FAQ
What is the difference between the full, advanced, and mini sessions?
The main difference between the full and mini sessions is the amount of time we have with campers on the beach. The mini sessions are condensed versions of our full camps without lunch, snacks and a camp contest. We recommend the mini session camps to kids who have had no skimboarding experience at all. Our new advanced session is the same length as a full camp, with the main difference being the mobility of the camp to go where the waves are best and the level of instruction. This camp is only open by invite and to children over 12.
When and where is the camp held?
Check the application or www.alleyoopskimcamp.com Skim Camps page for session dates.

Does Alley-oop skim camp give re-funds? What happens if camp is canceled due to dangerous weather or ocean conditions?
Occasionally Alley-oop has to call off or shorten days due to thunderstorms, wind, heat, flys, or dangerous ocean conditions. Decisions to shorten or cancel camp are made to ensure the safety of our campers. If camp has to be cancelled or shortened, Alley-oop will only refund money if the total amount of hours missed exceeds 7 hours, which is the equivalent of one camp day. When more than 7 hours are missed, money will be refunded according to an hourly rate. Money will not be refunded for any other reason. If there is a situation where a camper cannot attend camp, we offer you the option to fill their spot with another camper as long as they fill out proper registration.
What are campers fed during camp?
At Alley oop we take pride in providing our campers with a good meal and end of the day snack. Typically the main course of our meals consist of either pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, or wraps with chips, pretzels, and some type of sweet. Our end of the day snack usually consists of fruit, vegetables, dip, chips, PBJ, pretzels, and cookies. We maintain a good supply of water and often time?s lemonade to keep campers hydrated through the day. Breakfast is not served and we strongly recommend campers eat something before arriving at camp. Campers are allowed to bring their own food if they do not like what we are providing. We try to offer other food options if a child is allergic to, or can?t eat something we have planned. Please inform us on application about any allergies or health issues.
Does Alley-oop provide transportation?
No. Parents/guardians are expected to drop campers off at the empty ticket booth in the parking lot on the south side of Indian River Inlet, Delaware State Seashore Park by 9am. Pick up is in the same place at 4pm for full sessions and 12pm for half sessions.
*Our advanced session offers transportation in our Cadillac Limo to and from the alley-oop store.
