2023 Junior Camps

• Surfing: There are 4 hours of surfing lessons a day and a ratio of 8 children per instructor. The lessons use special equipment for beginners, guaranteeing maximum security throughout the course. This activity includes lunch on the beach at around 13.00. Surfing lessons take place from Monday to Saturday.
• Canoeing: Canoeing takes place in the capital Arrecife and is led by professional instructors. The children navigate through the Charco San Gines bridges leading to Castillo de San Gabriel. Here, there is a small beach, where the children will learn to flip their canoes in the event of capsizing, and to keep their balance while rowing a professional canoe. There will be a support zodiac with them at all times.
• Yoga: The children will do yoga accompanied by music on Famara pier, a peaceful spot by the sea. Most of the children who come to the camp, despite not having any previous experience of doing yoga, end up loving it. Doing yoga also helps to improve surfing technique.
• Climbing: We will do climbing in a climbing wall in the capital of Arrecife, an enclosure enabled for the practice of this activity. We will be divided into teams and we will play to achieve a goal: May the best team win!
• Tourist trips: There will be a trip to tourist sites on the south of the island by bus. This will include stops at some of Lanzarote’s various tourist sites, such as Timanfaya National Park (The land of fire), the “Green Puddle”, the Hotbeds or the Salt Lands. There will also be a stop … beach where there will be a chance to swim.
• Snorkelling in Puerto del Carmen: Puerto de Carmen is one of the island’s tourist sites, with a small beach called “Playa Chica”. This is where the snorkelling will take place. This is where the diving schools choose to do their beginners courses as it boasts calm, transparent waters.
• Escape room: Game to develop in team within several rooms with different themes (room of the ghosts or the room of the pirates) a whole enigma with tests and riddles to escape from them in a limited time.
• Hiking trips: The hiking trips are suitable for everyone. These will take the children around Famara, the Coast and between Famara-Caleta de Caballo and the area’s volcanoes. The route is chosen based on the weather conditions. These trips will show the children just how beautiful the nature around Famara is.
• Group workshops: There will be a wide variety of workshops to do, including:
  • Kite building, designing and painting your own miniature surf board.
  • Photography workshop.
  • Globoflexia workshop and facepainting.
• Entertainment: This year, Calima has organized the “Calimasurf Olympic Games”. These involve a wide range of skill and sports games as well as casual talks about “sport” and the values that sport can teach you: participation, teamwork, competition, winning and losing gracefully, creativity without electronic devices or consoles etc. At the end, “Olympic Certificates” will be distributed to the children.
• Farewell party: Here, the good times end…but the great times begin! This will take place in the surfhouse, a place where the children will have enjoyed such great times. There will be a barbecue, a certificate and photo distribution certifying you as a real surfer! There will also be different prizes awarded, from best surfer to friendliest participant. And of course there will be music and dancing too.
