We are now taking bookings for our 5 day surf camps for 2022. Our 5 day surf camps are open to both beginner and improver surfers. The advantage of our 5 day surf camps over our general surf and stay packages is that we can keep the group together over the week and personalize the lessons to suit the needs of each person. With our camps we generally work off a lower ratio of max 6 students to 1 instructor. The camps run Monday to Friday with lessons generally in the morning, leaving you the afternoon free to yourself to surf again, chill or do some other activities. Normally our surf camps are full with people from all over the world however this is a great opportunity for Irish residents to enjoy some of the best beaches and waves in Europe.

It is open to all standards of surfers including complete beginners. To secure bookings we are just taking a €50 booking deposit at the moment which is refundable if covid regulations prevent the booking happening. Booking early is a good idea as last summer we were fully booked. Dorm rooms are available for people who are together in a group and require minimum of 3 people to book.

With groups we can arrange private instructors and self catering accommodation close by. We can customize bookings if needed with extra nights/lessons.

Accommodation

The prices we have listed are based on staying in our surf lodge which is Failte Ireland Welcome Standard approved and works to the Failte Ireland Covid 19 Safety Charter standards. Our surf lodge is small with only 8 rooms which all have private bathrooms and is within walking distance to the beach and facilities. Our surf lodge has private ensuite double/twin/triple rooms and 2 bunk rooms that will suit small groups. We also have self catering options open to families/groups who want their own space that can be booked privately.
