An incredible weekend at a purpose-built camp in a private woodland in Cornwall. Surfing and coasteering activities are delivered from central Newquay. Each of the sessions is two hours long and packed with adventure. It’s all about having fun in a relaxed environment, being guided & hosted throughout, while hanging out with like-minded folks.
You will meet your hosts, guides, and other adventurers on your weekend at our HQ bang in the centre of Newquay at 6:00 PM. Once the warm welcomes and introductions have been made, you'll drive in convoy to our Wild Camp, a 10-minute drive from the town.
If you are arriving by public transport, let us know and we can help arrange a lift with the instructors or other adventurers!
Once at the camp, it's pizza night and time to get to know everyone else on the weekend. It's a social affair, and we'll make sure you have time to grab a pizza and maybe a favourite drink before we leave.
After dinner, you then have the rest of the evening to become accustomed to camp living, sit around the fire, and relax.
After a camp breakfast of cereals, fruits, teas, and coffees you'll head back into Newquay for your first day of activities.
You'll meet your guide at 9ish for a short briefing before heading down to the beach for your surf lesson. Most people on the trip are beginners, but there is often an option for something a little more challenging, should you want to.
There will be plenty of time between activities to grab lunch, stroll around Newquay’s many surf shops, or head back to the base and hang out in the garden.
In the afternoon, you’ll take a short walk to our coasteering location, commonly known as the ‘Gazzle.’ Don’t worry if you aren’t confident in the sea; your guide will explain and demonstrate all the skills you need to have a fantastic time.
After a refreshing breakfast, you'll wave goodbye to the wild camp and head back to Newquay, jump into a wetsuit and hit the Cornish waves one last time.
Your second surf lesson builds on the previous day's experience – today is all about having fun in the surf!
By 1:00 PM, you'll typically all surfed out, and with your appetite for adventure satisfied it’s time to say fond farewells.
