Watersports camps<\/strong> bring together all the summer camp options where water takes centre stage: surfing on the Cantabrian coast, kayaking inland, and sailing and paddleboarding in Mediterranean coastal areas. This guide explains what a watersports camp is and what Natuaventura offers within that category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is a watersports camp<\/h2>\n

A watersports camp is a summer camp whose main \u2014 or very prominent \u2014 activity is a water-based discipline. The most common are:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Surfing<\/h3>\n

Introduction or improvement with an official school. Board and wetsuit are provided by the organisation. Usually requires a coast with waves (Bay of Biscay, Atlantic).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kayaking \/ canoeing<\/h3>\n

River descent or paddling on a reservoir and calm coast. A more accessible discipline for younger ages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sailing<\/h3>\n

Introduction to optimist or catamaran sailing. Requires a bay or lake with stable conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Paddleboarding<\/h3>\n

Board with paddle on calm water. An excellent complement to other disciplines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Surfing on the Cantabrian coast<\/h3>\n

Natuaventura’s surf camps are based at Albergue Montecorona (Calle Aviche 37, Santander), in the Monte neighbourhood. La Maruca beach is 10 minutes from the facility. The official surf school provides the board and wetsuit; theory takes place on the sand, and the rest is done by the waves, the sun and fellow campers cheering from the shore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
