Keiki Camp for Boys and Girls Ages 4 to 6
The first beach day camp just for younger kids, Aloha Beach Camp's Keiki Camp is designed to meet the unique needs of younger children, many of whom are experiencing the beach and ocean environment for the first time. The goal of the Keiki program is to help younger campers feel safe and comfortable in the ocean.
Aloha Beach Camp's Keiki Camp program takes place at Paradise Cove on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays and Zuma Beach on Wednesdays when the Keiki kids go surfing.
|
At Keiki Camp, boys and girls ages ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 enjoy surfing lessons, boogie boarding instruction, group sand games and many more aquatic and Hawaii-themed beach activities.
Keiki Camp takes place at Zuma Beach and Paradise Cove in Malibu on a rotating basis. Free transportation is provided at a meeting point near your home or office so you don't need to drive your child to camp yourself.

Kahuna Camp for Kids and "Tweens" Ages 7 to 10
Kahuna Camp is for kids and "tweens" who are too old for Keiki Camp, but not quite ready for our Nalu Ocean Adventure program (see below). Kahuna Camp takes place at Zuma Beach, Channel Islands Harbor, and other beach sites on a rotating basis.
|
As with all of our programs, you can pick and choose any days of camp you want. Whatever schedule that works for your family is the schedule that works best for us.
Surfing, kayaking, boogie boarding and paddle-boarding are just some of the Kahuna Camp activities offered. Daily transportation is available from your area. Even if you've never done these kinds of activities before, don't worry! Many, if not most of the other kids at camp are new to this stuff, too. We'll teach you how to do it every step of the way! :) |
Learning to surf and boogie board at Zuma Beach are Aloha Beach Camp staples! You'll be standing up on your surfboard and riding the waves all the way to the shore in no time. You will probably even stand up on your surfboard the very first time you try! :)
|
Nalu Ocean Adventures Camp for Kids and Teenagers Ages 11 to 13
Designed exclusively for older kids ages 12 to 13, our Nalu Camp takes place at different beaches, harbors and other aquatic venues weekly. Camp locations include Zuma Beach, Channel Islands Harbor, Oxnard Beach Park and more.
|
The Nalu Camp activities are the same you'll find at Kahuna Camp, but presented at a somewhat faster pace making this program the thrill of a lifetime for older campers!
Most of the kids who attend our Nalu Camp tell us they've grown tired of other local summer camps where the kids are too young and the activities are too boring, so they switched to Aloha Beach Camp for a more exciting camp experience and to meet and hang out with lots of other kids their age. As with all our programs, we understand campers may have limited experience participating in the kinds of aquatic activities we offer. That's absolutely fine, and part of the fun! You don't need ANY experience whatsoever to enjoy everything Aloha has to offer. Our counselors will show you how to do all the activities at whatever pace that's comfortable for you. |
Nalu and Kahuna campers frequently visit Channel Islands Harbor for boating, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and other related water activities all summer.

What Does a Typical Camp Day Look Like?
Curious how a typical camp day works? How about the whole summer? Aloha Beach Camp combines a structured, well-supervised environment with the freedom for campers to pick, choose, and participate in the activities that appeal to them the most and for parents to send their kids to camp according to any day or combination of days that fit your family's busy schedule. With no long-term enrollment commitments nor advance sessions to conform to, you can choose your own starting date, ending date, and any days you want in between.

Some examples of these special activities include:

From time-to-time we have special days and events at

Free Transportation
Kids from all over Los Angeles and the local valleys (and even further) attend Aloha Beach Camp each year. Using our free transportation service makes getting to and from camp safe, easy, and fun.
|
When you sign up for camp, you're automatically entered into our transportation system for free pick-up and drop-off all summer.
You can even choose the meeting point you that's most convenient for you. Camp counselors ride the bus with the kids and keep them supervised, entertained, playing games and singing songs. Leave the driving to us! |
