The operational reality
A surf camp week has a lot of moving parts per guest: a bed, an airport pickup, a lesson group at their level, and a note for the kitchen. Run that on a booking tool plus three spreadsheets and every changeover day is a fire drill.
What your day has to balance
- Bed and room capacity across dorms and private rooms
- Instructor ratios for the included lessons
- Transfer vehicle seat capacity for arrivals and departures
- Tide and swell suitability for each group's level
- Rental board and wetsuit stock reserved for the week
How RidgeHQ helps
A camp package bundles the bed and the rental gear and carries add-ons like an airport transfer, while the week's lessons sit in the planner with tide and swell context — so a changeover day is a roster, not a fire drill.
From booking to day close:
Book the week. A guest books a camp package online with any add-ons and pays a deposit.
Hold the bed. The package's accommodation is reserved on the room calendar.
Collect details. Waiver, health questions, and sizes are captured before arrival.
Plan lessons. The week's lessons sit in the planner with tide and swell context.
Run changeover. The room calendar and rosters show who arrives and leaves.
Close the week. Balances settle and revenue lands in reporting.
A whole week in one package
A surf-camp week has a lot of moving parts per guest. Packaging the bed and the gear, and selling extras as add-ons, keeps them on one order instead of a booking tool plus three spreadsheets.
- Booking widget on your own website with live availability, deposit or full payment, and promo codes
- Front-desk POS for walk-ins, rentals, and retail on one basket, with register open and close
- Agent and partner bookings recorded with their commission for settlement
- 0% platform commission on direct bookings
- Camp products bundling accommodation and rental components, with optional or mandatory add-ons such as a transfer
Rooms and lessons that change over together
Room types and units have their own calendar with booking and maintenance blocks; lessons sit in the planner with the forecast. Both read the same orders, so arrivals and departures line up.
- Room calendar with booking, maintenance, and unavailable blocks
- Tide, swell, and wind context on each lesson, with per-activity thresholds
- Overlap checks on instructor assignments
- Email everyone booked on a session from the planner
- Clone a week of sessions forward for the next intake
Guest details before they land
Most changeover stress is information collected too late. Waivers with conditional questions, a medical form, and stored sizes are captured with the booking.
- Per-participant waivers with typed signature
- Conditional questions — for example, ask for allergy details only when a guest says yes
- Equipment sizes stored on the guest profile
- Boards and wetsuits tracked by unit and size
- Changes to a paid package create a credit note
