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
by employing these safety measures at all times:
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 relating to camp programming, transportation, safety
and more. If the camp you're considering isn't accredited, you owe it to
yourself (and your child) to find out why.
2. We require our counselors to be certified lifeguards. This is a
fundamental condition of employment.
3. We teach daily sun and ocean safety clinics every day to every
camper. Your child 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 and canopies for
maximum shade and comfort.
4. We designate our daily campsite area with bright orange cones
directly adjacent to the open
lifeguard tower. Campers may not
leave this coned-off boundary
without a counselor. The cones also
send a "KEEP OUT" message to
strangers.
5. We maintain camper-to-counselor ratios as low as 3:1 (and often
less when kids are in the water).
We also enforce these additional mandatory safety rules:
We also invite you to download a free copy of our Top 10 Beach Safety Tips
so your whole family stays safe at the beach this summer.
We hope see you enjoy our Web site and we see you at camp this summer.

We also enforce these additional mandatory safety rules:
- Every camper is given a swim
- evaluation on their first day of
camp and, based on that
evaluation, wears a color-
coded wristband designating
how deep they can go in the
water. No one is allowed
deeper than waist level.
- Everyone wears a camp t-shirt or rash guard everyday.
- Nobody may enter the water without someone from our staff.
- Nobody may visit the restroom without staff supervision.
- Parents are invited to camp to supervise our safety program.
