Meet the Aloha Beach Camp Owners, Directors, Camp Counselors and Staff

Meet the Aloha Beach Camp Staff for summer 2022

Summer camps are only as good as their staffs. If the counselors don't make the program safe and fun for the kids, what's the point? We're fortunate to have a strong, experienced management team and core group of camp counselors who return to Aloha each summer, and whose top priority is ensuring your camper's safety and fun every day.

Summer camp owners ... The Naftulin family

Eric and Teri Naftulin founded Aloha Beach Camp in 1999. The husband and wife team has over 60 years of combined experience operating summer camps in Los Angeles. Eric manages the camp's business affairs and is on-site with the kids every day. Teri runs the camp office and is active in the American Camp Association's (ACA)  accreditation process where she observes other camps to ensure their compliance with industry standards.

Eric and Teri don't run Aloha Beach Camp alone! They have three children who actively participate in the day-to-day operation of the camp to ensure sure your child has the best summer camp experience EVER!

Twin brothers Josh and Noah, 21, are  seniors at  UC Santa Barbara.  Daughter Sarah, 25, is a San Diego State graduate with a degree in child development. Sarah is one of our Keiki Camp program directors, and Josh and Noah are two of Keiki Camp's high-energy, enthusiastic camp counselors every camper loves! (OK, maybe we're biased...but it's true! :)

Camp Counselors Featured in the L.A. Times

The Los Angeles Times said we "set the bar high" when hiring staff...and you will, too! Our counselors are chosen for their ability to work with kids in a leadership capacity plus serve as positive role models. Each camp counselor applicant must pass a rigorous multi-phase interview process including a criminal background check. Our counselors are typically 19 years old (at a minimum), trained lifeguards and CPR and First Aid certified.

Camper-to-staff ratios at Aloha Beach Camp are typically 5-to-1 or less.
