A decade-old surf camp’s site was showing its age. LEPP rebuilt it into a faster, modern platform that makes camp registration effortless for families, so Surf Hatteras could keep its focus on the water.

Client Overview
Since 2006, Surf Hatteras has run destination surf camps for kids and teens on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Weeklong sessions pair daily surf instruction with faith, mentorship, and lasting friendships, run by a staff that keeps a better than 1:2 staff-to-camper ratio all summer long.
Every session runs on a full house of instructors, photographers, and counselors, and every family who signs up expects the same thing LEPP was tasked with protecting: a site that feels as personal and well-run as the camp itself.
Project Goals
Surf Hatteras had been running on a website dating back to 2012. Over time it had grown bloated and outdated, and families were finding it harder to navigate at the exact moment they needed to sign up.
Our Solution
LEPP rebuilt the Surf Hatteras site from the ground up, with every decision weighed against one question: does this make it easier for a family to get their camper signed up?
A modern look that still feels like Surf Hatteras, built for families browsing on any device.
A faster-loading site so families aren't waiting around during peak sign-up windows.
A rebuilt sign-up flow that walks families through choosing a week and reserving a spot.
Secure deposit and balance payments handled directly on the site.
Health and liability forms families complete online, ahead of arrival.
A built-in waitlist for full weeks, so no spot goes untracked.
The full registration experience, built to work from a phone in one hand.
The structural groundwork for the site to keep being found each camp season.
Registration, Simplified
The old process buried families in back-and-forth. The rebuilt flow walks a parent from browsing sessions to a confirmed spot in one sitting.
Browse open sessions at a glance.
Hold a session with a deposit.
Health and liability forms, done online.
Deposit and balance, handled on site.
Confirmation in hand, bags ready to pack.
Built to Fit Every Screen
Whether a customer is researching from an office desktop or calling from a phone between job sites, the experience stays consistent, fast, and easy to navigate.
Full-width hero shots of the Outer Banks surf carry the page, with the eleven weekly sessions laid out clearly so a parent can scan open weeks and jump straight into registration.
The same wave-worn photography and session grid, resized without losing the beach-trip feel, so a family scrolling from the couch gets the same easy path to sign-up.
Built for the parent filling out a health form from the car line or between errands, with the sign-up flow front and center and Surf Hatteras’ island photography still doing the talking.
