The YMCA Surf Camp is internationally known for its incredibly fun and well-organized youth programs. Children of 8 to 17 years from the local San Diego area and as far away as Japan and Germany, come to surf, camp, rockclimb, learn archery and practice team-building exercises from June through August. Located adjacent to an endangered wetland habitat, the location is excellent for the teaching of environmental science. Some programs allow fathers to attend the camp with their sons or daughters, and others are child-focused.
