My experience at the surf camp was amazing, I was there for a month, I worked as a social media photographer and content creator, and the task where easy and everything agreed on was respected. I recommend having some basic german, as it make the experience more enriching, but you can still enjoy it without speaking the language, but English is really necessary to communicate. I'm very greatfull for this experience and highly recommend the surf camp!

Despite my short experience, due to some personal issues that forced me to return to Italy, I would recommend the surf camp because it's a truly pleasant place and excellent for those who love water sports and at the same time want to explore the most authentic Holland. The accommodations are comfortable and cozy, and I found the quality of the food very good (especially the dishes prepared by Denis) and very varied. Even though I'm not a very sociable person, the staff was very kind to me, especially regarding the windsurfing lessons, which I would have happily continued.

Overall, I had a good experience! The crew was really fun and I loved learning to windsurf and having access to water sports and bikes. However, almost everyone speaks German. I knew this beforehand, but I often felt left out, especially at meals and in the evenings. There was also a lack of organization and I sometimes felt lost or like there wasn’t much to do. Despite this, I learned a lot and had fun. I would recommend it, especially if you speak German!

The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and great for water sports, but the experience was not. The food, volunteers' room, and work conditions are excellent and fair. Denis, who is in charge, is welcoming and tried to talk to me whenever possible. However, they only accept 1–2 volunteers at a time, the whole team only speaks German, and I felt lonely and isolated 100% of the time, especially during meals. I wouldn't recommend it if you only have basic English or are looking for genuine cultural exchange and interaction. There is basically no exchange there.
