Surf. Code. Connect. Welcome to Porto.

TYPO3 Surfcamp brings together young people who share a passion for building the web. Whether you’re into development, frontend, design, UX, or project management, this is a place to learn, collaborate, and grow together.

Over the course of the camp, you’ll work on real TYPO3 projects, learn from experienced mentors, challenge yourself, and connect with people who share your curiosity and enthusiasm.

It doesn’t matter if you’re already familiar with TYPO3 or just starting your journey. What matters most is your motivation, your willingness to learn, and your passion for open source and the open web.

What Participants Say

I am proud to have contributed to the TYPO3 project in such a unique setting and grateful for the chance to meet so many inspiring people from the community.

The balance provided by shared activities—especially surfing—was not just a form of relaxation, but part of an overall sense of fulfillment: hard work, real achievements, and shared experiences.

A real highlight was the Coding Night. We learned how we can contribute to the TYPO3 core ourselves. From setup and issue tracking to submitting a patch – it was incredibly exciting!
