Tortuga Surf Summer Camp: Kids' Surf and Watersports Weeks in Sardinia

Camp runs in three separate weeks in summer 2026: 20–27 June, 27 June–4 July and 4–11 July. Each is a full week of water sports for children and teenagers aged 8 to 15. Campers are grouped by age and ability, and the programme alternates between practical sessions in the water and theoretical lessons on shore, so beginners learn the basics of safety, positioning and reading the sea before they are out on a board.

Surfing is the core sport, but the week deliberately rotates through several disciplines: windsurf, skate, wing and SUP lessons all feature. That rotation is what makes this different from a single-sport surf school — a camper who doesn't take to surfing on day one still has windsurfing, skating or paddleboarding to throw themselves into. The week is built around being in and around the sea rather than sitting in a classroom.

Beyond the lessons, the camp packs in excursions and activities that most surf schools don't run: sailing, SUP trips into sea caves, a night in a tent under the stars, and a Wood Wave day. These are the parts campers tend to talk about afterwards — the cave paddle and the night under canvas in particular.

Meals are covered in full: breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included for the week. Safety is handled with an insurance policy plus CONI insurance, and every participant becomes a FISSW card-carrying member for the duration.

Tortuga Surf School runs the camp and handles registration directly. Places are confirmed only once the full process is complete: the liability discharge and minor member registration forms, an online application with the child's medical certificate and a parent's identity document, a €300 deposit by bank transfer, and the transfer receipt sent by email or WhatsApp. The school publishes a brochure with the daily schedule, accommodation details and the full fee.
