’m 41 yo and had never tried surfing before, and Catherine taught me what I needed to know to get started. We were in the ocean for an hour and I caught 8 waves (but not staying on the board every time!). Catherine was a kind and patient teacher and I’d definitely recommend Elation to anyone looking for a fun time in Avalon.
