The accommodation for the teens is close to Vale Figueiras beach, a comfortable Surf house surrounded by nature, in the natural park of Algarve and only 1 hour from Faro International airport. The camps are 7 days although most kids stay for two weeks.

 

Surf Courses are split into three levels: total beginners who will learn the easiest way to surf and improve their technique, Intermediate surfers, and advanced surfers. Plenty of activities, prizes, gifts and lots of fun.  We proud ourselves to be an international surf summer camp where English is mainly spoken. The children will be spoken to in English most of the time. We also offer English Language classes in the evenings (optional).

 

The team consists of qualified coaches, who speak several languages and all the elements are combined to provide kids with professional, pleasurable and efficient training. The Team has dedicated their life to surf and has over 15 years of experience in junior training

How are the waves?

If you are looking for the location in Europe with most consistent waves for surfing, stop searching. West Coast of Algarve is the place in Europe with most waves during summer (June, July, and August). Our beach (Vale Figueiras) is a beach break which offers the most ripplable waves. Doesn’t matter if its low, mid or high tide you will find a sand bank breaking. The best thing is that the beach is so big that you can always find yourself a wave to yourself with no crowd… all you need is to walk an extra 2 minutes along the coast.

A Typical Day

Other Activities

  • Surfboard Shaping Workshop: Once every 10 days there is a workshop where we teach the kids how to shape, sand, and glass surfboards. We do the same process as if they were real surfboards but in miniature surfboards so they can take with them as a souvenir. They have a little hole on it so they can be a key chain, a necklace or just a little sculpture.
  • Beach Clean-Up: In between surf sessions, we organize a beach clean up, where the teenagers will have gloves and plastic bags to collect as much garbage as possible at the beach where we practice surfing. Every day the ocean throws thousand of kilos of plastics at many beaches around the world and this scenario is only getting worse. With this activity we try to show the kids how important it is to do our part and spread good practice to more and more people. We can not give up.
  • Yoga sessions few days a week.
  • Barbecue party at the camp.
  • Touristic excursions.
  • Nature Run once a week.
  • Beach Volleyball Competition.
  • Other fun activities at the beach
  • Other optional activities for extra cost

Are you ready for our famous party?

The last night of the week we throw a wild Dj Party. The highlight of the week at our Portugal kids surf camp.

 

Nature

Close by to the property there are stables with horses, cows, pigs, dogs, and our orchard.  Kids will be surfing, doing sports and having fun but with the maximum security for them.

 

Language Courses

Our surf summer camp in Portugal offers optional Spanish and English Language courses. The classes are only one hour per day for five days from Monday to Friday in the morning before the surf lessons or in the afternoon so no one will miss out on any surfing. The classes are fun and most of the time they will be taught in the open air (Beach, fields, with the animals at the nearby farms, etc).

 

Certified and native teacher is Jane Hayward

Certified by Cambridge as an English language teacher (CELTA).

 

“Originally from Brighton and with 16 years of teaching experience, I provide fun and effective made-to-measure English lessons for kids, teens and adults. Passionate about teaching and language learning, I also have over two years of experience teaching French, Spanish and Portuguese.”

 
 

 

 

 

LOCATION & GETTING HERE

LOCATION

Where exactly is our teen surf summer camp in Portugal?

 

If you are looking for a kids surf camp in Portugal, there is no better location than Algarve! The Junior surf camp is only 1 hour by car from Faro airport. The Surf house is ideally located between nature and the wild Vale Figueiras Beach or Arrifana Beach where the surf courses take place. (hills, birds, cows and sheep). No houses, bars, or anywhere to walk to, apart from the beach. We have everything we need to keep our teens entertained at the surf camp.

 

The Algarve is situated on the most southern part of Portugal, stretching along the Atlantic between the Spanish border and Cabo Sao Vicente, Europe’s south western most point, enjoys a privileged climate all year round, in brightly colored and fertile surroundings covered with orange, fig, and almond groves.

 

The southern coastline is formed by a long stretch of fabulous beaches, only broken up by impressive reddish cliffs. The west coast is wilder and the sea rougher, with a string of solitary coves and beaches accessed through dirt tracks.

They were very sad that we only booked one week

"Hello, I just wanted to write back to say what a wonderful time both boys had. They were very sad that we only booked one week. They learnt a lot regarding surfing, met some great people and loved the vibe of the camp and the whole experience. I think they would very much like to repeat if we can organise again. All the best, Maya"

Delicious BBQ and welcoming atmosphere

"The people were very nice and welcoming and the dogs were really cute and gentle. The food was so delicious, especially the barbecue in the last day. The beds were so comfy and living room area is good for chill after surf. The surf instructors were really nice, I really liked how they had the divided groups for different levels ( Beginner, Beginner/Intermediate and Intermediate). I loved horse riding the most it was really fun and exciting! Thank you and I hope I come back next year for the whole month❤️​"

Great Summer Camp!

"Fantastic! Thank you Nomad Surfers team for good work! Olivia arrived safe and happy on Sunday to the camp. Thank you for these 10 days, she came back home very happy. Great summer camp! Warmly, Sandrine"

Truly enjoyed

"My daughter Beatriz, truly enjoyed her experience in the surf camp and I have been made aware she wants to do it again next year :) Food: They were always very generous with food and breakfast was lovely and with plenty of choice. They were given a picnic to take away in their afternoon outings and that was enough food to keep them up until dinner. Dinner was diverse and there were some lovely soups, which Bia always ate which is unlike her to eat soup. Accommodation: My daughter liked the accommodation, it was clean and had a wonderful view. She was sharing her room with girls from different countries so it was great for her to get to know new cultures and people in that way. Surf Coaching: She really really enjoyed the surfing lessons, Bia had never surf before and she was able to stand up and ride the wave at the end of the camp. The instructors were really patient and supportive of her. Other Activities: Bia enjoyed having so many different activities throughout her time there. She did horse riding, yoga, they went jogging, they did a bit of tourism in the village, they went out for dinner one night outside the camp and went to a water park. Ahh Bia suggested that it would have been nice to try paddling, maybe something for them to have available in the future even if you need to charge an extra. The experience was an overall hit for Bia, she was so excited to be there and meet all new people. All the staff was amazing and I felt my daughter was in good hands. Thank you Nomad Surfers."

"This is te best surfvanor i’ve been to"

"I really had a great time!! I had so much fun!! I met lovely persons in a very nice place! And what saiyng about waves....really cool ones!!!"

Great time!

"I had a great time at Vale Figueiras! The people are very nice, and everything is taken care of. We stayed at the surf resort, which is a really nice building with large rooms and a spectacular view. The food is homemade and delicious. The location is really remote, it is not possible to go anywhere without a car (although they can bring you anywhere if necessary). But, there is no need to go anywhere, cause you are surfing quite a big part of the day. The only negative part is that the yoga lessons, which you can take every day, are very expensive. We were not aware of this before we started with the lessons, so that was kind of an unpleasant surprise at the end of the week (although the yoga teacher herself is great).Besides this, I would really recommend a stay here!"

Perfect camp

He is already looking at other locations, Australia, France, Indonesisia. His surfing advanced and he enjoyed meeting new people from all over the world. What a great opportunity for teens to travel to cool places, meet great people, and surf! Thank you!!!"

Meet people and learn to surf!

"My son went alone to this surf camp, as he wanted to meet people as well as learn to surf. I was a bit concerned as I had no references other than the information on internet, but I needn't have worried. He came home after 10 days having had an amazing time, learning the basics of surfing and with a great group of friends (both male and female) from all over the world. We live in Spain but his English is good, so this was the main language he used for communication, being with Swiss, French, Australian, Spanish, German,...people from all over! I saw the camp myself, it is quite out of the way in the wild countryside of Portugal, 5 mins from a beautiful and almost unused beach, so the group had it to themselves! The couple who own the camp were relaxed but perfectly in control of all the details, and their staff were young, friendly, mad on surfing, and their enthusiasm is contagious! There were different groups according to surf level, but everyone mixed outside of class time. My son is already planning when he can go back and hopefully meet up again with some of the friends he made this year. My daughter is desperate to become old enough to sign up too!"

Great camp to recommend to all youth surfers

"I had a great time at Nomad Surf resort in Vale Figueras ! Overall Portugal, their people and Nomad staff made my vacation something that I won't forget until next summer.... I'm allready asking my parents to let me go back next year for a couple of weeks. Everything is taken care really well, from pickup and delivery at the airport, stay at the camp with every minute filled with something organized, nice pool at the camp, organization at the beach managed by very responsable staff, surfing just fantastic and finally nice evenings & BBQs. Of course mainly everything they let you do during the stay is surf oriented, but the staff tryes to let you experience and sound the country that you are visiting. Personal attention is given to all the guests. The view is amazing from the camp and it is a great way to wake up before having breakfast and start the day. I would highly recommend this camp to all the youth who would like to have summer fun but at the same time learn and improve their own surfing skills. A personal and sincere thank to Louis, head of the surf instructor team (the surf team is really great!), Maria & Tanya at the camp and to Nacho taking care via web to set up all the matters from arrival and departure like a swiss watch! Overall ... very nice people and great camp!"

Great camp

"Great camp"

review

"I really enjoyed this surf camp and its variety of activities, as well as the staff and people I met. I made a lot of good friends with whom I still keep in touch with. the food was good, although I believe that the vegetarian food could be more varied. we had a lot of freedom (in a good way) which made the summer camp differ from other too strict or boring camps.the surfing was well taught and enjoyable. however, a bit more of surf area in the sea would be recommended.thank you so much for the amazing experience, I loved it!"

Preaty good experience

"On my second year going to this camp, I'm so satisfied with the experience and over all the travel, that I would repeat again. Some things like little details like the board games and other stuff or materials are a bit worn out but still usable, but those aren't dependent from the enjoyment of the camp so I have nothing more to say, like I said, over all the best camp I ever been, is all about the great staff and location that made the complete experience."

Great Times in Vale Figueiras

"Hello Jose, Juan had a great time and met some great friends and instructors. Juan would be really happy to have some video of his surf. Could you send me some? He says there was someone taking footage from the water. Thanks and regards"

"HELLO NOMAD SURFERSMY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS WHERE REALLY HAPPY TO STAY WITH YOU. FROM HER STORIES IT SEEMS YOU ALSO HAD A GOOD SURVEILLANCE OF THE YOUNGSTERS REGARDING THEIR SAFETY BOTH SURFING AND IN THE “FREE TIME“. HAPPY FOR THIS. ACTUALLY, THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, IS:I THINK THE PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WAS A BIT OUT OF PLACE. 100 EURO FOR FOTOS OF YOUR CHILD IS A LOT (EVEN IF YOU HAVE A REALLY BEAUTIFUL CHILD)... I THINK YOU COULD EASILY ADD A SUITABLE AMOUNT TO THE NORMAL EXPENSES AND INSTEAD MAKE SOME GREAT PHOTOS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC FOR BOTH THE KIDS AND THEIR CURIOUS PARENTS AT HOME...(THREE STARS FOR THE CLEANLINESS, FOR THE EXTRA BED AND THE MESS IN THE GIRLS ROOM...) BUT I GUESS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES..WE WILL BE BACK!"

"The camp was in general perfect, but it would be cool to have a wider variety of sandwiches for the meal in the beach, and I assume that there's no solution for the fact that we can't throw paper to the toilet, but if we could, it would be a great improvement for the camp."
