Big Wave Runners is a small, adventure-based day camp that combines trail running, hiking, and surfing with fun games and creative crafts to keep kids active and engaged. Campers explore local trails around the Bay Area, building fitness, confidence, and a love for the outdoors in a supportive group setting.
Each day includes a 2 to 4-mile morning run followed by water sports, outdoor games, art activities and nature-based projects. Enthusiastic leaders focus on safety, inclusion, and encouragement, helping campers of different experience levels feel successful and have fun together.
This is a pre-built section where you can add details about specific activity modules, like upcoming Surf Lessons, gear requirements, or special guest instructors.
