Our beachside program offers a one-of-a-kind Windsor Hills summer camp adventure – combining the thrill of the ocean with the warmth of a community that values safety, fun, and personal growth.
Why Windsor Hills Families Choose Our Summer Camp
For over 26 years, Fitness by the Sea (FBS) has been a trusted name in LA camps, earning a reputation as the safest and most flexible beach camp in the area. It’s no wonder families from Windsor Hills and surrounding neighborhoods return every year. Here’s why parents in Windsor Hills love FBS:
- 100% Safety Record: FBS boasts a perfect safety record and is widely recognized as the “safest beach camp” in Los Angeles for 26 years running. Our camp was founded in 2000, and since then we’ve maintained a rigorous focus on camper well-being at all times.
- Experienced, Caring Staff: We understand the trust you place in us. That’s why the average age of our counselors is 23, with many being teachers or parents themselves. All staff are CPR and First Aid certified, and we maintain an excellent 6:1 camper-to-staff ratio, ensuring each child gets personal attention and supervision.
- Flexible Scheduling: We offer true week-by-week scheduling. You pick the weeks that fit your summer plans – whether it’s one week or all eleven. Plans changed? No problem. We even offer a full refund if you cancel by May 15, so you can plan your child’s summer with confidence.
- Unmatched Variety of Activities: With 40+ exciting activities, every day brings new adventures. Campers get to choose their favorites each day, fostering independence and keeping them engaged. From water sports to creative arts, there’s something for every interest and personality.
- Convenience for Parents: Optional transportation and extended care services make camp logistics easy for busy parents. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience, from quick online registration to smooth drop-offs and pickups, so you can focus on your day while your child focuses on fun.
Windsor Hills Beach Camp Fun – Just a Short Drive Away
Windsor Hills might be perched in the Baldwin Hills area with panoramic city views, but the Pacific Ocean is closer than you think. In fact, it’s only about 10–11 miles from Windsor Hills to Santa Monica’s beaches, so your child can go from hillside to seaside in roughly 20 minutes by car (traffic permitting).
We bridge this gap by bringing an authentic Windsor Hills beach camp experience right to the coast. Many Windsor Hills families spend weekends enjoying nearby parks like Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area or Rueben Ingold Park; with Fitness by the Sea, your kids can extend that love of the outdoors to include sunny days on the beach, ocean breezes, and marine adventures they can’t get at home.
Our camps take place on the beautiful beaches of Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades – both just a quick trip from Windsor Hills. These beachside locations give Windsor Hills kids the chance to play in the sand and surf under careful supervision. Whether they’re splashing in the gentle waves, building sandcastles on the shore, or playing team games on the sand, your child will enjoy a safe and fun coastal adventure every day at camp.
40+ Activities to Inspire & Excite Every Camper
At FBS, no two days are the same. We believe kids should have the freedom to explore their interests, which is why we let campers choose their own activities daily. With over 40 activities on the menu, your child will never be bored.
Do they love the water? Our water activities program includes swimming in the ocean (with trained instructors right by their side), boogie boarding, and even introductory surfing for the adventurous. Are they into sports? They can join team sports like beach soccer or volleyball, or try out individual sports like martial arts and gymnastics. Creative souls will thrive in our creative activities sessions – from arts and crafts to dance and music. And when a break from the sun is needed, kids can cool off with in the shade activities under our tents, enjoying board games, talent shows, or storytelling.
We also sprinkle in special events and theme days throughout the summer (think crazy hat day, superhero day, and more) to keep the excitement level high. This rich variety means every camper – from the super active to the quietly creative – finds something they love at FBS. It’s a key reason why so many families say FBS is the ultimate Windsor Hills day camp experience for their children.
Windsor Hills Summer Camp Safety: Peace of Mind for Parents
We know sending your child to a day camp, especially one by the ocean, is a big decision. That’s why safety is at the core of everything we do. Our outstanding safety measures are the foundation of our program, giving Windsor Hills parents total peace of mind. Here are some of the ways we keep campers safe:
- Trained Lifeguards & Water Safety: Our team includes dedicated lifeguards on staff, and we station counselors in the water whenever campers are swimming or boogie boarding. Additionally, professional LA County lifeguards patrol the beach near our camp areas. Non-swimmers and first-time ocean-goers are closely guided until they build confidence.
- Secure Environment: We have clearly marked boundaries for all camp activities on the beach, so children are always within a safe zone. Campers are supervised during bathroom trips (no child ever goes alone), and we enforce strict check-in/check-out procedures so only authorized adults can pick up your child.
- Sun Safety: Keeping kids healthy includes protection from the sun. We ensure campers reapply sunscreen throughout the day and have shaded areas (tents and canopies) for rest, crafts, and cool-down time. Hydration is also encouraged often, with water breaks built into the schedule.
- Staff Vigilance: Our experienced staff knows that a safe camp is a fun camp. They are vigilant about headcounts, buddy systems, and positivity – creating an environment where kids feel secure, cared for, and confident to try new things.
Thanks to these measures, FBS has achieved something remarkable: a 100% safety record over 26 summers. As a parent from Windsor Hills, you can relax knowing your child is in excellent hands at our Windsor Hills kids camp destination by the sea.
Bonus: Beyond physical safety, we also care about your child’s emotional well-being. Our camp culture emphasizes kindness, inclusivity, and respect – values that reflect the strong community spirit of Windsor Hills itself. In fact, experts in child development agree that camps like ours help kids grow socially and emotionally in ways school can’t. According to a study by the American Camp Association, children at camp often show increased self-esteem, independence, and leadership skills after just a few weeks of guided fun and friendship.
Convenient Transportation for Windsor Hills Day Camp Families
One of the biggest hurdles for any busy parent is transportation. We’ve made getting your Windsor Hills camper to the beach simple and safe. Fitness by the Sea provides an optional bus service – essentially “door-to-beach” transportation – so you don’t have to drive to the coast every day if you don’t want to. Our professional, licensed bus drivers and lively camp counselors turn the commute into part of the fun.
Here’s how it works: Each morning, you can drop your child at one of our convenient bus stop locations, and the bus will take them straight to camp (and back in the afternoon). We have two central pickup points especially handy for families coming from the Windsor Hills area:
- Mar Vista Stop: 4030 S. Centinela Avenue – ideal for those driving west via Slauson Ave or Culver Blvd.
- Cheviot Hills Stop: Cheviot Hills Recreation Center on Motor Ave – a convenient meeting spot if you’re coming from the east or north of Windsor Hills.
Both stops are an easy drive from Windsor Hills and save you the hassle of battling beach traffic. Our buses are modern, air-conditioned, and come equipped with seat belts (and booster seats if needed). Two enthusiastic FBS counselors ride along on every route, leading sing-alongs, games, and trivia to kick-start the camp spirit the moment your child boards. By the time campers arrive at Santa Monica or Pacific Palisades, they’re already smiling and energized for the day!
Of course, using the bus is optional – you’re welcome to drive your child to camp directly on any days you prefer. The flexibility is yours. Many Windsor Hills parents love having this option, using the bus service on busy workdays and driving on days when it fits their schedule. It’s all about making camp as accessible and stress-free as possible for your family.
Extended Care to Fit Your Schedule
We understand that work schedules don’t always align with camp hours. That’s why Fitness by the Sea offers extended care in the afternoons. If you need a little extra time before picking up your child, we’ve got you covered. Our standard camp day ends around 3:30pm, but with extended care, your child can stay and play under supervision until 4:30pm or even 5:30pm (your choice of end time). This add-on service is a lifesaver for many working parents, ensuring your camper is safe, having fun, and looked after until you arrive. During extended care, we provide low-key, enjoyable activities – think snacks, group games, or beachside relaxation after a full day of camp excitement.
Extended care is just one more way we strive to accommodate Windsor Hills families. Combined with our flexible week-to-week enrollment, it means you can tailor your camp experience to your needs. Need only a couple of weeks of camp to fill the gap between family vacations or summer school? No problem. Want the full summer coverage with aftercare while you work? We have you covered there too. At FBS, convenience is key.
Affordable Windsor Hills Kids Camp with Early Bird Discounts
As a premier camp, we’re committed to delivering an exceptional experience – but we also work to keep it affordable. We believe every child should have the chance to enjoy summer at the beach. Fitness by the Sea offers competitive pricing and great value for the quality of programming we provide. In fact, when you register for multiple weeks, the weekly price drops.
Early planners can take advantage of our early bird discounts as well. Sign up by April 17 and enjoy reduced rates. For example, if you enroll for four or more weeks, you’ll get an early bird rate as low as $495 per week! That’s a fantastic deal for a full week of camp (Monday through Friday) packed with activities, supervision, and memories that will last a lifetime.
No hidden fees here – our tuition covers all regular camp activities. The optional extras (bus transportation, extended care, certain special programs) are clearly outlined so you can choose what you need. We also have sibling discounts if you’re sending more than one child. Our goal is to provide an outstanding Windsor Hills day camp experience that fits your budget and exceeds your expectations.
