Teen Surf Camp St. Girons, France

France

The Teen Surf Camp

Our teen surf camp in St. Girons is built for 13 to 17 year olds heading off on their first surf holiday without parents. The camp sits in a shaded pine forest behind the dune at St. Girons Plage, on France's Atlantic coast, just 150 metres from the beach.

Teens are supervised 24 hours a day by trained youth trip leaders, with a contact person available around the clock, so parents can relax while their kids make new friends and get properly stuck into surfing.

Surf courses run for every level, from first-time surfers to teens already riding green waves, taught by ISA-certified instructors in groups of up to eight. For safety, surfing only happens during supervised course times.

The St. Girons teen package includes full board, with a vegan option always available, plus three yoga sessions a week, free longboard loans for cruising the forest roads, and a campsite pool with five water slides. Between surf sessions there’s beach volleyball, basketball, football, table tennis, a slackline and hammocks to chill in, so there’s always something to do with new friends. An optional day trip to San Sebastián runs in high season.

For parents: teens are looked after around the clock by trained youth trip leaders, and surfing only happens in supervised lessons. If you have any questions, please get in touch and we’ll help.

Accommodation

Camp-style stays built for teens
Included
Choose from three camp-style options, all set among the pines just steps from the rest of the group. Bedding, towels, cutlery and camping dishes aren't provided, so pack a sleeping bag and pillow. Shared toilets, showers and sinks are close by.

Tents: Double igloo tents with two separate sleeping cabins and a shared middle room. Each cabin has a double air mattress and sleeps two, so a tent sleeps up to four.

Sheddies: Fixed huts with a built-in bed, a lamp and a power outlet, a comfortable step up from tent life.

Comfort Tents: Fitted with a wooden floor, a proper bed and a porch for a bit of extra comfort.

There's a shared chill-out area and kitchen, and bikes can be rented on the campsite.
