With Gran Canaria 2025 coming up fast, we wanted to make sure you were all ready for an incredible trip to paradise! So... we’ve made a list of top 10 things to do before heading out, so you're fully prepared and can make the most of your experience!
1. Book your flights & transfer ASAP
If you haven’t already, this is a top priority! Avoid paying more by booking your flights early—those savings can go toward delicious local cuisine and extra beach fun.
Fly into Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), and make sure to book a transfer to Anfi Del Mar!
2. Download our Info Pack
All the detailed info you might want or need about Gran Canaria Camp can be found in our Info Pack, which you should have received via email!
3. Get packing - here's a lil packing list to get you started
Now we won’t tell you what to pack, but that’s actually exactly what we’re going to do, for those of you that have never played beach volleyball before or aren't sure what to pack:
Volleyball kit - you’ll most likely spend most of the day in your volleyball gear or swim wear that you can play beach in
Day clothes - we will be heading out for camp dinners and drinks on some of the nights, so might be best to bring some summery clothes to eat out with
Bathing suits - for the perfect post session dip into the ocean or to chill by the hotel pool
Appropriate footwear - one pair of flip-flops/crocs/birks and one pair of sneakers will do you perfect
Sweater + jacket - although we are expecting glorious weather, it may get a big chilly in the evenings
Other staples and basics that you need like toiletries, chargers, passport etc
4. Secure some Travel Insurance
Although you hopefully won't need it, we recommend looking to get some travel insurance just in case. They can be quite cheap and will give you peace of mind!

6. Join your week's whatsapp group
Make sure you've joined the whatsapp group for your week - the link should be sent to you via email. This is where we will announce vital updates and announcements on the camp!
7. Sign up for some pre-camp training
If you’re keen to get some pre-camp training in so you can show off your skills when you rock up in Gran Canaria, we have tons of training sessions and tournaments between now and then for you to get your practice in, all based in Crystal Palace, London.
Have a look at our website whether you want to join Training, or Tournaments.

9. Plan your key training focus areas
We have some incredible world-class coaches joining us and running the sessions, and a way you can get the most out of the trainings is by having a think of key areas of improvement for you or things you would like support on from the coaches. It will be an intense week of training and learning a lot so these key training focus areas can accelerate your progress in just a week!
1o. Get some rest and prepare yourself for an INCREDIBLE week in Gran Canaria!
This is going to be an epic week out in Gran Canaria with all your teammates, old friends and new, so make sure you prepare yourself and get the most out of the experience. But make sure not to burn yourself out - take the time to get rest while you're out there, get your sleep, drink enough water and wear suncream (we've seen too many rough burns in previous years).
That's it for our To Do list! We hope this helps you get prepared for Gran Canaria Camp a bit better, and we can't wait to see you out there!
Much love,
The Deep Dish Gang
