Polhena Family Surf Camp

Family Surf Camp

Surf holidays with kids – with shared surf time, childcare at camp, tuk-tuk transfers and other families who want to combine surfing and time by the ocean.

At the Family Surf Camp in Polhena, you will find a setup that makes surfing with family a little easier: shared surf time with surf coaches from Monday to Friday, shared meals, transfers, childcare at camp and a family-style atmosphere with a maximum of five families at a time.

When booking, first select your family room: either a room with one double bed and two single beds, or a room with two double beds. Next, add the appropriate package for each guest travelling with you. The guest’s age on the day of arrival at the camp determines which package to book.

Packages & Services

Surf Package (aged 10+)

The Surf Package is for everyone aged 10 and above. It includes accommodation in a family room, breakfast, lunch, 4 dinners, tuk-tuk transfers, shared surf time in the afternoon with surf coaches, feedback in the water, 1 video analysis per week and free surf time outside the shared sessions.

For the shared surf time in the water, guests need to be able to swim safely. On site, our coaches will also look at which conditions and content fit your level.

The guidance in the water takes place in English. Our coaches have a lot of experience with international guests and German-speaking families, and guide the sessions in a calm, clear and understandable way.

Price: EUR 189

Junior Camp Package (aged 6-9)

The Junior Camp Package is for children aged 6 to 9. This package focuses on accommodation, meals, childcare at camp and shared family camp life.

It includes accommodation in a family room, breakfast, lunch, 4 dinners, tuk-tuk transfers, childcare at camp, games, books, small activities and the kitchen corner for small meals.

Childcare takes place at the camp, not at the beach or in the water. The Junior Camp Package does not include the shared surf time with surf coaches. You are welcome to add Private Coaching if you would like.

Price: EUR 60

Infant Stay (aged 0-5)

Children aged 0 to 5 stay for free. Please still include them in your booking so we can plan your stay properly.

For children of this age, no surf offer is included. In everyday camp life, our team creates small moments of relief and variety – with games, books and small activities. Responsibility stays with the parents, so for children aged 0 to 5, one parent should always stay at the camp.

How your week works

Bookings run from Sunday to Saturday. Arrival is on Sunday, check-out is on Saturday by 12:00 pm.

The day starts with breakfast at the camp. In the morning, you can see what feels right: free surf, a beach trip, pool time, playing, reading or simply starting the day slowly. At midday, there is lunch and time to catch your breath.

From Monday to Friday, you will have shared surf time with surf coaches in the afternoon. You will head to the beach together with the other families, go into the water together and get feedback, tips and support. Afterwards, the day winds down at camp – with pool time, dinner, conversations or tired legs after a long day by the ocean.

Shared surf time & add-ons

The shared surf time in the afternoon is less strict than a classic surf lesson. Your coaches stay close by in the water, offering feedback and support as needed – without a fixed routine everyone has to follow.

This keeps the session flexible enough for different levels, daily moods and family rhythms.

You can also add Private Coaching: 90 minutes with a surf coach if you want to work on something more specifically or add another guided session alongside the shared surf time. Like the shared surf time, Private Coaching takes place in English.

Yoga sessions can also be booked in advance or added spontaneously at the camp – as a balance to surfing or as a separate offer if not everyone in the family wants to surf.

Childcare at camp

Childcare is there to create small pockets of freedom and give your children a good time at the camp – with games, books and small activities. At the same time, you can see what works for you each day: more time in the water, more time at the camp, time together or taking turns.

Important: childcare takes place at the camp, not at the beach or in the water. For time together at the beach or in the water, you will be out as a family.

Accommodation in Polhena

You will stay at the camp together with a maximum of five families: with family rooms, air conditioning, private bathrooms, a pool, dining area and a kitchen corner. The camp is easy to navigate, open and set up for families.

Who the Family Surf Camp is for

The Family Surf Camp in Polhena is made for families who want surfing to be a real part of their holiday, without having to organise every transfer, surf spot and daily plan themselves.

It is a good fit if you would like support in the water, enjoy being around other families at the camp and are looking for something practical that still feels like a holiday.

If you are looking for a large resort with an all-day kids programme, or if you want to plan every day completely independently from the camp, another offer might be a better fit for you.
