  Description

  At the surf camp we are currently looking for help with CARPENTRY to help us with a building project. We currently employ 2 other local builders. We are also looking for people interested in CHILDCARE as my children are at the camp as well. Also anyone interested and experienced in painting MURALS. Below is a description of camp and the area.
  
  Our surf camp is located on the beach of a small coastal town in Oaxaca, Mexico. Our bar is located on the lagoon. We offer camping, communal kitchen and bathroom, surf board rental, surf lessons and all of the local tours. As it is part of a national park, there are beautiful lagoons, mangroves, and a healthy wildlife population. Activities include trips to to the bioluminescence, fishing, surfing and general exploration.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Travelers who have spent time in our town have a hard time leaving. It is a very special place that enchants you with its very tranquil vibe, friendly locals, and overall stunning scenery. As none of the locals speak English, it is a great place to improve your Spanish. If you are looking to learn or improve your surf skills, this is the place! If you are already a surfer, there are plenty of waves for you too. We receive people from all over the world so there are many opportunities to learn about other cultures. If you love beach living, nature, surfing and connecting with people (locals and travelers alike) you are likely to feel right at home here.
