Camp Olowalu is open to the public, but the particular "cabin" area is directly on the beach, and reserved just for the camp's use! The camp features oceanfront A-frame cabins with three twin beds with memory foam toppers (3 women share each cabin) and shared bathrooms (which are reserved only for our camp use). There are 4 private toilets and two private showers, and one open-air, public outdoor shower. There is also a kitchen and a mess hall with lots of room to spread out or come together!
Program
The experience
Once you arrive in Maui, you’ll be greeted at the airport by friendly staff. After a short shuttle ride, you’ll arrive at the oceanfront A-frame cabin facility, Camp Olowalu, the ultimate setting for your week of adventures. After settling into your cabin and enjoying a light lunch, opening ceremonies will begin where you will meet your fellow campers and staff members, learn the details of your week ahead, and board basics to set you up for success for surfing the next morning.
Each morning, after a healthy and filling breakfast prepared by a private chef, you head a few miles down the road to the designated surf spot for the week. Each day’s surf lesson will build upon the previous one, from learning the basics of how waves are generated and navigating a reef break to perfecting your pop-up and learning how to turn to understanding surf etiquette and becoming self-sufficient at reading waves and maybe even catching them on your own! Every camper progresses in their own time. The professional surf coaching team will be there to support you in feeling more confident in the water at your own pace.
Each day after surfing, you will fuel up on a healthy lunch. After a little relaxing downtime, you will head out for an afternoon activity (will vary depending on the season and the weather). Past activities have included yoga, massages, hiking, snorkeling, stand-up paddling, boat trips, whale watching (in the winter), sightseeing, and giving back to the Maui community through beach cleanups and service projects.
Then it’s back home for an amazing dinner spread. All meals are served buffet style except for one special evening where the team will treat you to a three-course plated dinner! This is when the talents of the camp chefs really shine. After dinner, you’ll have evening activities ranging from fun game nights and karaoke dance parties to chill campfire vibes and surf movies. The camp aims to provide an environment that lets campers take what they need from the experience with a good balance between action and relaxation.
Open to women ages 18+. First timers, beginner, and intermediate surfers are welcome. No experience is necessary, just an adventurous spirit! We look forward to hosting you!

Food
Come for the surfing, stay for the food! It’s been described as ‘5 star-dining on the beach!’ The chef and kitchen assistants lovingly create three meals from scratch daily from fresh and locally sourced ingredients. They keep guests and staff fueled up with nutritious and delicious meals, with ample snacks also available throughout the day. The coffee is hot and ready to go every morning, and there’s a self-service fridge in the dining room with a wide variety of beverages, since it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere! One night each camp, there’s a 3-course, plated gourmet dinner! Meals, snacks, and a selection of adult beverages are included in the camp tuition.

If arriving by plane, please arrive before 3 p.m. on opening day. A staff member will be at baggage claim to pick you up. If your flight arrives later in the evening, you may need to take a ride-share service to camp as they need all staff present for the opening circle. If arriving by car, please be at Camp Olowalu by 3 p.m. for the 4 p.m. opening circle. You do not NEED a car for this camp, as on-island transportation is included in the cost.
If departing by plane, please schedule a departure of (ideally) 11:30 a.m. or later. On closing day, all airport shuttles leave camp at 9 a.m. which gets you to the airport around 9:30 a.m. at the earliest.

On closing day, the last airport drop-off time is at 12 noon.

Please note that if you arrive a day or more before the camp start date or stay after the camp closing date, you will be in charge of your own accommodations for those nights. We can coordinate with you for a pick-up or drop-off in Kahului on opening / closing days.
