Program Details

We are looking for a communicative, responsible, organized and proactive person to be part of the Wave Hunters Surf Camp routine, in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Rio de Janeiro. 🌊🏄‍♂️

Our Surf Camp is just 5 streets from Praia da Macumba, one of the most well-known beaches in Rio for surfing. Here you will experience up close the routine of a hostel geared toward surfers, travelers and people who seek beach, sport, nature and new experiences.

The volunteer will help us mainly with guest reception, handling check-in and check-out, introducing the hostel spaces, providing basic information and helping to create a welcoming environment for those arriving.

They will also be part of the routine by helping with organization and general hostel services, such as keeping common areas organized, assisting with small cleaning tasks, checking rooms and helping to keep the space pleasant for everyone.

We are not looking for just anyone to complete tasks. We want a person who wants to participate in the Surf Camp community, chat with guests, meet people from different places and contribute to the good energy of the house.

In return, you can experience a different life in Rio de Janeiro, close to the beach and immersed in the surfing world. 🏄‍♀️🌴

If you enjoy the beach, travel, new friendships, relaxed environments and have no problem getting your hands dirty when needed, you’ll probably feel at home here.

Main activities:
• Support at the reception and guest service
• Assistance with check-in and check-out
• Organization of common areas
• Support in cleaning and general services

To ensure the experience is good for everyone, we look for volunteers who are truly willing to participate in the Surf Camp routine.

Be a person who is responsible, proactive, organized and punctual.
Have good communication and enjoy dealing with people.
Be willing to help both at the reception and in the organization and cleaning of the hostel.
Respect the schedules and tasks agreed with the team.
Keep shared spaces clean and organized, including during time off.
Treat guests, staff, other volunteers and neighbors always with respect.
We do not tolerate prejudice, discrimination, harassment, aggression or any behavior that makes others uncomfortable.
It is forbidden to work or attend to guests under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Parties, external guests and consumption of drinks must respect the house rules.
Understand that we are at a Surf Camp, with a relaxed environment, but responsibility and commitment are part of the experience.
Notify in advance if any problem prevents meeting the schedule or tasks.
Take care of the hostel's structure, equipment and materials as if they were your own.
Be willing to collaborate. Here we value those who see something that needs to be done and help, instead of waiting to be asked.

No need to know how to surf! 🏄‍♂️ The most important thing is to come with good energy, respect, willingness to learn and team spirit.

We want you to enjoy Rio, the beach, the surf and the experience to the fullest — but we also expect commitment to what was agreed. 🌴🌊
