At WB Sur Camp, our sta consists o certied sur instructors and camp counselors who come

rom all over the world, bringing with them unique experiences, knowledge, and skill sets. All

sta is required to go through our extensive training program prior to the start o each season.

Each instructor has been certied by the American Red Cross in Lieguarding, First Aid, and

CPR or the Proessional Rescuer. Among our sta, we have an Ocean Saety Director, an EMT,

and Wilderness First Responders. All o our employees contribute to over 300 years o surng

experience.

Employment at WB Sur Camp is very competitive. We go through hundreds o applications

each year to ensure we are hiring the best o the best. All chosen applicants must go through

our intense three part interview process, extensive background check, and 500 yard openocean swim test. Founder Rick Civelli plays a undamental role in the hiring and training o each

team member.a d m i n i s t ra t i v e s ta f f



Over the past 17 years, our ounder has been developing a Sur Instructor Certication Program that is the rst o

its kind in North America. This ve tiered system requires instructors to meet strict requirements to receive their

certication. In order to achieve each level, instructors must pass multiple tness tests, including an open oceanswim test and a challenging written exam. WB Sur Camp is also an authorized provider o the American Red Cross

training system, so not only do we hire Lieguard, CPR, and First Aid certied instructors, we are licensed to train

in these areas as well.

Our pre-season team training is designed with the aid o local Ocean Saety experts outside o our organization.

We also collaborate with leading educational authorities to refect the most current ocean saety inormation.

On a weekly basis, all instructors are reviewed by their Director and Assistant Director using a 30 point

inspection. Communication between sta is key to keeping a program running smoothly and reviews are a very

important part o this process.

All sta are either enrolled in an undergraduate program or already hold college degrees. We employ not only

instructors, but mentors who have extensive experience working with teenagers. Our team consists o college

proessors, high school teachers, pro surers, dolphin and animal trainers, marine biologists, and graduate

students. Passion or the environment is something that is elt by all o us at WB Sur Camp, which is why most o

our sta have degrees in the marine or environmental sciences. We set the bar very high or our team in order to

provide a learn-to-sur summer camp experience unlike any other.

What motivates our team is not only a love of surng and

sharing this love with teenagers, but also our desire to instill in our campers a need to protect the delicate ecosystemin which we all live.

As we explore Caliornia’s diverse coastline, we’ll experience dierent breaks and become moreknowledgeable on all aspects o surng. Whether you come to this program never having stepped on a surboard or havesome experienceand want to improve your skills, you will leave with a newound appreciation or surng and the ocean.

This adventure travel program, set against the backdrop o the majestic Central Coast, will transport you to a whole newworld.

At the world amous Monterey Bay Aquarium we’ll see some o the600 local species o plants and animals including the adorable rehabilitated sea otters. Being a surer is not just aboutlearning how to sur. It is about developing an appreciation or the marine world and becoming an ambassador or ouroceans, which is why we will be working alongside local organizations on an environmental service project.

What sets this incredible camp apart rom the other camps we oer is the sense o adventure it oers by combining aweek o lodging in rustic log cabins with a week o camping along the dynamic, pristine coast in extra large two-roomtents. S’mores and a crackling campre each night are enhanced with stargazing into a crisp clear night sky with very littlelight pollution. You’ll fall fast asleep to the sounds of the waves off in the distance and dream of surng the clean Pacic

rollers. Our lodging at Camp Ocean Pines, nestled in 13 acres o Monterey Pines that meet the shoreline, provides an

amazing setting to begin or end a day o surng. Designed with renewable resources in mind, their passive solar cabinsare a unique blend o wood milled rom wind allen trees and straw bale construction.

“I had the best time ever at WB Surf Camp. The thing thatmade it such a great trip was the fact that the counselors

were always so positive! Also, I can say that I may havenever done so much in a week. The entire trip was a blastand I will denitely be returning next year.”

- Hayden from Mount Pleasant, SC

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouseis nicknamed the

“Wave Magnet.”Come surf it with us!



This camp is based in Cape Hatteras, an island that links the chain o barrier islands known as

the Outer Banks. “Hatteras” is an East Coast mecca or both beginner and proessional surers.

The tip o the cape is geographically positioned at the eastern most point on the continental

shel giving the Outer Banks the most consistent sur on the eastern seaboard. The Cape

Hatteras Lighthouse was built in 1870. Nicknamed the “Wave Magnet”, the lighthouse is many

things; the tallest in the country, a national icon, and a historical landmark that used to warn

sailors to stay back rom the same shallow sandbars that we love to sur!

While WB Sur Camp caters to the absolute beginner, Cape Hatteras is a great place or

intermediate surers to improve their skills, as dierent breaks oer waves or varying abilitylevels. Campers learn how to predict, select, and judge waves, while discovering why some

breaks are better than others.

We surf miles of beautiful golden sand beaches including

Avon, Buxton, Rodanthe, Frisco, and Kitty Hawk.

As in all o our programs, campers learn about the amazing coastal ecology o this dynamic

string o barrier islands. The warm Gul Stream and the cold Labrador Current converge at the

Outer Banks, creating an amazing ecosystem rich in diverse marine lie.

We will visit the Army Corps o Engineers’ Field Research Facility, an internationally recognized

coastal observatory, to learn how oceanic events are measured and how marine lie is aected

by beach erosion and dune rebuilding. As with many coastal communities in the US, the Outer

Banks is in need o volunteers to help with beach cleanups, oyster bed renourishment, and

other environmental restoration projects. We will work together on one o these projects, with

campers earning 5 community service hours.

Tuition includes: lodging in air-conditioned cabins at the KOA Campground, all meals (rom lunch

on the rst day to lunch on the last day), 24-hour same-gender adult supervision, activity ees,

equipment (surboard rentals and rashguard usage), 3:1 ratio proessional surng instruction,all transportation including pickup and return to Wilmington International Airport (ILM), WB Sur

Camp T-shirts, Surticate o Achievement, and memorable group photo. WB Sur Campers are

responsible or round trip airare to the Wilmington International Airport (ILM), transportation

to Wilmington, NC, or to the KOA Campground.

This ourteen day adventure oers teens the chance to learn how to sur

on the incredible island o Oahu. Oahu is one o the most treasured

o the Hawaiian Islands. Honolulu, Waikiki, and the amous North

Shore are all located here. Sur Campers will be instructed on surng

technique and etiquette in a un and supportive environment, learning

the skills and methodologies to continue on a path o surng and

ocean exploration. This is a learn to sur adventure, so no prior surng

experience is required. During the summer, Oahu’s warm-water waves

are stomach-high and perect or beginners.

Oahu has a very rich history; it was the rst Hawaiian island spotted

by Captain James Cook in 1778 and is home to Pearl Harbor where

the inamous attack that propelled the United States into WWII was

staged. Campers will learn all about the island’s history, geology, and

ecology while surng the best beginner breaks on Oahu. We visit

world-amous surng beaches including Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and

Sunset Beach. In addition to surng, we’ll snorkel amazing coral rees,

hike the Diamond Head Crater, tour the Waikiki Aquarium, and take an

outrigger canoe ride. We’ll experience an authentic Hawaiian luau on

a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center where we’ll east on traditional

Hawaiian oods like taro rolls and haupia.

22

Hawaii is a top lming location

for blockbusters like

Soul Surfer, Blue Crush, and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Giving back to the local community is a priority in all o

our programs. We will work on an environmental service

project where each camper will earn 10 community service

hours. At the end o our un, sur-lled days, we’ll make our

way home to the University o Hawaii at Manoa where

campers stay in comortable double occupancy dorms.

This beautiul 320-acre campus is nestled in a residential

neighborhood in Honolulu, less than three miles rom the

coast.

Tuition includes: lodging, all meals (rom dinner on the rst

Things to consider about litter

• Litter has severe environmental consequences. It eventually makes itsway into local waterways, creating the potential or severe environmental

contamination.

• Litter isn’t just ugly, it’s toxic! Once exposed to the elements, plastics begin tobreak down and both release toxins and absorb them.

• We are what we eat. I they become small enough or even look similar toanything in the ood chain, they become part o the ood chain rom thesmallest to the largest creatures in water, air, or on land. We then becomeexposed through the ood we eat and other creatures suer rom both thephysical and chemical nature o our trash.

But don’t worry, there is nowasted time, as we re-energize while learning new skills and exploring new cultures.

What are the ages o your overnight campers? Am I too young or old to attend one o yourprograms?

having ound new riends rom all over the world! To date we’ve had teens visit us rom 46

US states and 20 dierent countries.

How strict are your rules?

During orientation on the rst day o your program, your Trip Leader will explain what ourrules and policies are and the consequences i they are broken. To ensure the saety andenjoyment o all participants and sta, i any rule is broken, the camper is sent home at theparent’s expense.

How can I get in touch with my son or daughter i needed?

Our campers stay very busy during their WB Sur Camp adventures. At this criticaldevelopmental age, we nd it is best or teens to ocus on what is going on around them,make riends with their ellow campers, and be immersed in surng, learning, and having ablast! For this reason, expect minimal phone communication rom your camper while he or sheis at camp. We make sure each camper checks in with their parents when they arrive, but cellphones are collected at the start o the program and returned on the last day. Our ProgramCoordinator will be sending e-mail updates throughout the program, so you can expect to

hear news about your teen’s adventure rom our headquarters. A cell phone number will beprovided should you need to reach our sta in the event o an emergency.

WB Sur Camp is completely independent and privately owned, so we

are unded only by our own success. The better we perorm, the more

we can ulll our mission statement o environmental conservation. We

also know that when it comes down to it - no matter what kind o dierence we want to make as a company, and no matter how much

you share those values - i our camps are not both educational and

exciting, we are not living up to our ullest potential.

We believe in integrating philanthropy into our company culture

and make giving back to social and environmental endeavors a

undamental part o our organization. Each year, we adopt a amily

through Cape Fear Community College’s Holiday Helpers program.

Our entire team participates, working together to provide a joyous

holiday experience to a amily in need. We initiate a clothing drive in

the winter to gather new and gently used clothing or donation to a

local shelter. A percentage o each camper’s tuition is donated directly

to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital, an amount that totals over

$36,500 to date.

We eel blessed or the work we do or a living and know that giving

back is the right thing to do! When you select WB Sur Camp, you

support our eorts to make the world a better place!

• One o our goals is to empower nancially disadvantaged students

by helping them experience physical accomplishment, become

more environmentally conscious, assume leadership roles, and

grow in sel condence.

• In 2011 we awarded over $34,000 in nancial assistance to

amilies in need.

• In our Aloha Charity Camps series, we oered complimentary sur

instruction to Alopecia and Cancer Survivors, Veterans, Teachers,

Moms, UNCW Students, and Sea Turtle Hospital interns.

• We strongly believe that everyone should have the chance to

experience the magic o surng and its connection to coastal

conservation.

“In the summers before WB Surf Camp I went to language schools in England to improve my English. This year I wanted to try somethingdifferent and I had always wanted to learn to surf. Not only did I have an amazing time with great instructors, meeting a lotof new friends, and being introduced to surng but I actually learned much more English in Surf Camp than in the language schools I’ve been to previously.” - Simon from Denmark
