Arthur continues to impress with his dedication to learning. Since coming home, he’s taken up new sports, created a band, and written original songs. I believe Surf Term and Powder Term gave him the confidence to explore his passions and trust his ability to try new things.”

Discover Term teaches skiing and surfing, yes, but more importantly, it teaches independence, vulnerability, responsibility, and leadership. It shows kids how to be effective leaders, manage their time (and be on time), and be a good friend. It was a unique bonding experience away from so many of the distractions middle school kids face.”
After Surf Term, Jane is far more independent, has a bigger world view, and doesn’t sweat the small stuff. For example, there was some middle school friend drama when she returned and she didn’t get involved because she just didn’t see the point. She knew it would shake out whether she got invested or not.”
Do it! Discover Term is a transformative experience at a time in their life when they need it most. Your child will come back a better, more evolved, more confident version of themselves.”
The program continues to support his development as a surfer, while more importantly nurturing his self-confidence, fostering positive leadership skills, encouraging independence, and helping him grow into a thoughtful, contributing member of this beautiful world.”
It’s tough to describe all of the different ways Surf Term made an impact on my child. She came home so happy, confident, excited, and with a greater perspective and vision for the type of life she would like to pursue.”
I know that what Davis and Ainsley experienced at Surf Term will continue to shape them for years. We already see growth and confidence and a light that shines brighter in them. They have broadened their outlook and changed some priorities and are discussing what they want to spend time and energy on intentionally.”

Matthew realized post Surf Term how distracting his phone really is! He asked us to take his phone away so that he could read or do homework without interruptions. He might not realize it now but, NO cell phone for 5 weeks was the BEST GIFT we ever gave Matthew!”
