It is definitely a must have experience!! Since it's going on for 3 weeks you actually have time to get to know people for a while longer and form memories together. The events are fun and you can relax anywhere, either the pool, or hammocks, if you need some time to for yourself. The work is pretty easy and managable. I loved working as an artist and discovered that I might wanna do something in that direction as a future job. All in all a very nice place!:)

The surf camp was my first volunteer ever, I can't even believe it's over already! Those 3 weeks passed so quickly! I had such an amazing and fun time, met incredible people, travelled with new friends, took a couple of surf lessons, I got to see the most beautiful sunsets with my friends at the beach, sing in karaoke night, dance all night, tried new food etc! The list goes on and on! 100% recommend the surf camp! I could have not asked for a better first volunteer experience💕 Thank you so much the surf camp! I'll be back ❤️
