You will be welcomed in the Crew right away and you can go on parties with the Crew Leaders. There are 2 big fridges with stuff you can take to make your meal in the morning or evening besides the regular meals that you take together with the other volunteers. The place is not far from the beach or the camping. The city harlem is as well easy to reach with the bus. It is definitely an experience worth seeing or living 👁👀

The best experience I could have had as a first volunteer, the entire the camping team is very attentive, friendly, they care about you and make you feel part of the family. It is volunteering on the beach but very close to the camping since you arrive by train and it is super easy, in high season they have many events and although I went in low season I still enjoyed it a lot and met a lot of people. Spend incredible moments in this camp Thanks for everything ♥️♥️

Alejandra came in the end of the season, but still she became a big part of the Surfana family. She filled up the place with herpositiv energy and connected with guests and crew. She was a all around talent and help in the kitchen, cleaning the area and tents and gave some yoga lesson.
We hope to see you next year again!

My volunteering at the camping was wonderful! the hosts were super welcoming and friendly. the work was simple. I worked in some functions, cleaning the tents, reception and kitchen. I learned many new skills. When we finished the agreed hours, we had the day free to enjoy the campsite and the surroundings. The food they offered was simply wonderful. It was amazing! I already miss it and hope to return next summer! Love you guys, thank you for everything! ❤️

Thank you Camila for all your help at the camp! Even though you did some new and unexpacted task you managed them all without any problems. It was a pleassure to have you around. See you next summer!

I really enjoyed my time at the camping, everyone was really nice. It was laid back and a really chilled atmosphere. I was there over their annual festival too which was a lot of fun. It quieted down towards the end of my time at the camping, meaning you had a lot time to do other things. It's in a great location for exploring the rest of Holland. I would definitely recommend and come back again;)

The camp is an incredible place. The crew area has a lot of food, many spaces to stay chill and the people are really social and charming. The work is the same as they explain in the web. I recommend this place !!
