Junior Camp with Brothers surf school: keep the kids (and parents) happy!
The team at Brothers surf school are finally able to announce their Junior Camp summer programme 2021 which will run on weekdays from 14th June to 7th September offering extreme fun for kids from 6 to 12 years of age.
This is one of the very best experiences your kid can have in Levanto. My son can’t wait to see all the friends he madeat junior camp over the past couple of summers and just thinking of the camp puts a smile on his face and reminds us that summer is nearly here.
The Junior Camp is run by the staff of the Brothers surf school, a group of very capable, enthusiastic (and patient) young surfers who will take excellent care of your kids from 10am til 1pm every morning or from 4pm til 7pm in the afternoons, Monday to Friday. The only requirement is that your child can swim, as the week’s activities are largely acquatic. When surf’s up there are surf lessons of course, but the fun also includes skateboarding along the cycle path to snorkelling spots, or taking stand up paddleboards, kayaks or pedalos along the rocky shore of Punta Mesco to explore caves or jump from the rocks into deep pools. The kids are given their own kit of Tshirt, hat and backpack and a snack is provided to keep up the energy levels – focaccia!
Whenever I drop my son at camp I wish I could be little again so I too could join in the fun on their outings. But although adults can’t join in, having the kids busy enjoying themselves for a few hours gives parents an excellent chance to do something else instead.
A few ideas for what to do with the time while Brothers take care of the kids!
- trekking from Levanto to Punta Mesco: this is a medium grade hike through woods and along a cliff path above the sea affording fabulous views along the way and a panoramic view of the Cinque Terre and Portovenere from the top.
- E-bike tour: Matteo who runs the local e-bike tour company is an excellent, knowledgable and fun guide and offers many different itineraries to suit all tastes. E-biking is easy and the excursions are well organised and always great fun.
- just relax!: a snooze on a lounger in the shade, a dip in the sea, a peaceful drink in one of the local bars, or just read a good book on the bench in the shade of the beautiful old railway tunnel archways of the cycle path between Bonassola and Framura. I see a gentleman there every morning doing just that and he seems like a very contented old man!
All you have to do now is contact Brothers (DAVIDE +39 3931835417 SHOP +39 0187 80 75 61) and book your kids in for a week. If you are only here for a few days and the surf is up don’t miss the chance to book surf lessons (or a paddle board excursion if the sea is calm). Have fun!
