2009 Surf Camp Team

At WB Surf Camp, our team consists of certified surf instructors, camp counselors, and a second to none office staff who bring with them unique experiences, knowledge, and skill sets. Every instructor is required to go through our extensive training and certification program prior to the start of each season. All overnight camp instructors must be certified in CPR for the Professional Rescuer, Lifeguarding, and First Aid. Together, our employees have 300 years of surfing experience. Last season we invested over 1,800 hours of professional training into our team to ensure your safe and quality learn to surf experience.

Employment at Surf Camp is extremely competitive. Each year we sift through hundreds of applications to select our elite team! All potential instructors must go through our intense three-part interview process, comprehensive background check, and 500 yard open ocean swim test. Surf Camp’s founder, Rick Civelli, plays a fundamental role in the hiring and training of each Surf Camp team member.

Our staff includes college professors, high school teachers, marine biologists, and graduate students, to name a few. Our mission statement of environmental conservation is shared by all of us, which is why most of instructors have degrees in marine or recreational sciences.
