Super amazing experience! the surf camp was my first time doing worldpackers, and first time solo traveling. It was a really amazing place to start out in because of the other volunteers, the workers and the environment! I couldn't have asked for a better start to my trip!

It is amazing experience. You can meet new people and develop new friendships. The tasks are simple and easy to accomplish. The food is often the same thing but it is really good. There are a few activities during the week and they are really fun! The staff is nice and they are always ready to help you. I had a really good time here!

I had the best experience at the surf camp. This was my first solo travel experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't travelled alone before. Once I got there, I felt welcomed right away. I've made lifelong friendships, and countless memories i'll never forget. Also I would highly recommend going on the excursions to get outside of tamarindo and see more of the surf camp. The tasks that are assigned to you are very easy, and don't take much time at all. I will miss this place so much, especially music bingo nights, and JJ of course. If you are thinking about coming here, do it!

The surf camp was my first solo travel experience and it was the most fun I have ever had. The people were so kind and welcoming and fun to be around. The excursions and events planned by the camp were so much fun and really got you involved in Tamarindo/the surf camp. The camp life itself was very chill and the surfing was unparalleled, I will forever cherish learning the sport there. I had the opportunity of bartending as my job and I highly recommend that position if you can get it, it is the most social job on camp and if you're good everyone will love you. 10/10 experience THEY ARE NOT A CULT!!!
