Treat your teen to an unforgettable Summer surfing camp on the Atlantic coast, in the Vendée, near Les Sables d'Olonne! Supervised by qualified instructors, teenagers learn to surf 🌊 in a safe and caring environment.
This surfing holiday camp is approved by the SDJES andwhether it's your first time surfing or you want to improve your skills on the waves, this surfing holiday camp is the ideal combination of sport, nature and new friendships. 🏄♀️🌴
We organise "SURF & SKATE" holidays for small groups of 16 young people, with 3 hours of surfing a day (including preparation and travel), a family atmosphere and 24-hour supervision. Apart from surf lessons, the youngsters can enjoy beach activities and take part in the surf camp community life (table tennis, slackline, skateboard, surf skate and other games available). These activities are organised according to their wishes and in agreement with the supervisors.
"A great experience for a night at the suf camp! A short stay in a tipi in a very pleasant and soothing setting. The space is quiet and shaded, and the morning light is not at all disturbing. Very good quality bedding... In short, I can only recommend it! See you soon!"
Catering
You are guaranteed to immerse yourself in a positive atmosphere inspired by the ocean, the appeal of nature, quality meals and relaxation. What better way to recharge your batteries?
In summer, the restaurant "Le Banc de Sable", located just 600 metres from our Teen Surf Camp, prepares meals for the young people at the surf camp. An exceptional culinary experience close to the ocean, adding a delicious touch to the adventure.
We take care of our teenagers so that they can enjoy their stay to the fullest! Vegetables, starchy foods, fruit - everything they need to stay in shape from morning to night!
Activities
- Trips to the new skate park at La Faute sur Mer, one of the biggest in Europe. Bring your surf and skateboard equipment if you have it!
- Outside lessons, young people will be supervised by a counsellor, on hand 24 hours a day. He or she will organise activities such as football, volleyball and board games. They will also be taught about ecology with the help of materials designed by the SURFRIDER FOUNDATION.

- Table tennis, slackline, skateboard, surf skate and other games available

The teenagers are in full bloom and learning about life day by day. Through surfing, we try to give them an experience that will gradually lead them to surpass themselves. Through the ocean, we teach them to master their fear and to know where their limits are, while respecting their development, their abilities and their individual motivation. We guide them to gain self-confidence and teach them different techniques to help them progress.
In particular, we use video and photos for the intermediate and advanced levels who stay at the surfcamp. Body action, amplitude of movement, trajectories, flow (the surfer's rhythm in tune with the breaking of the wave)... Watching yourself in action is a real eye-opener and enables you to make real progress. As far as boards are concerned, the equipment will of course evolve as you progress.
