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!:)

I had an amazing time at the surf camp. It was so easy to make friends there and I left with so many memories. Working its self was super easy I enjoyed working at the coffee bar so much. The staff there was great. Grace and Danny were amazing and I loved talking to pika and Roger. I would recommend the surf camp to anyone who is looking to make friends from around the world

I absolutely loved my stay at the surf camp! I met so many wonderful people and made friendships that will last a lifetime. It is definitely a huge party scene, so if that is what you're looking for, head this way! I will say it is a bit overpriced for what you are given, and be prepared to eat beans and rice every single meal of your stay. Overall, I loved it at the surf camp and would 100% recommend it to others!

I had an amazing experience while staying at the surf camp. What you put in is what you get out, so put yourself out there & try new things. It is a great place to experience camp life & to make friends with the locals. I stayed for a month & a week and miss it already. Thank you to everyone there. Special shoutouts to Roger & Pika…gonna miss you guys at breakfast/dinner time <3
