Family Surf Camp Resort France

Family surf camp in France for adventures families that like great accommodation, healthy food and loads of activities. We are located on the French Atlantic coast in the heart of the best vineyards in the world.

Resort

The large area surrounded by pine trees is best suited for families, couples and 25+ individuals who are seeking more comfort for themselves on one hand and a pristine nature filling on the other. The resort area is 700 m away from the sea and about the same distance from the town of Montalivet. The small, charming town is filled with the local market, bars, surf shops, and restaurants. The whole area of the Pine beach resort is equipped with bathrooms, showers, volleyball court and so on.

Surf school

Surf lessons are delivered by our best surf coaches. We will present surfing, waves and the ocean to you and your children: you will learn everything about equipment, water movement, standing on a surf board and power of the ocean. Once you catch your first wave, you are hooked for life.

We are a Family surf camp and we customise your holidays in a way you get the most out of the surf experience for your needs. Surfing is not only something we do for fun or work, it is our way of life and we are here to introduce you to how to live surf life from the inside out. Our Surfing school has two important goals performance and personal satisfaction. Our licensed surf coaches will adapt to your level regardless if you are a complete beginner or you already carve the waves. Safety is taken very seriously and all our instructors have a valid surf license and lifeguard course. With our surf coaches, you will first learn the surfing’s theory and, most importantly, spend a lot of time in the Atlantic ocean.

Active Family Holidays

Yoga classes

Yoga as a way of life is an essential part of what we do and what we are. We are dedicated to the core of what we perceive yoga truly is – a very powerful tool that helps you to unchain from the mental activities that rather cause you more stress than happiness and stillness of your mind. Our practice is held twice a day – morning and evening. The main aim is to physically and mentally prepare you for the surfing classes and relax you after them.

Our classes are combined practices from Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin yoga and we adapt each class to your need. Our yoga teacher has 15 years of experiences in practicing different styles of yoga, has the RYS 500 yoga alliance certificate, and is constantly developing her own teaching techniques but also learning from other worlds best-known teachers (Janet Stone, Shiva Rea, David Swenson, Simon Park, …) by attending different workshops. We strive to help you to individualize your own yoga practice in a way you will feel completely safe yet empowered to release your body from any tension or on the other hand, become able to strengthen your body and so maximize your everyday movement performance.

Classes are available for everyone – complete beginners to those who already practice yoga on a daily base, women, man, children (from 10+ years). Before the first class, we get to know each other a bit better to see what kind of a practice you really need in terms of your physical state and your expectations in general. We set the exact time of the classes on the day of your arrival. Sometimes we also organize some special daily workshops during summer, so feel free to check on us regarding that.

Kindergarten

For all children that are 6 years and younger, we organize a surf kindergarten, therefore parents have a peace of mind while surfing, enjoying easy beach life, having a glass of a great Bordeaux wine, practicing yoga, going for a run or just having some simple spare time for themselves. We set the kindergarten schedule and tailor it to the group needs on the first day when you come to our camp.

We are the Family resort and love to see children running and playing around. The whole place is one big playground itself as of the sand, surrounding the place. Kids love the place and are happy to find new summer friends. Our kindergarten is taken care of by our amazing trained professionals. We organize several activities that vary from sports oriented to artistic oriented ones. Our main goal is to provide pre-school children (not attending the surfing school) the chance to learn new skills, to socialize with other children.

Children are connected through the group and stay inside of the resort, so its taken good care for their safety. If any other activity out of our resort (going to the beach, …) is planned ahead, we consult with you and together we decide if & how we make this happen. There are two age groups, so we adapt the activities to the age of your children. If you have any special needs regarding your children, let us know in advance, so we have time to discuss those needs.

Adaptive Surfing

The last week in June, we have our therapist on site and we organize adaptive surfing surf school. The surf school is suitable for all children or children at heart with congenital or acquired conditions such as:

• Cerebral Palsy
• Spinal Cord Injury

The positive influence of surfing on autism is also well documented.
