5. We establish our daily campsite area with bright orange cones directly adjacent to a
staffed lifeguard tower
Campers may not leave this coned-off boundary without a counselor. The cones also send a "KEEP OUT"
message to strangers. If the lifeguard tower is not staffed by a public lifeguard, campers are not permitted in
the water.
6. We maintain low camper-to-counselor ratios at all times
You'll find camper-to-staff ratios as low as 3:1 (and often less) when kids are in the water.
7. We also enforce these additional mandatory safety rules:
Every camper takes a swimming evaluation their first day of camp. Based on this evaluation, campers wear
color-coded wristbands designating how deep they can go in the water. No one may go deeper than their
waist.

- Everyone wears an Aloha Beach Camp t-shirt or rash guard everyday to indicate they are members of
our specific camp group. - Nobody may enter the water without someone from our staff.
- Nobody may visit the restroom without staff supervision.
- We maintain an open door policy regarding visitation; parents are invited to camp, unannounced, to
supervise our safety program any time
| Whenever campers are in the water, Aloha Beach Camp counselors are with them side-by-side. |
| Aloha Beach Camp takes place at various locations. But no matter where camp sets up any given day, it will always happen in front of an open (staffed) lifeguard tower for maximum safety. Not only that, all Aloha Beach Camp counselors are lifeguards, too! :) |
Summer Camp Safety
The ocean can be safe, fun and a great source of recreation. But it demands respect, too. We
have a 100% safety record and intend to keep it that way, so rest assured we go overboard to
protect your child's safety. Here's how.
1. Aloha Beach Camp is 100% accredited by the American Camp Association
This means we meet or exceed up to 300 best-practice industry standards relative to camp
programming, transportation, safety, supervision and more. If the camp you're considering is
not accredited, ask the camp director why.
2. We require our counselors to be certified lifeguards
This is a fundamental condition of employment.
3. We teach sun and ocean safety clinics to every camper, every day
Your camper will learn about rip currents, dangerous shore break, high surf, the risks of diving into shallow
water and other potentially hazardous beach and ocean conditions. Sunscreen is applied liberally throughout
the day, plus we provide large umbrellas, tents and canopies for maximum shade and comfort.
4. Ice water is available all day, every day
Dehydration can be a problem if you don't stay on top of it. That's why we make ice water available for the
kids all day and remind them to drink it...even if they're not thirsty!
