Expanded Transportation Service for Los Angeles Families

In 2016, we began offering transportation to and from our four beach camps so that families with kids outside the immediate area could start enjoying beach camp too.

Here are some of the great benefits of letting us do the driving:

  • We offer bus stops in Westwood, Cheviot Hills, and Mar Vista.
  • We contract with a professional bus company to ensure safe, reliable transport of our campers to and from camp.
  • We offer both round-trip and one-way only options.
  • Short bus rides with few stops. Your child won’t be spending precious time getting to and from camp.

When you sign up, just click the option showing the closest stop on the registration page.

Beach Camp Signup, À La Carte Style

We were the first LA-area camp to offer week-by-week signup. That means that we cater to your scheduling needs. Choose 1 week here, another week there—whatever works for you. Hit a snag and realize there’s an issue? No problem. You can switch to another week.

We want your camp experience to be a great one for both you and your child. And that means not just providing a safe, fun, enriching camp experience; it means taking the stress out of camp signup too!

Early Bird Signup – Save 10%

We want as many kids as we can to have as much fun as we do every day. That’s why we offer an Early Bird discount rate as low as $432 per week. This price includes all camp activities, supervision, instruction, and program equipment provided by the camp.

Open House – Try Us Out for Free

We plan all year to make sure to offer the best beach day camp anywhere. So, this time of year, as people start making their plans for the summer, we REALLY want to show our stuff! Come out to our next Open House at our beautiful beach location at the Pacific Palisades and try us out.

We’ll have plenty of games, refreshments, prizes, and entertainment on hand—and it’s totally free! Best of all, we will have demos of all our amazing activities, so your child (and you!) can join in and see what we’re all about.

2 Camps to Choose from in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades

We understand that kids have different needs, depending on their age, interests, personalities, and skill levels. That’s why we offer two different camps both conveniently located for Los Angeles families:

  • Our Santa Monica camp for children, ages 4-14, is located North of the Pier, at 810 Pacific Coast Highway, Parking Lot #8 North. A perfect choice for Los Angeles families, this camp locations is big enough to offer a huge variety of activities but still small enough for those campers who prefer a more nurturing environment.
  • Our Pacific Palisades for children, ages 4-14, is located at Will Rogers State Beach, Tower 14. This camp offers the widest variety of activities on any given day. Many of our returning campers love this location.
  • If your child is 4-years-old, our Clownfish program, offered at both our Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades camps, are led by dedicated professionals who focus on the needs of our youngest campers providing a lower 6:1 camper to staff ratio. Our Clownfish programs offer a smaller, nurturing environment specifically tailored to pre-school age children.

If after attending a camp, you want to switch to a different one, we can do that too! We want to make sure each camper has a customized experience.

Best Counselors in the Business

At Fitness  by the Sea, we know we are only as good as our counselors. That’s why we hire only the best of the best. Here are some of our hiring practices to make sure your child has the best camp experience possible:

  • We are super-choosy and select counselors for their enthusiasm, dependability, creativity, dedication, and the passion to shape kids’ lives.
  • Our counselors know how to get down on a kid’s level, both literally and figuratively, to engage with them one on one.
  • We select mature counselors who understand the impact they have on every child’s life and they take their role as mentors and examples seriously.

We understand how stressful signing up for camp can be. That’s why we like to keep things flexible by offering day-by-day signup and great add-ons. like healthy lunch choices, and extended care hours (3:30pm-5:30pm) that you can add as needed.
