As you arrive at camp, our team welcomes you with open arms. Settle into your tent, meet your fellow campers, and explore your new home for the week. In the evening, we come together for a shared dinner, followed by an introduction to the team and the week’s program. The night kicks off with a welcome party, the perfect way to break the ice and get to know your surf family.
The adventure starts with your first surf lesson, where our expert instructors guide you through the basics and get you standing on your board. Spend the rest of the day soaking up the sun, playing beach games, and enjoying the ocean. As the sun sets, it’s time for our famous Star Surf Wine & Cheese Night, accompanied by live music. It’s a great opportunity to meet everyone, share stories, and enjoy a laid-back, social evening under the stars.
After breakfast, we take fun to the next level with the Beach Olympics—a mix of team challenges, surf-related games, and hilarious competitions. Surf lessons continue throughout the day, helping you progress in the waves. In the evening, get ready for the legendary Beer Olympics—a series of fun drinking games that set the mood for a wild night out at the local bars. Expect music, laughter, and dancing until late.
After a big night, start your day with Yoga & Breath & Balance Classes to reset your body and mind. Spend the day surfing, sunbathing, or chilling with friends. In the evening, it’s Eat Out Night, where we grab pizzas, burgers, or your favorite takeaway before heading to the beach for our Sunset Chill hang with live music, volleyball, games and those golden hour vibes. As the sun sets and the lights fade the conversations get deeper and the stars come out to sparkle.
Enjoy an early breakfast before starting your day with either a morning yoga session or a quick visit to the beach for a sunrise swim. After lunch, join our optional day trip to San Sebastián, a must-visit for those wanting to explore more of the Basque culture. Spend the afternoon wandering through the Old Town, trying local pintxos and drinks, discovering secret viewpoints, and soaking in the city’s charm. As the sun sets, we check out one of San Sebastián’s most scenic spots before heading to a bar for a final toast to an incredible day.
Starting the day with our breakfast buffet and Surf Theory, where we dive deeper into reading waves, surf etiquette, and technique. Then, hit the water for another amazing surf session and a relaxed beach day. At night, get ready for one of the most special moments of the week—our Open Mic Night & Live Music Concerts. Expect cozy, wholesome vibes as campers and crew share songs, stories, and talents, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Our last full day together means making the most of it—expect lots of surfing, beach games, and competitions. It’s all about celebrating an epic week with new friends. As the sun sinks into the atlantic we gear up for our big farewell party, complete with a fancy dress theme (look out for the week’s theme guide!). It’s the perfect way to close out the week in true Star Surf style—dancing, laughing, and making plans to return!

We've opened our original Moliets Surf Camp in 2009. Over the years, it has become extremely popular with 18 to 30-year-olds and many of our guests keep coming back year after year. We've always got lots going on in our main camp, from music to drinks to workshops and competitions. If you're up for lots of fun, action and going out out, our Moliets Surf Camp is perfect for you.
Same as ourselves, lots of our returning guests have grown up and asked for a more chilled vibe surf camp. That's when our Deluxe Surf Camp was born. This surf camp still combines the social and fun atmosphere you love about Star Surf, but is a smaller, more intimate surf camp with upgraded accommodation with electricity and more areas to relax and chill out in. It great for yogis and surfers of all ages who want to kick back on their surfing holidays with a glass of wine away from the hustle and bustle.
Of course! Our surf camp tents are big enough to keep your own surf equipment in should you wish to bring it. Flight operators usually charge additional luggage fees for taking surfboards, so please check with your flight operator's Large Sports Luggage policy before arriving at the airport to avoid costly fees.
