Program and Activity Questions
What is Aloha Beach Camp?
Aloha Beach Camp is an aquatic-themed summer day camp for kids and teens. We offer three age-appropriate
programs under the Aloha Beach Camp name. "Keiki Camp" is exclusively for younger kids ages 3 through 7.
"Kahuna Camp" is for the middle-age set (8 to 11) who want to enjoy all the safe and fun activities High Action
Camp provides, but in a more age-appropriate environment designed just for them. "High Action Camp"is for older
campers 12 to 15 who've outgrown the typical day camp scene and looking for something more.
What's the difference between the Keiki, Kahuna and High Action Camps?
The Keiki, Kahuna, and High Action Camps serve different age groups and purposes, and they take place at
different locations. Keiki Camp is exclusively for young children ages 3 through 7. The goal of this program is to
help younger kids feel safe and comfortable at the beach and ocean. Kahuna Camp is for kids 8 to 11, and High
Action Camp is for older kids and teens ages 12 to 15. These programs appeal to kids who are looking for safe, fun
and exciting alternatives to the typical area day camps. The Kahuna and High Action Camps are mostly the same with respect to activities and locations, but the
pace of the Kahuna Camp is a bit slower for a more age-appropriate camp experience. All three programs offer safe, fun and instructional aquatic activities,
convenient day-by-day enrollment, free transportation to and from camp, top-notch staff and equipment, low camper-to-counselor ratios, 100% safety records,
American Camp Association Accreditation and a no-questions-asked, 100% money-back guarantee.
Where's the camp located?
Keiki Camp takes place at Paradise Cove in Malibu. Paradise Cove is a safe and private beach with gentle surf and clean water which is perfect for younger kids.
The High Action and Kahuna Camps take place at Zuma Beach in Malibu, Castaic Lake and Hurricane Harbor (among others aquatic venues) on a rotating basis.
What kinds of activities do you offer?
Aloha Beach Camp provides aquatic-themed camp activities for kids and teens. Activities are age-appropriate and instructional. View the High Action daily activity
schedule, the Kahuna Camp daily activity schedule or the Keiki Camp daily activity schedule for day-by-day accounts of the planned activities.
Does my child need previous experience to participate?
Absolutely not! Aloha Beach Camp's activities are instructional and presented at your child's most effective pace. Some of our campers are experiencing the beach
and ocean environment for the first time, while other kids are more experienced. Our programs are structured to accommodate campers from every aquatic
background so your child will be safe and have fun no matter what!
Is it safe?
This is an important question we're asked often. We are VERY sensitive to your safety concerns and impose strict
safety measures to keep your child safe. Our equipment is top-of-the-line, staff thoroughly trained, and we
impose strict safety rules that virtually eliminate risk where it can be eliminated. You'll be pleased to know that any
risks you can think of are probably more perceived than actual. One thing we hope you won’t do is deny your child a
fantastic beach camp experience because you misconceive it to be less safe than traditional camps. Truth is, there’s
not another camp anywhere where your child will be safer than they will with us ... and our 11-year, 100% safety
record proves it. In fact, there's a saying we picked up from some old sailing buddies we use as our underlying
philosophy: “If it's not safe, we're not going to do it, and if it's not fun, we're not going to do it for very long.”
We welcome your calls and emails to discuss safety in further detail.
Enrollment and Tuition Questions
What is "day-by-day enrollment?"
Day-by-day enrollment gives you complete flexibility planning for camp. Take control of your own camp schedule by sending your child to camp on a flexible day-by-
day basis whenever you want, with no rigid prearranged camp sessions to conform to. There is a 5-day minimum enrollment commitment, but they can be any 5 or
more days you want, so you can truly customize your own camp schedule. You tell us when you're coming to camp, NOT the other way around!
What if we can't meet the 5-day minimum?
Campers who attend at least 5 days of camp will get the most from the Aloha experience. But if you can't sign up for at least 5 days, please let us know because
we still might be able to accommodate you.
How much does it cost? What’s included?
Tuition ranges between $75 and $107 per day. The lower rates may be available with Early Bird registration, extended enrollments, all-inclusive enrollment
packages and Season Passes. Your tuition includes daily transportation plus the program(s) and activities you enroll for. There is an additional $50 registration fee
per camper which includes one camp t-shirt, one rash guard and a goodie bag from Billabong, our sponsor. We also advise you to purchase the money-saving
Enrollment Protection Plan for only $50 more so you can avoid costly enrollment change fees. The Enrollment Protection Plan allows you to make FREE unlimited
changes to your child's schedule all summer, otherwise any changes you make will cost $35 each, so this plan pays for itself immediately. If you want to purchase
the Enrollment Protection Plan, please check the appropriate box on your enrollment form.
What’s the Enrollment Protection Plan?
For just $50, the Enrollment Protection Plan lets you make free unlimited changes to your child's schedule all summer. You can trade a day here for a day there,
switch one week for another, etc. If you don't pick the Enrollment Protection Plan, every change you make will cost $35. It's a bargain because it pays for itself
immediately. If you'd like to take advantage of this Plan, check the appropriate box on your child's enrollment form.
