Description
Our Surf Camp is located in the jungles of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, and a short ride to Playa Tamarindo beach -- We provide a unique opportunity to experience the authentic Costa Rican way of life -- Through daily surfing, camping, yoga, remote beach and waterfall excursions, among countless other activities, our surf camp serves as a foundation to connect with yourself, other adventurous travelers, and Costa Rica's vast and extraordinary offerings of nature and wildlife.
The idea is to create a fun, energetic atmosphere full of adventures and unforgettable memories, while simultaneously being in harmony with the environment and culture of Costa Rica. To create this atmosphere, we are looking for open-minded volunteers who will be a constant positive and valuable contribution to our operational team.
We were recognized by Workaway, among their 25,000+ hosts, as "Host of the Month" in June 2016! You can read the interview they did with us about our volunteer program on Workaway's "Host of the Month" section of their website's Blog, by clicking the badge on our profile, or by Googling the title. It is titled: "Living In a Surf Camp In Costa Rica"!
Pura Vida!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We employ a large number of local employees, ranging from team memebers, to our chefs, drivers, maintenance, tour guides, custodial and laundry services, and things such as having local fruit and vegetable vendors set up in camp.
Both what a traveler can benefit from and learn at our Workaway from a cultural exchange standpoint can come in the form of meshing human connection and merging cultures. We often times have over 20+ countries represented in camp, and we encourage all to share their culture, passions, and talents with one another via workshops/classes.
From a local cultural exchange standpoint, our relationships with nearby farms, schools, families, and organizations are beneficial to the surrounding community. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities to do local farm trips/exchanges, language classes and efforts with local children, beach cleanups, teaching classes at nearby trade schools, among other goodwill endeavors. As we continue to develop, these opportunities to give back to the local community become more fruitful.
Aide
We offer one focused tier of volunteer opportunity:
Qualified Volunteer: In exchange for accommodations and food, two meals a day (breakfast & dinner), you will provide a specific professionally-skilled trade. While we are open-minded to accepting other skilled trades, we are looking for volunteers with the following skills set :
Experienced Social Media manager: Beginning mid-July
Surf Instructor: Beginning ASAP
Yoga Instructor: Beginning ASAP
Experienced Photographer: Beginning mid-June
Experienced Videographer: Beginning mid-June
Your inquiry into this volunteer option will be carefully reviewed, and if accepted, you will potentially be asked to have a video chat so we can discuss the expected contributions further.
While we do all we can to determine a Volunteer's qualifications prior to arrival, once accepted as a Qualified Volunteer, you will be required to undergo a one week trial period your first week in camp, in which you simply exhibit your skill set, enthusiasm, and initiative, to confirm your suggested capabilities.
Qualified Volunteers can expect to be a large part of our day-to-day operations, and ultimately the entire camp's development.

Thank you for your feedback. Just to be clear and to ease your concerns, we promptly ceased the yoga instructor's role who was in question a few months ago. There is no place for anyone feeling uncomfortable within the camp.

1. The people. When I showed up there were about 65 people there from all over the world. Like me, they came to surf, meet new people, do yoga,… read more

The highlights for me definitely were the bonfire beach parties and the flanky ball tourney. Most people at the camp, at least when I was there, were volunteers,… read more
