Details

• 

  Description

  The surf camp is situated in Yoff BCEAO a fraction of Dakar, just in front of one of the biggest beach break of the area. This is the place where workers, owners, guests and hosts are all part of the same huge community. We are 2 owners (Aziz and Marta) from Senegal and Italy, who started the school in 2010. Our surfcamp offers 6 rooms(around 25 people) in total, in one big traditional senegalese house. We also have a surfshop that offers coffee, clothes and surf equipment. Everything is very close, also a big supermarket, shops and bars are within walking distance.
  
  Yoff is a quiet and pretty safe area of town, you can enjoy the beach vibes, without getting the stress of the city. You are 20 minutes of taxi or public transports from Dakar turistic attractions, everything is easily accessible and you can find everything you need around you.

  Help

  We need somebody happy and friendly to host new guests and explain how the camp runs. We ask the volunteers to help us around on household duties, to keep the space nice and efficient for everybody. Take pictures of the surf classes, help out with local kids, motivate guests to go surfing and make good vibes around.
  
  * If volunteers wants to have full access to our surfboards and wetsuits and take part in our surf lessons or trips, we ask to pay 100 euro per month. This is completely optional.

  We offer a bed in the shared room in the surf camp. We have a dorm for girls and a dorm for boys.
  
  We will provide breakfast and dinner each day of the week. The volunteer will just take care of his/her lunch. We might ask to cook an easy meal once a week but it is more likely some of our staff will do. It can happen in an emergency state.
