Freedom Surf Camps

Freedom Surf Camps – More Than Just a Surf Camp! Freedom Surf Camps is a community-oriented surf and outdoor adventure program serving kids and teens in Los Angeles, including Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and Manhattan Beach. With over 30 years of surfing instruction experience, we combine surfing, ocean safety, fitness, and outdoor education to help every child build confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy the ocean at their own pace. Our programs welcome beginners through advanced surfers, with experienced coaches, age-appropriate instruction, and a strong focus on safety, teamwork, and personal growth. Beyond summer camp, Freedom offers after-school surf programs, weekend sessions, private lessons, teen programs, and inclusive surf experiences. At Freedom, it's about more than catching waves. It's about building friendships, creating lasting memories, connecting with nature, and getting kids away from screens and into the elements. Our philosophy is simple: Fun, Family & Friendships. The ocean is our mountain. Every wave is an opportunity to learn, grow, and discover what you're capable of. Freedom Surf Camps — Where surfing meets adventure, community, and personal growth! Founded by Gilad Lewandowsky who is bringing over 30 years of surfing instruction experience and a lifelong passion for the ocean, outdoor adventure, and mentoring young people. His mission is to help kids build confidence, develop new skills, form lasting friendships, and connect with nature through surfing and outdoor education. Gilad believes surfing is about much more than riding waves—it's about creating a supportive community where every child can grow, feel included, and discover their potential.
