    Om programmet

    The Surf & Teach program allows you the unique opportunity to volunteer at a local primary school or kindergarten, while learning to surf, or improve your surf skill level! 

    Depending on which age-group of children you prefer to work with, you will be placed either at a primary school, where you work with kids aged 7 - 13yrs and focus on the sports side of things. Many of the schools we work with, don't have full-time sports coaches, so the focus is placed almost entirely on academics. Having volunteers at these schools, enables the kids to have sports lessons, which leads to a more balanced life at school. Keeping them active not only helps to keep them healthy, but also energizes them to focus better in the classroom.

    Your duties at the primary school will include:
    • Basic sports coaching
    • Assist teachers with in-class lessons from time to time
    • Basic fitness training (Physical Education classes)
    • Included are sports like basketball, football and volleyball as well as running/athletics
    • Introducing new sports with your own initiative
    • Leading discussions about healthy living (exercise and nutrition)

    ** This may vary depending on the specific school and after school programs **

    If you prefer to work with younger children, we can place you at a kindergarten with children aged 3 months - 6 years. Your focus here would be on stimulating the children with creative arts, song/dance, and educational games. You will also help feed the kids breakfast and lunch, and assist the local staff with food preparation and cleaning. It's guaranteed to be loads of fun!  

    Please note that this program runs according to the school calendar (4 School Term dates below). Volunteers joining/starting within 2 weeks of the end of the school term, will automatically be placed at a kindergarten, simply because there are no in-classroom or sports lessons taking place during this time. Those starting during school holidays will work at a kindergarten until schools open.

    School Terms 2026:

    Term 1:                14 January – 27 March

    Term 2:                08 April – 26 June

    Term 3:                21 July – 02 October

    Term 4:                13 October – 09 December

    Typisk dag

    Your day will be broken up in 2 parts, as follows:


    Mornings

    You will be placed at a physical education program which runs in conjunction with our primary schools where volunteers are placed at local public/government schools. A majority of the Schools does not have equipment to conduct a sports program and volunteers have to be flexible and use their initiative. Volunteers will only have 1-3 periods of Physical Education per day, approximately 1-2 hours only and the rest of the day they will be required to assist the teachers in the classroom with lessons. This can vary depending on the activities planned for the day, or the volunteer’s creativity and initiative to conduct their own physical education lessons with the children. usual working days at the project go from 8:00 AM - 2:30 PM (Monday to Thursday) or 8:00 AM - 12:30 PM (Friday) and include the following activities.

    Please note: Our Primary School projects are not within walking distance, so volunteers need to use Uber taxis daily (10-15mins drive). We generally place at least 4 volunteers at the same school, so the Uber costs are split amongst the group

    Afternoons
    You will have two Afternoons per week where you will learn how to Surf with a professional Surf Instructor.
    Your Surf lesson will be approximately two hours  and will include pick up and drop off from the accommodation, Surf board and wet suit, Fully qualified Surf Instructor, and photos (snapshots) taken with GoPro.

    Our coaching team members are qualified, and we are a fully insured operation from the moment you step into our bus and then off the bus.  You will have 2 Surf lessons per week. Please be informed that these lessons are weather dependent and you have to be flexible to accommodate such conditions AND other bookings we can group you with, to make for a fun an enjoyable experience. Should we have no group lessons booked for a particular week, we will combine the price of the 2 group lessons and give you 1 private individual lesson.

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    Cape Town is one of Africa’s most popular tourist destinations for a reason. Its beaches, such as Camp’s Bay, are world renown, and Cape Town’s beachfront and downtown areas are lively at any time. During the day it is easy to find artisans selling their crafts or outdoor cafes to enjoy the Mediterranean climate. At night, there are many excellent bars, clubs and restaurants where locals and foreigners can relax and socialize.
    There are numerous cultural sites to visit, including the Bo-Kaap neighborhood and the Castle of Good Hope. They reflect Cape Town’s long history and help explain why the city is one of the most multicultural in the word. Robben Island, the infamous prison where political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, were held during apartheid is a difficult but necessary stop. For outdoor lovers, Cape Town has a wide mix of opportunities. Table Mountain is a breathtaking spot to visit, and there are many nearby hills, mountains and trails that make for great biking, climbing and hiking. Many, like Lion’s Head Mountain, also offer stunning views over the city and ocean below. Join in on tours down the Garden Route and a Game Drive to spot the Big 5!

    The Area 

    Observatory, or “Obs” as the locals call it, is Cape Town’s most bohemian suburb and lies about 15mins (drive) east of the city centre. Located just 2km from the University of Cape Town, this student town is a vibrant, multi-cultural community that attracts young travelers from all over the globe, all year round. Our volunteer house is a 10min walk from Lower Main Road - the main entertainment area and heartbeat of Obs. You’ll find quirky restaurants, easy going bars, live music (everything from Reggae and Afro-jazz to Contemporary) and tons of cozy little coffee shops and cafés. During the Apartheid era, Observatory was one of the few “grey” suburbs – areas where people of mixed race, religion and cultures were allowed to live together. This spirit has lived on and has resulted in a suburb unique in its diversity. Our volunteers will definitely love the sights and sounds of Obs. Within a 5km radius of Obs, you’ll find the Newlands rugby and cricket stadiums, various shopping centers, museums, art galleries and stage theatres, hiking trails and of course The Old Biscuit Mill - this vibrant spot is home to night and day markets, designer stores, delicious farmstalls, decadent cafes as well as an awesome line-up of festivals and events.

    Mat og drikke

    Breakfast is provided on weekdays (Monday to Friday only). Lunch, Dinner and weekend meals are the volunteer's expense. 

    Breakfast is self-service and includes coffee, tea with bread/toast, eggs, at least 2 cereal types, and a selection of fresh seasonal fruits. 

    The volunteer house is located within walking distance of numerous restaurants (everything from steak houses and burger joints, to Sushi/Asian cuisine) and small corner cafes and coffee shops (for light meals), as well as well-known fast food outlets (KFC, McDonalds, Nandos, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc.). Uber Eats offers a delivery service for most of these.

    Volunteers also often buy groceries from the nearby supermarket and have home-cooked meals together in groups - great bonding experiences and often loads of fun!! Just try not to burn down our kitchens!!
