Sporty Girl Summer Camp
Adulthood is a trap. Come outside and play.
Life can feel like it’s stuck in serious mode. Back-to-back meetings, climbing the career ladder, looking after everyone else. Even when it’s time to rest, the pressure to do it “productively” takes away the entire point.
Set in the wild beauty of Arrábida Natural Park, Sporty Girl Summer Camp is five days built around movement, adventure and play for active, ambitious women.
From high-energy play (Surfing, Coasteering, Dirt Biking) to nostalgic camp rituals (Bonfires, Beach Olympics, Stargazing), this is not a typical wellbeing retreat. You’ll end each day with the kind of exhaustion that finally quiets a busy mind and leaves you feeling electric, inspired, and deeply alive.
This is the sleepaway camp you dreamed of as a kid, reimagined for the woman you’ve become.
The Vibe.
Discover a New You through Adventure, Not Ambition
There's a version of you that only shows up when you're mid-air off a cliff or watching the sun set from the back of a horse. She doesn't show up at your desk. Get ready to meet her.
You Don't Have to Choose between Soft and Sporty
Cold plunge in the morning. Wine at sunset. Surf before lunch, tile painting after. High adrenaline and slow golden evenings. Both. Every day.
The Best Girls Trip You Never Had to Plan
No group chat. No seventeen tabs. Everything handled — activities, chef, schedule. Your only job is to pack your bag and turn up looking good.

Roll out of bed and into the National Park. Hike, run or walk as the sun comes up. Breakfast, then your choice of Surfing or Tennis. An Ice Bath & Sauna sesh to reset, then Lunch at your own pace before the afternoon opens up — Cliff Jumping, Horse Riding, Dirt Biking, or if you’re feeling it, something slower: Painting, Drawing, Creating. Watch the sun go down by the pool. Dinner together, then a Sound bath under the stars. Wake up and do it all again.

THE VENUE
Quinta do Amor,
Arrábida
Quinta do Amor — or "Farm of Love" — is your camp for the week. A sprawling 20 hectare Mediterranean sanctuary hidden inside Arrábida Natural Park. (Bigger than Green Park in London!)
The Quinta is the main house — a charming Portuguese home combining tradition with modern comfort. The Recovery Oasis has a pool, sauna and cold plunge. The Sunset Barn has a second pool with perfect sunset views. The Playground has a private tennis court and beach volley sandpit.
10 minutes from Arrábida's award-winning beaches — white sands, the calmest clearest water in Portugal.

FAQ
Absolutely! Most babes come alone to our trips. Step out of your comfort zone and join us.
Everything we’ve gone through is included- the only other thing is if there is any damage caused by you to your room or the Quinta, or losing any towels/bedding etc, you will be liable to pay these extra charges before checking out of the camp. So make sure to look after your space!
Nope! Summer Camp is for all women.
Most people probably haven’t done these things before, so don’t worry! Activities will be tailored to the level you’re at.
Okay slay. We’ll tailor activities to your skill level as much as we can- dm us on our IG if you’re unsure.
The schedule is planned but flexible. Each day has a set structure — sunrise session, morning activity, afternoon adventure, evening experience — but the specific activities within each slot can shift depending on the group.
If only 1-2 people sign up for a group activity, we’ll swap it out for something better. The bones of the schedule won’t change. The details bend around you.
Yes absolutely!
Please select the relevant room subscription when paying, this will allow you to pay in installments.
Unfortunately we won’t be accepting refund requests, however if you can’t make it you are welcome to sell your ticket/ find a replacement, but it must be approved by us before making the transfer.
In cases where a replacement is found, there is a £250 admin fee to cover transaction, processing and operation costs.
This is play, not a bootcamp. Whether you’re newer to sports or an athlete, you should have a basic level of fitness to enjoy the activities,but more importantly your idea of fun is moving your body and being active!
Every activity is optional. You’re welcome to just enjoy the facilities and use things like paint supplies that we’ll provide <3
Absolutely—do your own thing anytime. All activities are included but optional. You have free reign of the grounds including the 2 pools, sauna, cold plunge and national park! You can also catch a taxi to the beach anytime you want a solo day.
Please reach out to info@babesonwaves.club and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
Girl it’s 5 days! Yes there’s wifi but try and switch off from work if you can.
