Rashguards

Summer camps: every camper receives a BeachSports rashguard/sunshirt on their first day, and it's worn every day of the program. See our Rashguard Sizing Guide for help choosing the right size.

Holiday camps and classes: no rashguard is included. If your camper has one from a summer camp, they're welcome to wear it. Check your program's packing list above.

What to wear

Girls:

• One-piece swimsuit or athletic two-piece, ideally with no strings or ties that can come undone during swimming or activity.
• Wetsuit top if you have one, especially helpful on cooler mornings early in the season.
• Sweatshirt

Boys:

• Swim shorts that tie at the waist so they don't slide down during swimming or activity.
• Wetsuit top if you have one, especially helpful on cooler mornings early in the season.
• Sweatshirt

Equipment by program

BEACH Program

Definitely bring your own boogie board if you have one. We have lots of boards to share, but bringing your own means you'll always have one during water time and won't have to wait for one to become available. No other special equipment needed. Just come dressed and ready for a day at the beach.

SURF Program

We carry a variety of surfboard sizes and have enough for every participant. That said, it can be helpful to learn on your own board, so bring it if you have one. Hard fiberglass or epoxy boards are welcome, but it will be up to the coach's discretion whether it's safe to use in the session.

• Wetsuits are strongly encouraged for SURF participants since you'll be in the water most of the day. Water temperature is often in the upper 60s early in the season, which can feel chilly until the sun warms up. If you're buying a wetsuit before your first day, we recommend one with long sleeves for added sun protection.

OCEAN Program

No special equipment needed. Just come in your swimsuit and ready for an active day.

• Wetsuits are a good idea for the same reasons as SURF: you'll be spending time in the water, so a wetsuit can be nice, especially on cooler mornings.

VOLLEYBALL Program

No special equipment needed. Just come in your swimsuit and ready to play.

SKATE Program

We have skateboards available, but we encourage participants to bring their own if they have one. Helmets are required and provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own. Knee pads and elbow pads are also provided. Wrist guards are encouraged but not required.
