Surf camps in Asturias have a wide range of possibilities available thanks to the more than 300 kilometres of coastline that this Autonomous Community has to offer. One of the best areas in Spain to learn to surf, without a doubt.

In Asturias, these programmes have options for all ages. Here the word "camp" is not only associated with children. Surf camps are courses the aim of which is to learn how to surf intensively and have accommodation in the school itself or in establishments that are associated with it.

They can last for a week or several weeks, although there are also short-term courses where you can take advantage of the weekend or a long weekend. Several hours are devoted in the mornings to carry out group surf lessons in which the students are grouped according to their level. Depending on the intensity of the camp there may also be classes in the afternoon. The rest of the time the students have the material at their disposal to practice on their own what they have been learning.

Here you can see some of the activities that usually take place in a surf camp in Asturias.

When there are no surf lessons, other activities are organised on the facilities and sports courts of the place where they are located, and are made available to the students so that they can combine this aquatic discipline with other sports.
