Frequently Asked Questions
What sets Vegan Surf Camp apart from other companies?
Vegan Surf Camp is run by the non-profit Association L’Amour de la Terre, founded in 1995. We focus on community, sustainable living, surf, yoga, and high-quality vegan food. Rather than a typical holiday camp, we create meaningful shared experiences rooted in connection, nature, and well-being.
