Transportation From Cheviot Hills & Mar Vista
We provide round-trip, air-conditioned, seat-belted bus transportation from Cheviot Hills and Mar Vista. With certified drivers and caring, energetic bus counselors on board, the fun starts the moment campers step onto the bus and continues all day long — where safety and excitement go hand in hand.
Safety Guide for First-Time Campers
We take safety very seriously, which is why FBS has been proudly recognized as the safest beach camp in Los Angeles for over 25 years. Our professional instructors ensure that even children with NO OCEAN EXPERIENCE learn to navigate the water safely while developing a healthy respect for the ocean. From water safety to sun protection, your child’s well-being is always our top priority.
The Power of Choice
At whatever age campers join us, they instantly become part of our extended family, and we become part of theirs. We meet our campers right where they are; with purposeful activities to fit their needs and desires.
BEHIND THE MAGIC
Each morning before sunrise, the FBS team transforms the beach into a world of endless possibilities. Surf boards and boogie boards line the sand, soccer & baseball fields, vibrant puppet theaters, art studios, and even a gymnastics arena set the stage for campers to unleash their imaginations in exciting and boundless ways. From team sports to arts & crafts to magic shows in the shade, our state-of-the-art equipment ensures there’s always something extraordinary for everyone to explore.
