Vegan Surf Camp

Vegan Surf Camp in France

Welcome to the Vegan Surf Camp* Moliets on the southwest coast of France

Europe’s biggest vegan summer gathering!

Open from end of May to mid September

The Vegan Surf Camp was started with the intention to create a place where everyone can gather for summer and enjoy the best this place can give. The love of the outdoors brought us to settle our camp in Moliets-Plage, a town we now call home. Our camp is located under the trees and 500 meters from the beach of les Landes, that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Our camp grew out of a passion for sharing a healthy lifestyle combining surfing, yoga and organic vegan food.
All our meals are freshly prepared using organic, local produce to nourish our bodies in the best way. We use lots of different fruits and veggies so our dishes are vibrant with colours and flavors.

Alongside a healthy diet, we love to be active, and as huge yoga enthusiasts, we like to have diversity in our yoga planning with multiple styles for you to discover. With up to four different classes a day, you have lots of opportunities to get sweaty with a dynamic practice or unwind with a Yin yoga.

Your holidays with us are a time to go back to the simplicity of life, and what really matters; to eat well, to play, to rest, to get back to nature and create meaningful connections with people that share common values.
We love that we have people coming from all around the world, solo travelers, groups of friends, couples and families; this is what makes the Vegan Surf Camp so unique and gives this sense of community we cherish.

We’re a team stoked on surfing and love to share this passion with anyone who wants to learn. The surfing lifestyle stole our hearts and will soon get yours too; we live with the rhythm of tides, and on surf-less days we go on walks alongside the enchanting  Courant d’Huchet that flows between the rolling sand dunes and the dense pine forests of les Landes.

This proximity with nature motivates us everyday to protect our environment and support those who want to be part of the solution. We love to connect with other organisations and activists, and every summer we host conferences and workshops by various individuals and associations involved in environmentalism and other types of social change.
As an international camp, we want to make this accessible for all, so all our presentations are held in English. If you’re concerned about your level of English, our international staff can always help and guide you.

We offer three different types of stays :

• Yoga & Surf, our main option, a weekly stay with different accommodation options, in tents or in mobile homes  (open from end of May to mid of September)
• Yoga retreats: our all inclusive weekly retreats with an initiation to surf(open in June and September)
• Salty Waves, our 18+  Vegan & fun weekly stays, a more affordable option for young people during the high season ( 18 – 28 yrs) (open from beginning of July to mid of September)
  *we do not cater people from outside the camp

Organic Vegan Food

Organic products, extraordinary flavors, sustainability, well-being and a relaxing atmosphere are some of the most important things for us. That’s why in our kitchen, we use only seasonal organic vegan food that is locally sourced. Consuming a locally sourced, vegan diet is not only kinder to your body but also to the planet and to animals. It’s a way of minimizing our impact on the environment, nourishing our body, and reducce animal suffering. Not to mention the food tastes even better knowing that it’s coming directly from harvest to table.

All our food at the camp is prepared daily by our passionate and experienced kitchen team and we’re big enthusiasts on consuming a colorful diet. Our menu is crafted mindfully with the intention of providing high quality vegan meals abundant in flavor and variety. Not only do you get to enjoy a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables, but you also fill up on a diverse source of antioxidants and minerals.

At the camp, you begin your day with a buffet of fruits, warm dishes such as porridge and miso soup. You will also be able to find a range of salty and sweet spreads to enjoy with freshly baked bread sourced from a local baker. For dinner, we prepare a buffet with a variety of mouth-watering dishes. You can choose to try a bit of everything for a colorful, vibrant plate. Or opt to fill up on the main dish- whatever you fancy! You can always come back for seconds or thirds too if you can’t decide on the first go.
