I had an amazing time staying with the surf camp! The location was a bit off the beaten path, but that's what made it special. I quickly felt like part of the community, and the local spirit was infectious. I loved learning to the surf camp and surf with the experienced instructor Jesus , and hanging out with other volunteers and kitesurfers at the local bar. the surf camp team was always helpful, caring, and passionate about sharing their love for kitesurfing. I highly recommend the surf camp to anyone looking for a unique experience that combines work and adventure.

I had the best time at Panamá the surf camp. I was here for 6 weeks and I wish I could've stayed longer. From the beginning I felt very welcomed by the volunteers and Florian. The whole team was incredibly friendly and everyone was so fun to be around. I loved how everybody was helping each other out, especially on busy days. You have everything you need and more, and hours and free days are well respected. I'm so thankful for all the amazing people I met, including the team, instructors, volunteers and clients. Big thank you to the Punta Chame family and especially to Flo for having me!🫶🏻

The word limit won't allow to describe how happy I am here. I extended my stay from 2 - 3 months after a week. I arrived on NY eve and instantly felt welcomed by Florian and the team. There is nothing to complain about, I love it here, I love the people, hours are respected, everything else in the agreement is provided. I couldn't ask for more. I'm still here and I'm still enjoying every day. Special S/O to the best volunteer team I could have ever wished for! Maiki, Débo, Kali, Luca, thank you so much for everything! Also huge thx to Flo for having me and the whole PKC and Solé Team 🫶🫶🫶

Atmosphere from the get go was excellent everyone was really friendly and welcoming, you make lots of friends with the people you work with, the guests and the locals. Florian's a brilliant host, you'll get everything you need, for example I had forgotten some things back home and he took a trip to the city (2 hours away minimum) to help me out and buy those things for me. The work is quite laid back and the staff will keep you right.

Wow, what an unforgettable time at the surf camp kitecenter in Punta Chame. Ive been there for 5 weeks and whether you like it or not, after a few days you realize you have made so many new friends. From the boss Florian, your team and the guests to the locals there. I was working there as a waiter and behind the bar, with 2 days off a week and good colleagues to swap shifts with if needed (for kiting or other activities), was it more then fair. I would say a good mix of work and exploring Punta Chame. Thanks Florian for that amazing time.
