If you get in earlier we ask that you wait until the pick-up time. For identification purposes, we will be wearing Sinaloa Surf Adventures hats.

Where is the camp? Do I need to arrange transport?

What is the refund policy and reservation policy?

SSA has only a limited number of vacancies. These are in high demand and therefore there is a nonrefundable $280.00 deposit to secure your spot. Your reservation is not held until we receive this payment. The remaining balance of your trip MUST be paid 60 days prior to your arrival. We reserve the right to reopen your spot if your balance is not paid by this date. Do not book your airfare until you have received a "payment of deposit" confirmation from us. There are no refunds on the deposit unless we are able to fill your spot.

Do I need a passport for Mexico?

You do need a passport for Mexico. If traveling with a person under the age of 18, that person needs a permission slip from both parents. If you do not have a passport and need expedited service visit http://www.uspassportbureau.com/. Otherwise you can get an application at your local post office.
