In my 15 years working at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp, I’ve always tried to piece together what has kept me here so long without becoming bored or longing for more…\u00a0 For one, I’ve always felt proud that I worked in a sales position and have never felt like a wishy-washy sales woman. \u00a0This isn\u2019t the place where we make cold calls to potential buyers, selling them on a fantasy product that we talk up to sound like paradise; this vacation really is paradise!\u00a0 \u00a0Number two, my bosses are pretty friggin\u2019 amazing! Y’all reading this? :)\u00a0 Thirdly, I’m working literally 1 minute walking from the water’s edge in one of the most beautiful countries in the world where I get to spend my lunch hour on the beach, surfing, or just relaxing with the happiest people on Earth. \u00a0\u00a0Lastly and most importantly, this job has allowed me to lay my roots in Costa Rica. Not only from a financial standpoint, but also from a social and community standpoint. My co-workers have become my best friends, I’ve met guests from every corner of the world, I even know people that met their soulmate here at surf camp and went on to get married years later. Witch’s Rock is truly a magical spot that creates a feeling that when you’re here, you’re home again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I’ve met so many guests over the years that I consider good friends of mine. \u00a0They’re from all corners of the earth, each with their own different life story and life lessons to pass on. \u00a0We’re so fortunate to be surrounded by enriching people and learn their unique stories. \u00a0Shout out to Joe from Brooklyn, the Nelson’s who argue over who gets Joe’s Apartment, The Fortney\u2019s from New Jersey, Mark our Atlanta skateboarder, Kim from Florida, Darryl in Canada, the Orsmond Family from South Africa, Sara from Texas, one of the funniest women I know, and so many more!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We had a guy who was down here a couple of weeks ago on his 12th trip to Witch\u2019s Rock Surf Camp. \u00a0He brought his son down along with him many times, who by the way was celebrating his last surf trip as a single man (congratulations Justin!!), \u00a0and this trip he was finally able to get his adult daughter here. \u00a0Meeting her, I immediately felt the urge to hug her, as she felt like I had known her already. \u00a0What she said struck deep with me: \u201cI am so excited to be here and having such a wonderful time, I feel like I am meeting my Dad\u2019s 2nd family\u201d. \u00a0It blew me away how a small beachfront hotel in Central America could create this type of community organically. \u00a0Of course their story isn\u2019t the only one, but it’s the only one I can clearly remember as it just happened, and again, I’ve been here a LONG time (old woman writing here).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It would be hard to think about leaving this \u201cfamily\u201d that I have here at Witch\u2019s Rock. \u00a0Anyone who’s ever come down and surfed with us knows exactly what I’m talking about. \u00a0If you ever had any doubt of which surf camp to choose, know that you’ll most certainly feel something bigger than just a vacation while with us.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We’ve found that our <\/span>Facebook<\/a> and <\/span>Instagram<\/a> pages are a great way for Witch\u2019s Rock family members to stay in touch, ask a question, post travels tips, or network to find a surf crew.
