All the staff were friendly and always willing to help. They encouraged us to enjoy the surf camp facilities — we could go kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, or play beach volleyball anytime. We also had bikes, so it was easy to cycle into town in 10 minutes. On weekends, they kindly drove us to the train station. It's a peaceful place, perfect for staying active and watching beautiful sunsets. The town is small, but Amsterdam and nearby cities are easy to reach (for budget travelers trains can be pricey). I really enjoyed my time at Lifetime Sports and recommend it!

During the time I was there, I stayed very engaged and learned a lot. I enjoyed the parties and the flexibility, the teamwork, and the opportunity to interact with the groups in general. If I had the chance, I would go back there again.

Had an amazing time at the surf camp. The work was easy, the facilities are great, the food is tasty, the staff are friendly and most importantly - they know how to party. Of course, its important to mention that most of the people in the camp primarily speak German, so it's important to put yourself out there and be outgoing despite the language barrier, believe me - you won't regret it. Oh, and this is the best place to learn windsurfing!

My time at the surf camp was legendary! A very large Dankeschön to the entire team. Immediately was welcomed in and enjoyed some epic parties , picked up a little German, got some tennis in and of course time out on the water wind surfing. Food is great! Room was great! Work hours are scheduled and tasks laid out. All necessary equipment provided and the team is always available to answer questions. A true gem of Worldpackers. Many cheers from Canada and best of luck with the rest of the season. May the winds be strong and the beer stronger
