I had an amazing couple of months at the surf camp! The best part is the team - it is very social and you meet lots of other volunteers. The work is well-structured and you have plenty of free time to relax or try some of the activities. Thanks for a great experience!!

I loved my stay at the surf camp! It's amazing that they host several volunteers at the same time since you become part of a international and welcoming group from the first day on. The whole lodge, including the guests are very warm and social and there are usually a lot of activities to join. I left with so many wonderful memories- thanks for everything!

It was a great pleasure being part of The Oceans the surf camp family! The work is well organized, schedules are respected and you get to work with an amazing crew. You have plenty of time to join some of the activities, go for a hike on the cliffs, discover the Algarve region, chill at Burgau Beach, or simply relax on a hammock at the surf camp. I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a sociable and relaxing environment.

I spent one of the best months of my life here. Pedro is an amazing host—friendly, calm, funny, and always willing to help. He made sure everyone felt welcome and got the most out of their stay. the surf camp is beautiful, cozy, and peaceful, with an atmosphere that makes time slow down. I really enjoyed my work, especially preparing breakfast and housekeeping, and it was great getting to know the other volunteers and guests. There were also plenty of activities to enjoy, including kite surfing, SUP tours, yoga, barbecues, and pizza nights. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly
