What We do
We host community surf camps on the Washington coast for Native youth in partnership with the Makah Indian Nation, Quileute Nation, Hoh Indian Tribe, and the Quinault Indian Nation. We teach Native youth to surf, empower them to explore their ancestral waters, and share the benefits of outdoor recreation in their own backyard.
Tribal
Partners
The support, partnerships, and friendships between Warm Current and the Makah Indian Nation, Quileute Nation, Hoh Indian Tribe, and the Quinault Indian Nation are crucial to the success of each surf camp.
We try to make our camps as fun, engaging, and educational as possible - encouraging all members of the community to join us on the beach to cheer on the kids and for snacks and socializing after the camp.

Programs
Our programs and curriculum are continuously evolving to meet the needs of the Native youth and communities we serve. First and foremost, our goal is to provide easy, safe, access to surfing for Native youth, and the best way to do that is through surf camps during the summer. Alongside surfing technique, we teach beach stewardship and host beach cleanups.
We are also expanding our Surf Outpost program, where we fund, build, and stock a building on tribal land with safety equipment, surfboards, wetsuits, and instructions on how and where to surf safely. The Surf Outpost is then left as a resource for the community to use however and whenever they see fit. Our first successful Surf Outpost was built at Hobuck Beach Resort and we hope to expand this program in the future.
