News from Surfivor Camp

Since three weeks Surfivor camp owns a volleyball and rugby field on the camping site. During the stay of the British Whitgift school group at the camp we have been very active! Not only with surfing lesson and a contest, but with building the new sports fields as well. While the weather is still good, people can make use of it to enjoy sports.


Last weekend the local municipality arranged for the seventh time an event in Cortegaça, Fim de Semana Radical (Radical Weekend). Adventurous and radical activities were organized: there was music, paintball competitions, a balloon and Surfivor arranged free surf lessons for young locals. People were in contact with nature and sports, what made the atmosphere perfect with lots of adrenaline. In the evenings everyone could go to the local bars for some after-partying.
This week (1st - 10th of august) there is arranged a Medieval festival in a village not far from Cortegaça, Viagem Medieval in Santa Maria da Feira. There is music, stands were can be bought food and typical medieval and Portuguese souvenirs. Tonight we’re gonna check it out and I’ll report you about it next week!

Furthermore is there made an online community centre where the former surfivors and people who want to surfive can stay in contact. Everybody is gonna be able to exchange their pictures made on the camp and leave messages. People who haven’t been at Surfivor Camp yet, can get an overview of the atmosphere in the camp. It is perfect! Every year everybody says: ‘let’s stay in contact’, or ‘I’ll send you the pics’, but in reality this does not happens often. Go to http://surfivorcamp.hyves.nl a.s.a.p.!

My last announcement is that Surfivor Camp is gonna be open in the low season this year. Since the beginning of the spring season Surfivor has a surf house where surfivors can stay. We are very happy with the house: there is a cosy living room, two dormitories, a kitchen, a bathroom and a garage where the surf boards and wetsuits are stored.
