Spots available
Santander 12 to 16 yo
Our surf camp in Cantabria is 200 metres from Loredo beach, on the Bay of Santander, where surfing got its start in Spain. Eight kilometres of sand, with waves for those standing up for the first time and for those who already want to improve.
It is for boys and girls aged 12 to 16 and runs from 1 to 15 July 2027. Alongside the surfing there are multi-activities — beach volleyball, football, relay games, music — and excursions. And group challenges, which we use to build team spirit and perseverance.
Most of our campers are Spanish, so Spanish is the language of everyday camp life, in the water, at meals and with friends. For campers from abroad it is a natural way to practise it, and they are never the only ones: every July boys and girls from many countries come to Loredo.
The journey from Madrid and back is included, and they always travel with their counsellors. If you are coming from elsewhere, we pick them up at the airport or the station. Their counsellor keeps their phone, and from the fourth day there is one hour of calls a day.

Our Layos Camp monitors, trained in our official Castillo de Layos school, will be in charge of attending to the students the rest of the day. Completing a program in which there will be no lack of fun, team activities; soccer, beach volleyball, gymkhanas, chess, music. We will give special importance to our main “challenges” in the “teen” programs. They reinforce the values that we understand to be most important at this age. Teamwork, camaraderie, will and perseverance.

It is almost the same at every location. A typical day: 8:45 wake up, tidy the room and have breakfast; 10:00 activities; 12:30 swim and free time; 13:00 lunch and a rest with a film; 16:00 swim and afternoon snack; 16:30 activities; 19:00 showers; 20:15 dinner; 21:00 evening activity, and at 22:00 a meeting with their counsellor. In Santander and Tarifa the swims are at the beach. At Sotogrande-Tarifa the day starts at 9:00, and three days a week the group spends the whole day in Sotogrande (10:00 to 19:00) sailing and playing padel and tennis. On excursion and camping days the timetable changes.
The age of our students is homogeneous which allows us to carry out all the activities together. A small number of students creates a family atmosphere in the camp.
Homemade food made in the camp with quality, fresh and natural products. Students participate in culinary tasks and learn to cook and be self-sufficient. Special food for diets, allergies or intolerances.
There is a medical center 5 minutes from the facilities that attends us 24 hours a day. For possible visits to the doctor, we ask you to send us a copy of the printed social security card or, failing that, the private insurance. All children are also covered by private camp insurance
For LayosCamp Santander (Loredo, next to Somo beach) it is mandatory to wear the 3 t-shirts, 3 pants and the sweatshirt: €160 uniform.
We accept uniforms from other years or from former students. The uniform must be ordered at the time of online registration. As every year we ask you to please bring a small suitcase.
In all programs we include round trip transportation from Madrid to each camp. We make an appointment with the parents at a meeting point and the children always travel accompanied by monitors. A private minibus takes us to the different activities and excursions.
LayosCamp offers a collection and delivery service at the airport or station for those children traveling from abroad, at an extra 70 € per camper provided flights or trains arrive within the recommended time window; outside that window, please contact the office. We will need full arrival and departure details.

From the fourth day of camp there is one hour of calls a day, at a time we will give you. During that hour you can call the camp phone or your child's mobile. The rest of the time, their camp counsellor keeps the phone.
You can carry out the entire registration process through the Web.
