What happens between the lessons during a week session?
For teenagers under 18, free time is supervised by a team of qualified activity leaders. Spare time is dedicated to a well-deserved rest or to different activities such as beach volley, bowling, shopping, swimming or lazing on the beach.
Activities also vary according to surfing events scheduled by the city of Biarritz (competitions, screenings.). Same for evenings: they are always organized and supervised by activity leaders and depend on what participants want to do. |
