California Surf Camp

California Wood Camp sits in the heart of the Landes pine forest, offering a tranquil retreat for surfers visiting the legendary breaks of Lacanau on France's Atlantic coast. The camp covers over 6,000 square meters of natural land, where guests can disconnect from the everyday and focus on surfing, wellness, and organic living. The surf school has operated for over 10 years and caters to all levels, from complete beginners to advanced surfers looking to refine their skills. Small group sizes ensure personalized instruction, and the school partners with quality brands like Rip-Curl, Ocean Storm, and Side Shore for equipment. Beyond surfing, the camp offers paddle boarding, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, and sailing through local partnerships. Yoga sessions are led by instructor Justine, and the property features amenities including beach volleyball, scattered hammocks for relaxation, outdoor terraces, pergolas, and a well-stocked library. The camp takes its ecological responsibility seriously, growing vegetables in an on-site organic garden that supplies the kitchen. When guests choose full board, meals feature fresh produce from this garden alongside traditional French cuisine. The common areas and rooms have been carefully renovated and decorated with a personal touch by the owners.
