Surf Camp Recomendations

[kfox527]

I'm looking to take a group of high school kids to a surf camp next summer. They will have a wide variety of experiences so a variety of breaks and waves is a must. I am also interested in other diversions and cultural opportunities in the area. The camp should be all inclusive with all meals and transfers provided. Can be anywhere in the world but would prefer Central or northern S. America.
Does anyone have a camp to recommend that would fit this Bill?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Try looking for somebody who does it in San Onefre,California. There are a bunch of different breaks in the same close area so you can surf first timers(who will actually get to stand and surf) to the rippers needing overhead + conditions plus the vibe there is way cool (No Localisim) ( family oriented ) I would recomend you steer clear of the spot known as Lowers it has allot of sponserd pro surfers there and you better be in the (A) game crowd to even go out in the water, you can still sit and watch all the pro cats rippin it up and mabie even get some autographs. all the outher breaks are in walking distance (some closer than outhers). You allso have things like Lego Land,Disneyland,Sea World etc. within a couple hr drive so all in all a pritty good spot, I'll look into an (all inclusive) and see what I can find for ya.
There is allso tide pools and trails to go hiking/biking

perusurf is a member here and runs a inexpensive camp in Peru. I have not been but he seems legit and the pictures look good.


Good luck.

Warning: Do not go to Morro Negrito in Panama. I found the waves to be less than they boasted. Their location is sheltered, so only breaks when there is big swell. So you can get skunked there easy. Their camp is cool, food was limited and not very good. They did a poor job of splitting the group, and created their own crowd of 30 on mediocre waves.

Just to be clear; I am the owner of an surfcamp (hotel) in the Dominican Republic. Encuentro Cabarete to be precise.
This not mend to be a commercial reply.

I live since 4 years in Cabarete on the Noth Coast of the Dominican Republic.
We started a (kite)surfcamp hotel for young active people.

If you are looking for a place where is next to the surfing plenty to do, I should consider Cabarete.

Cabarete is a laid-back surfers town with lot's of things to do. For surfing you find on Encuentro some different breaks as-well for beginners and the more experienced. The water is warm and you will find a good vibe among the people.
In town there are plenty of restaurants and nightlife is good.

Next to the surfing we organize lot's of trips ourselves but also in Cabarete are lot of small touroperaters who organize several trips.
Don't end up between the all inclusive tourists but look for the more adventurous organizers.
ATV trips, waterfall climbing and jumping, see some of the local life, mountainbiking, hiking, motocross etc etc etc.
If you want to see more of the DR and it's culture there are lot's of places to go also.

Next to the DR probably are ton's of places you can go. Good luck and have fun on your trip....

Hey KFox,

I think we talked a couple of months ago about going to Witch's Rock Surf Camp. Were you ever able to organize everything?

Did you already book your group surf camp? I recommend <edit> in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. They have 8 rooms and its a perfect set up for groups.
