What our students think

"I had a great experience during the inFlipFlops camps! I learned a great deal in one week which would have otherwise costed me months. It's a no-brainer to get up-to-speed with a new technology or to get closer to mastery as the trainers are real experts."

Chris de Rouck

CTO and Full-stack Developer, Idronect

"To say that I enjoyed the week, would be an understatement. It will go down in history. To be able to join with 19 other code lovers from around the world to learn & improve our skills, is a lifetime event. "

What you should know

What will a typical day look like?

We'll meet at 8:45am to grab a cup of coffee and the class starts at 9:00am. We'll cover 2 topics before lunch and then cover another one or two in the evenining depending if it's a day with a longer break or not. Each topic will consists of the lecture and a following coding lab, when you will put into practice what you've learned. Instructors will assist you if you get stuck and will help you to move forward with the project.

What's included in the price?

By booking the camp you get:

  • 6 days of classes
  • co-working space access from 9am till 9pm
  • hiking trip to the heart of the island + the visit to the sandy dunes — Sunday before the camp start
  • 3 surfing classes (subject to weather conditions)
  • 1 yoga class (optional)

Important: If you want to take part in any sport activities, such as surfing, you need to have approperiate insurance that covers such sport activity

When should I arrive?

Although the bootcamp starts on Monday, you may arrive already on Saturday if you want to join the hiking trip to the heart of the island and visit the Maspalomas' sand dunes. It's completely voluntary but the stunning interior of the island is a must-see. Check the video from our last trip.

Is accommodation included?

We don't offer accommodation. Everybody has different expectations when it comes to sleeping arrangements. You can find a lot hotels, hostels and airbnbs on the Las Canteras beach front or a few hundred meters away from it. After booking the course, you will get invited to our Slack channel, where you can find a room-mate if you prefer to share an appartment.

Do you have any hotels recommendation?

Las Palmas has a lot of hotels and airbnb apartments to offer. When choosing your accomodation, bear in mind that you will be going back and forth between your place and Soppa de Azul, our co-working space, quite often during the day. That’s why it’s best to stay within a 10-minute walking distance from Soppa.

To put things in context, when you look at the map, on the left hand side you will see a 4 km long Las Canteras beach. It takes around 35-40 minutes to walk from one end to another.

Here are a few nearby hotels recommended by our past participants:

  • NH Las Palmas Playa las Canteras

  • Hotel Aloe Canteras

  • NH Imperial Playa

  • Sercotel Hotel Cristina Las Palmas

  • Hotel Boutique Bedandchic

Do I need a visa?

Gran Canaria is a part of Spain and travellers from the EU, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or Liechtenstein do not need a visa to visit, but do require a valid ID card or passport for travel purposes. A Schengen Visa is required for various other countries.
