SUMMARY:PURE STOKE SURF CAMP Surf Camp - Kids Program
DESCRIPTION:The goal of our program is to recognize and provide support to what we believe is an often overlooked group of cancer victims: adolescent and teenage children whose family members are going through the cancer fight. \nAlthough children who are living with family members fighting cancer and who are old enough to understand the consequences of their parent’s plight are generally overlooked by the medical cancer support community. These young secondary victims are usually not able to attend office visits and therefore do not feel part of the team. They can have a sense of helplessness as they see the pain and suffering of their parent going through the cancer battle. They are also witness to the emotional strain of the other parent who is trying to support their sick spouse. \nThrough other cancer resource centers\, youth group support programs have been developed\, but are largely unsuccessful due to lack of attendance. To those involved\, it became very clear that most kids do not want to sit in a room at the resource center talking about their feelings. \nThe Pure Stoke Youth Program provides a safe\, fun environment\, utilizing the healing energy of the beach and ocean in which these young victims can find an outlet to help them deal with the stress of a family member with cancer. Our program involves a day at the beach with other children who are facing similar situations. The day includes surf lessons and all equipment\, ocean and marine biology education as well as “fun” beach activities in a setting of a non-intimidating environment staffed by supportive instructors and counselors. Repeat sessions are encouraged and each year we have many students build lifelong friendships through the program. \nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\n\nAll camp details will be sent by email (after your application is accepted).\nThe program will provide participants with wetsuits and gear the day before their lesson.\nWe typically meet on the beach in front of the SeaCrest Hotel in Pismo Beach at 9 A.M. beginning with yoga warm up and brief instruction.\nLunch is provided on the beach!\n\nUPCOMING DATES\nSessions are regularly scheduled on the third Saturday of every month beginning in March and will run through November\, but check our calendar for exact dates. \nDates for 2021: \n\nOctober 2 (Same Day as our Longboard Surf Contest)\nNovember 20\n\nCAN’T SWIM?\nWe can set-up free swim clinics for kids of all ages.  If you would like more information on these clinics please contact us! \nCONTACT US\nClick Here if you have any questions\, or would like to speak with a representative of the Pure Stoke Surf Camp.
