Nalu Camp (Ages 11–13)
Nalu Camp is Aloha Beach Camp’s high-energy ocean adventure program for older kids and teens. “Nalu” means waves — and this program is built for campers who want more action, more independence, and more ocean time than a typical day camp.

Kayaking + paddleboarding
Beaches + harbors

What Makes Nalu Camp Different?
Nalu is designed for older campers who have outgrown the “little kid” camp vibe and want a more adventurous summer. Campers get a mix of ocean skill-building, beach challenges, and action-packed water days — while still staying safe, supervised, and supported by our experienced staff.
Expect things like:
- Surfing & boogie boarding
- Ocean kayaking & stand-up paddleboarding
- Beach volleyball, team games, and competitions
- Beach hikes and ocean safety skill-building
- Plenty of chill time with friends — without forcing activities
Surfing is a favorite at Nalu Camp — surf all day, every day!
