Does your idea of a girls’ ultimate getaway include surfing, kitesurfing, rockclimbing, mountainbiking, hiking and yoga? Then we have found the trip for you!  ‘For Chicas Only’, a seven day camp for women on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, offers the adventure-sports experience of a lifetime, and if you’re an ExplorerGirl, a 10% discount.

Imagine sleeping in a villa for a whole week on a secluded island, off the coast of Morocco, spending days learning to kitesurf, catching waves, conquering rocks,  biking and hiking volcanoes while between sessions practicing yoga, capoeira and muoy thai. Food prepared by an Italian chef fuels energy after returning from action-packed days shared with like-minded chicas! If that’s not enough, to top it off, look great in exclusively-designed FCO gear!
 
If you think we are making this up then you just might have to see for yourself, right! (We want, too!!)

Scoring a week or two off work might be the hardest part!  Camp founders Petra and Monica promise to go out of their way to look after you providing local air-port transfers, double-room accommodation in a villa with a pool, all meals, professional instruction plus five outfits for activities during the week. This means you don’t have to lug your wetsuit and climbing shoes around – they have it all there for you!

‘For Chicas Only’ packs fun and adventure into every day, and gives you the chance to kick back in a sun-drenched resort town! Its base camp, Fuerteventura, is part of the Canary Island chain off the coast of Africa.  It’s the second-largest in the chain after Tenerife, and shares the same latitude as Florida and Mexico with the same warm temperatures! Fuerteventura has the longest beaches in the Canary archipelago, and is a paradise for watersports such as windsurfing and surfing.

A typical day at camp starts with a morning breakfast supplying energy for your time out on the water kitesurfing or surfing, breaking for lunch at noon before climbing the local rocks by 1:30, then finding yourself home in time for a capoeria or muoy thai lesson, a little Asthana Yoga and closing with dinner at 8:30 and catching some z’s before you do it all again. Whew! Even the most extreme ExplorerGirls is sure to be worked!

‘For Chicas Only’ was founded by sports-loving buddies Petra and Monica. Petra originally had the idea for a clothing range, but after meeting Monica she realized the full potential. After meeting so many women who didn’t have the courage to travel alone, they wanted to provide an opportunity to do so while making new friends and learning new adventure sports. Living in Feurteventura for years they also realized the sports potential of the stunning island.

Petra and Monica say, “the best thing about their job now is being able to meet people from different backgrounds and learning from everyone they meet.” They love seeing how much fun people have participating and how much their self-confidence grows within the week.

They enjoy getting people with out sporting backgrounds to try new things and discover the possibilities within themselves, such as a great sport like rock-climbing or even helping people, who are scared to swim, get into the water through kite-surfing.

Petra and Monica encourage everybody to get involved in their camps – there is no age limit! “As long as you are in a reasonably good physical condition and are willing to try new things, you’re welcome!”
