Practise kitesurf safely in one of the most popular destinations in the world

OVERVIEW

Anyone between the age of 14 and 17 and of any skill level is more than welcome to join our Kitesurf Camp.

All difficulty levels

Whole package included

At Lenguaventura, we have adapted our kitesurf camp to meet our young campers needs and endeavour to cater for different demands and capabilities.

We run our Kitesurf Camps for teens in Tarifa in cooperation with different kitesurf schools. After many years of successful working together we consider them our friends who have proven in many occasion that they care as much for our teenagers as we do. The teens are guaranteed to use the safest and most adequate equipment, given their technical skills, body weight and the wind-force, allowing a safe and quick learning experience.

All three schools are IKO (International Kiteschool Organisation) affiliated centres. This affiliation means that the school follows the highest international quality standards to organise efficient and safe kitesurfing courses. They have an international team of experienced, multilingual and certified instructors, using the latest teaching methods, making it possible for any student to safely become an independent kitesurfer.

Choose the intensity of your Kitesurf camp experience:

  • Group course (four students, sharing the kitesurf gear available in pairs): The goals during the summer camp are to learn the basics of kitesurfing, try a new experience or consolidate knowledge in kitesurfing achieved beforehand and choose to progress at a slower pace.
  • Semi-private course (two students, each one with own kitesurf gear): The goals are to learn or improve quickly and with the best possible efficiency to reach the next skill level.
  • Rental Kitesurf gear and supervision: Advanced independent kitesurfers have the opportunity to hire kitesurf gear and getting supervision of an instructor ashore. This is a great way for experienced kitesurfers to practice in one of the best kitesurfing spots in the world in a safe environment.   

The kitesurfing group lessons as well as the semi-private courses will take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for three hours per day, in total 12 hours per week. Kitesurf gear rental covers the days and the time that the group kitesurfing courses are running (12 hours per week).

The kitesurf gear includes a board, kite, helmet, trapeze, wetsuit, lifejacket.

Skill levels

  • Level 0. Starting from zero experience.
  • Level 1. The student can fly a kite on beach.
  • Level 2. The student can body drag in the water and water re-launch the kite.
  • Level 3. The student is able to do the water start.
  • Level 4. Advanced level — able to ride upwind.

Recommendation:

With a level 3 or above, semi-private tuition is recommended in order for the student’s skills to benefit the maximum from the kitesurf lessons and make the lessons the most enjoyable. With a level 4 — 5 gear rental could be considered. 

  • 1 — 4 weeks with instruction or gear rental and supervision

  • Group size: never exceeds four  participants in a group course and two in a semi-private course.

Communication skills: 

12 hours a week, always Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the morning, working on communication skills in English or Spanish through areas that promote the personal growth of the young person.

Being in direct contact with the target language means that the Campers practice from the very first moment. The immersion in the language is complete. The activities are instructive and very enjoyable. In addition, there is nothing better than making friends from other countries who speak other languages to practice the language outside the classroom.

Excursions:

Wednesdays and Saturdays full day excursions are on the schedule. A combination of cultural, sport and leisure activities.

Lenguaventura Summer Camp is only possible with the support of a wonderful group of people who share the same enthusiasm, which we are proud to call our team. At Lenguaventura, we are lucky to have great professionals who share our philosophy.

Our staff are always on hand to support our teenage campers and fix things if they go wrong to ensure the students always feel protected and properly looked after.

The busiest airport in Southern Spain is Málaga. For students coming from the British Isles, Gibraltar is a possible option. This service is included in the price as long as arrivals and departures are on Sundays from Málaga or Gibraltar.

The teens are all picked up and dropped of at the airport Málaga or Gibraltar whenever their arrival or departure time is. As our campers come from all over the world we don’t propose arrival and departure times. If possible not choose arrival flights too late at night.

We also fetch the teenagers on other days than Sundays and at the airport in Jerez de la Frontera or Seville at an additional cost.

It is possible that parents accompany their son/daughter to the Camp. Arrival time should preferably be after 12:00 pm. At the end of the Camp parents who pick up their children could come between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Parents should advise  Lenguaventura in advance about the time they plan to pick up.

All information about arrivals and meeting point at the airport is available in our personalized customer center to which all registered campers and their parents have access.

1. What is the difference between a group kitesurf course and a semi-private course and which course is the best fit for my child?

It is the intensity above all that makes the difference. For those students who have never practiced kitesurfing and who want to have a first experience to find out whether they really like this sport a group course with four students, sharing the kitesurf gear available in pairs is recommended. This course is less intensive but at all times very professional and every student learns a lot as a team member. It can also be an option for these students with more advanced levels but who prefer to consolidate their knowledge without rush and enjoy sharing the course with peers of the same level.

If a student is already an advanced kitesurfer and the goal is to reach the next level or to progress in the most efficient way and at a fast pace, a semi-private course (two students with their own kitesurf gear each) in this case is highly recommended. The kitesurf school recommends semi-private classes from level 3 onwards.

2. What happens if wind conditions do not allow to practise water sports?

We are a pure water sport camp. That is why we are very flexible and spare no effort to change our program when the wind conditions require it. If the wind is unsuitable on a scheduled water sport day, we recover as many hours as possible on more suitable days. Alternatively, we offer activities such as surf, SUP, wakeboard or go for an Adventure activity.

3. What is the situation when my child comes alone to the Camp?

Your child will not be the only one coming alone and we know there is nothing to fear, as kids coming alone are very open to new friendships and generally fit in with one another very quickly.

4. How is the supervision organised?

The Camp staff takes care of the kids around the clock. During the night we have a night counselor.

5. Do you admit children of 13 years?

Yes we do, especially if they come with an older brother or sister or if parents are sure that their kid/ kids can cope with being away from home. These young teenagers have to be aware that they will be amongst the youngest which is not a problem for the summer camp and hopefully neither for themselves.

6. Ideal length of stay for my child at summer camp

1 week: One week Camp terms are used to introduce young people to overnight camps
2 weeks: Offers a great balance between the cnvenient summer schedule, having fun outdoors and positive youth development experiences
3 weeks: To deepen coexistence, friendship and explore new skills
4 weeks: A complete stay that allows the campers to participate in all activities
