I spent 3 weeks in the surf camp and it was the best experience in my life. I met amazing people who are now my friends, and I made so many memories that I'll never forget for the rest of my life. The tasks were easy and short. I definitely recommend it to everyone, and I'm sure I'll come back someday!!

The surf camp is an amazing place to volunteer at, I learned how to surf and a lot about different cultures. The environment at the camp makes you feel welcome. I met so many people I will stay in touch with!

This was the opportunity of a lifetime and I am so glad I did it! I highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it. My only complaint would be it seemed to be advertised as more of a surf/yoga retreat rather than the more all-encompassing social experience it became, but this resulted in me enjoying the trip even more!

I had such a fun experience at the surf camp and I couldn't recommend volunteering here more! The types of people that this place attracts are so cool to meet and this surf camp does a really great job at providing so many opportunities to connect with everyone and foster meaningful relationships. The volunteering tasks are very simple, manageable, and I would even say fun. I really enjoyed the food, games, surfing, and excursions during my stay volunteering here. Everything about my trip was super transparent and met every expectation!
