Looking for a West Hills summer camp? Located in the western San Fernando Valley, West Hills is a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood of Los Angeles with high household incomes. Residents enjoy nearby open spaces, including the 5,600-acre Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve on the edge of West Hills, which features miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails through rolling hills and oak woodlands. Another local gem is Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center, a historic 1917 estate now serving as a city park with lush gardens, fruit orchards, creeks and nature trails.
West Hills combines suburban comfort with easy access to the coast, so many parents here look for a great West Hills summer camp near the beach. Fitness by the Sea delivers exactly that: for over 26 years we’ve been offering a premier beach day camp experience for kids ages 4½–14.
Despite being in the suburbs, West Hills families often seek active outdoor fun on the Pacific coast. Fitness by the Sea is the premier Los Angeles day camp provider, and our programs are available to West Hills kids. We run high-energy beach day camps in Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades, offering safe, supervised adventures on the sand and in the waves. Thousands of children have made FBS their West Hills beach camp of choice – over 39,000 campers in the last 26 years. Parents from West Hills appreciate that Fitness by the Sea combines a fun seaside atmosphere with flexible scheduling and a 100% safety record.

West Hills families need flexibility, and FBS provides it. Camp is available on a week-by-week basis: you can enroll in any combination of weeks (1–11) that fits your summer schedule. We don’t lock you into consecutive weeks – you pick the weeks, and you can even change your schedule later at no extra charge.

100% Safety Record at Our West Hills Beach Camp with Experienced Counselors
At Fitness by the Sea, safety is our top priority. We have maintained a 100% accident-free safety record for more than 26 years. Camp uses a 6:1 camper-to-counselor ratio and all activities are supervised by trained staff. Counselors are not only fun and energetic, they’re also mature and well-trained – the average FBS counselor is 23 years old. We enforce all safety rules (lifeguards are on duty for any water play) and provide sun-protective gear at camp. West Hills parents can trust that their child will be in caring, qualified hands all day long.
Over 40 Fun Beachside Activities at West Hills Day Camp
Fitness by the Sea offers one of the most varied activity programs of any West Hills kids camp. Each day, campers vote on a lineup of more than 40 different activities. Options include Team Sports (soccer, flag football, etc.), Individual Sports, creative Arts & Crafts, shoreline games (beach volleyball, tide pooling, etc.), water activities (swimming, paddleboarding), and even themed special events. There’s truly something for every child’s interest. As FBS puts it, kids can “play a game of football, take a swim in the ocean, and then relax in the shade getting their face painted” all in one day. With so many choices, every week at camp feels new and exciting.
Convenient Beach Camp Location and Transportation for West Hills Families
Fitness by the Sea’s Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades camps are easily accessible for West Hills families. Driving from West Hills to Santa Monica is about 21 miles (roughly a 30-minute drive). You can also avoid the commute: our optional air-conditioned buses pick up campers on Westside routes and deliver them to camp safely. For example, our bus stops at 4030 S Centinela (Mar Vista) and at Cheviot Hills Recreation Center.
Both camp locations are on the sand – your child enjoys beach activities every day. Fitness by the Sea serves the entire Los Angeles area, so whether you’re in West Hills, the Valley, or the Westside, we have a spot for your child.
