Are you looking for a fun, healthy and sporty way for your children to spend their summer? Do you want your child to enjoy their summer the best way possible? Well, we have the best solution for it: our junior summer camp!

First things first, what do we mean by summer camp?

So imagine, you’re looking for a surfing adventure for your child, but you’re not quite sure where to start. That’s where the surf camp swoops in to save the day. Think of it as the all-in-one ticket to the ultimate surfing experience, complete with waves, instruction, and a side of beachside fun.

At a surf camp, there’s a chance to surf in the coolest coastal spots around. Your expert instructors will have your kids riding waves like a pro in no time. But surf camps aren’t just about surfing, they’re about soaking up the activities prepared for our residents! Think jam sessions,water games and epic karaoke nights.Oh, and did we mention a big party? Yeah, those happen too. But wait, there’s more! Add all this to incredible temperatures, amazing warm and sunny weather, and we’ll turn a surf camp into a summer camp full of good vibes rolling. Anyways, it’s not just about the waves and the parties, it’s about the people.

The summer camp is all about bringing together new people, making new friends connected by one thing: the passion of surfing!
