It is the southernmost point of the European mainland and it is only a stone throw away from the African continent with regular ferry boats to Tangier in Morocco which takes only one hour. The smallest passage of the Strait of Gibraltar is 14 kilometers. Further to this in Tarifa the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet.

The accommodation of Camp has its own kitchen with an in-house chef, all prepared fresh and using fresh ingredients. Campers can enjoy daily healthy nutrient-rich meals, including a three-course menu for lunch and dinner. The menus are varied, to fuel the teens for their activities.

1. What is the difference between a group kitesurf course and a semi-private course and which course is the best fit for my child?

It is the intensity above all that makes the difference. For those students who have never practiced kitesurfing and who want to have a first experience to find out whether they like this sport a group course with four students, sharing the kitesurfing gear available in pairs is recommended. This course is less intensive but at all times very professional and every student learns a lot as a team member. It can also be an option for these students with more advanced levels but who prefer to consolidate their knowledge without rushing and enjoy sharing the course with peers of the same level.

If a student is already an advanced kitesurfer and the goal is to reach the next level or to progress most efficiently and at a fast pace, a semi-private course (two students with their own kitesurf gear each) in this case is highly recommended. The kitesurf school recommends semi-private classes from level 3 onwards.

2. What happens if wind conditions do not allow you to practise water sports?

We are a pure water sports camp. That is why we are very flexible and spare no effort to change our program when the wind conditions require it. If the wind is unsuitable on a scheduled water sport day, we recover as many hours as possible on more suitable days. Alternatively, we offer activities such as surfing, SUP, wakeboarding or go for an Adventure activities.

3. What is the situation when my child comes alone to the Camp?

Your child will not be the only one coming alone and we know there is nothing to fear, as kids coming alone are very open to new friendships and generally fit in with one another very quickly.

4. How is the supervision organised?

The Camp staff takes care of the kids around the clock. During the night we have a night counsellor.

5. Do you admit children of 13 years?

Yes, we do, especially if they come with an older brother or sister or if parents are sure that their kid/ kids can cope with being away from home. These young teenagers have to be aware that they will be amongst the youngest which is not a problem for the summer camp and hopefully neither for themselves.

6. Ideal length of stay for my child at summer camp

1 week: One week Camp terms are used to introduce young people to overnight camps
2 weeks: Offers a great balance between the cnvenient summer schedule, having fun outdoors and positive youth development experiences
3 weeks: To deepen coexistence, friendship and explore new skills
4 weeks: A complete stay that allows the campers to participate in all activities
