What Makes Aloha Beach Camp Different From Other Beach Camps?

2/27/2020

0 Comments

 
A number of things! And we think the best way to explain them is through several different blog posts over the next few weeks.
 We'll describe all the differences so you can make a comparison for yourself regarding our program versus others. But one of the ways we're really different -- something we wanted to share with you now -- is that we run Aloha Beach Camp like an actual camp, not just a day at the beach.

Activities are structured, instructional and presented at every child's most comfortable and effective pace. We don't just let campers wander freely from activity to activity with no clear purpose until they find something else to do.  They could do that anywhere, even if you just took them to the beach yourself. You don't need to send them to camp for that kind of thing.

You're paying a lot of money for your kids to have a amazing camp experience. so  we have a preplanned schedule of daily activities for campers to enjoy each day they camp to camp. This way they'll get the most out of camp experience and beach camp program.

Our philosophy is this:   Our counselors will always ENCOURAGE kids to try new activities and enjoy camp to the fullest.  But we will never push or force a camper to do anything they're uncomfortable with. It's up to your child as to when and if they want to participate in the beach camp activities. But we will do our best to get them to try!

Is Summer Camp at the Beach Camp Safe for Kids?

2/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Camp safety is a top concern among parents when choosing a camp for their kids. And that's just how it should be! 

We're parents ourselves, and  even though our kids are past  the age  of going to  camp, we did  send   them to camp every summer as they were growing up and always make sure whichever camp they attended had strict and airtight safety measures in place. We  know you expect  the same  and here at Aloha Beach Camp, we are committed to delivering it.

"Aloha Beach Camp has operated at Zuma Beach for the past 20 years. They have an outstanding reputation and stellar performance."
-Captain Remy Smith, Los Angeles County Fire Department , Ocean Lifeguard Division
We have been running Aloha Beach Camp since 1999 (that's 21 years!) and have a 100% safety record during that time. When we say "100% safety record," we mean nothing more than a minor scrape or bruise a kid would get anywhere.

For example, one time a girl scraped her knee on the sand and there have been occasional bee stings here and there over the years. That's about it, though.
We realize when choosing a summer camp, you need to consider where the camp takes place as much as anything else.  Sometimes the camp's location contributes to the level of risk involved. To this extent, parents often think summer camp at the beach might be less safe than more traditional camps.  You'll be glad to know that most of the risks you can think of are generally more perceived than actual. With the proper safety measures in place, beach camp can be just a safe as any other program.

Many L.A. locals listen to 104.3 MyFm's Valentine in the Morning radio show  on their way to work. Hosted by Sean Valentine, this popular morning show is funny, entertaining and an all-around great way to pass the time on your way to work. It's a family show, too, so if  you're listening on the radio when driving our kids to school you don't have to worry  they'll hear something inappropriate.    Listen to how Sean Valentine describes Aloha Beach Camp

Even though Aloha Beach Camp's one of the most sought-after summer day camps for kids in L.A., did you know we also have  an overnight summer camp  in Hawaii, too?

It's pretty cool! Kids from all over the world join every year for this program to enjoy surfing, hiking, zip lining, ocean kayaking, swimming with sea turtles, archery, site-seeing and many other amazing summer camp activities in Hawaii.

The cool thing about this is that's just like a traditional summer camp experience you already know, except it takes place in Hawaii!

Located on the beautiful north shore of Oahu at Camp Mokuleia, Our Hawaii camp only runs 1 week from August 3 to August 8 this summer. You can get a discount when signing up before March 1. Hope to see you at camp!

If you have a child between 8 and 11 and want to nail down a summer day camp experience they'll look forward to every day, Aloha Beach Camp's Kahuna Camp program is where it's at.

Imagine a Los Angeles based day camp your son or daughter looks forward to every day rather than complain when it's time to go to camp. That's what Kahuna Camp promises -- a camp experience unlike any other where your child will come home from camp each day sandy, tired and happy and looking forward to all the fun days ahead.

Surfing instruction, boogie boarding lessons, jet skiing excursions and so much more await your child here.

Not only that, you can sign up for our Kahuna Camp program day-by-day according to a convenient summer schedule that works best for your busy family, not one that works best for us. Pick and choose your own camp schedule while sending your child to camp day-by-day whenever you want.

Every day at Kahuna Camp is loaded with over 200 safe and fun aquatic beach camp activities. And please don't worry if your camper hasn't done this kind of thing before. Everyone has to start somewhere, and our experienced camp counselors are trained to make sure your child enjoys our program at a pace most comfortable for them. Even non-swimmers are welcome at Aloha Beach Camp because the entire program's instructional and designed to be enjoyable for kids of every aquatic background.

Free transportation is available for your child, too! We have convenient pick up and drop off points all across greater Los Angeles and the Valley. When you sign up for camp, simply choose the bus stop meeting point nearest you on the appropriate spot on your child's camp registration form.

Don't miss Aloha Beach Camp's Kahuna Camp day camp program this summer. It's an epic camp experience for kids 8 to 11!

How  Deep Do the Campers Go in the Water?

2/15/2020

Keeping kids safe, comfortable and having fun in the ocean is a staple of Aloha Beach Camp's program. We have 100% safety record and intend to keep it that way.  One of the primary elements of our beach camp safety program is limiting how deep we allow kids to swim in the water.  No child is permitted to go deeper than their waist with their feet firmly touching the ocean floor. As you can see from the  photo above, kids can walk out plenty far from the sand and still remain at waist-depth in the ocean.  This is one on the top reasons we've chosen Zuma Beach to run our program. Campers can go out pretty far in the water but the ocean doesn't get too deep.

If your child loves the beach and has always wanted to learn to surf, Aloha Beach Camp's L.A. surf camp is just the ticket for them this summer. No matter if your child is an experienced surfer, just starting out, or has never surfed before, our surf camp program is for you. Campers learn to surf on the sand in a group lesson. Then, whenever they feel ready, enter the ocean with their counselor for a personalized one-on-one surfing lesson in calm gentle waves and progress from there. Our staff will be by your child's side the entire time. Your camper will come home with a huge smile on their face, beaming with pride as they tell you how much fun they had surfing  and they even stood up on their surfboard the very first time they tried!  You can't beat surfing's heath benefits, either. It's a safe, fun and healthy physical outdoor activity for kids. Try Aloha Beach Camp this summer!

2/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Last summer (2019) we introduced a new activity at Aloha Beach Camp which become an instant hit with the campers: Stand-up Paddleboarding.

So many kids asked for more of this activity that we've decided to triple up on the fun this year.

Last summer we only offered on stand-up paddleboarding day. This summer (2020) campers can enjoy three separate stand-up paddleboarding days at camp!

Stand-up Paddleboarding takes place at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. It's easy and takes place in calm water with no waves. Our counselors are in the water too, on kayaks, provide assistance to any camper who needs it. You can even do this activity on your knees!
By now you might be wondering how your child will get to Oxnard so they can participate. Aloha Beach Camp provides free transportation for every child, so don't worry, you don't have drive your son or daughter all the way to camp yourself! Thursday, July 30 is now on the schedule for the stand-up paddleboard activity. We haven't identified the other two days, but we promise we'll have them soon.

Meanwhile, you can sign up here for the July 30 stand-up paddleboarding day if you don't want to wait!
