Surfing:We slept well and tight in our tents. Most nights we don't even remember how and when we got there.
Other (e.g. Surroundings, Nightlife, etc.):We participated once and it was good with Jamie who is full of energy and a legend. But as we surfed before we decided to just grab some boards and surf somewhere less crowded.
The camp in Moliets was amazing, we initially stayed for 2 weeks during July/August. The teamer were really nice and only there to help if you need sth. instead of watching you all the time, if you destroy things or something like that. Nobody was remotely bothered that we started to play Flipcup (drinking game) every single afternoon in the middle of the camp. We started off with 6 people playing and always ended up with at least 20 and eventually moved the whole competition to the beach volleyball field for more space. Of course, we made sure that there is enough beer. You could always find people who want to party and drink in that camp. And even more people when the waves were kind of bad, so there is always stuff you can do and we felt like 2 weeks were too short, so we came back after going home for 1 1/2 weeks. The second time was as amazing as the first time.
