Meet the fam

A surf camp changed our lives forever.

The history of Fam

Guess where we met each other?

fam hostels & surf camps

The idea of Fam started in Portugal, where all of us met in a -you’ll never guess it- hostel & surfcamp. We all had an amazing time together and our experience in the camp led to a friendship that would last forever. After revisiting the camp every year after we had met, an idea was born. We wanted to recreate that experience, that magic of facilitating connections for life too. So here we are, 3 years later, opening our first Fam Surf Camp and Hostel in 2024-2025. Ready for you to create your own Fam.
