I got to know so many people, it's a great place to go if you're looking for travel buddies! Because there are so many people you learn so many new things as well, like travel tips, games, and even countries. The camp itself was amazing as well, being social is a must to stay in the dorms. Maybe plan a few daytrips when you go there because you really only go to beaches. But a fun experience nontheless! I had a great time.

I had an absolutely amazing time at the surf camp, I made some of my best friends and it was a lovely, exciting experience that I wouldn't change for the world. Just make sure you're ready for the bugs, mold from the weather and lots of partying <33

The surf camp is such a good place to have a first solo travel experience. It feels more like a summer camp than a hostel and I met the nicest people ever here. The work is very easy and straightforward and you get some say in the job that you get. Get ready to party a lot, spend lots of time at the beach, and have the time of your life at the surf camp!!I will miss this place lots:)

This is definitely a fun and unique experience if you're looking for a social place to volunteer at! The tasks are easy, and the shifts are well scheduled to let you still enjoy surfing, staying at the beach or exploring the town during the day. There are a lot of activities almost every day and you'll definitely not get bored. Would recommend :)
