Aloha Beach Camp this is the 5th year of camp we signed our son up for. It is really nice when you can drop you child off at the camp bus that is going to drive him to Zuma Beach. There are numerous locations of bus spots to make it easier for the parents. Ethan has had so much fun boogieboarding and he took a surf lessons with the camp counselors. This is his favorite camp to go to. They have various games the kids can play with the counselors setting them up. Or if your child is like mine. They are in the water or chilling on the sand. Last year two of Ethan's friends from middle school joined him at Aloha Beach camp. Both of Ethan's buddies had a awesome time at the beach camp. All 3 boys felt like it was the best camp they have ever gone to. They ratio of counselors to campers is wonderful ! Your children well taken care of and safe. read more

We've been sending our kids to Aloha Beach Camp for years (4 years for one child and 2 for the other), and it continues to be one of their favorite parts of summer. They love the counselors, the activities, and all the games they play throughout the day. The weeks always seem to go by so quickly because they're having such a great time. While the bus ride can be a bit long, it's also the perfect opportunity to wind down or catch a nap after a fun-filled beach day. As parents, we also appreciate how friendly, communicative, and approachable the staff is. Aloha Beach Camp has created so many wonderful memories for my kids and continue to do so, and we can't recommend it enough! read more

My kids (6 & 8) absolutely love Aloha. They wake up in the morning with out any hesitation to get to the bus. They look forward to the bus rides, the songs they sing and meeting new friends. The counselors are mentors for the kids too. Every day my daughter tells me Some fun fact about one of the counselors and always has a new friend at drop off. One of my favorite parts of camp is that they encourage the kids to try something new but don't force it. If your kid loves water, they can be in the water, if they like art or sports they can do that too!!! Aloha is the only camp we keep returning to!!!! read more

One of my daughter's favorite camps. They do a great job allowing the kids to enjoy the beach or ocean how the kids choose.

Aloha Beach Camp is our favorite camp of the summer- hands down! Between the fun activities, the counselors, the transportation and the incredible owners, they really can't be beat. When I first thought about ABC last summer, my kids were in early elementary and I was nervous about signing them up for this camp. I was hesitant about them going all the way to the beach and nervous about how safe they would be (in the ocean, etc) once there. So, before signing up, I went down to Zuma for a beach day and sat next to the camp to check it out. What I saw had me convinced and comfortable leaving my kids in their care. The counselors were fun and engaging, but also had some serious rules and organization that made this camp feel safe and well run. The ratio of counselors to kids is great and they are definitely using safe practice in the water. Plus it's right next to the lifeguard tower which is obviously a plus. My kids come home tired and happy- the best combo- and never say they don't want to go to camp. I really can't say enough great things- we LOVE Aloha Beach Camp! read more

We've been Aloha campers for 4 years. My two sons emphatically said "5 stars!" when I requested their rating. They love that they can have choice over what they want to do, but everything is really well run and supervised. Well, okay, maybe I added that part! I've interacted with the counselors at the bus and they're always so great! My kids and their 2 cousins have been attending every year. This summer we're kicking things into high gear by going to Hawaii for Aloha HI Beach Camp in Oahu. My kids are finishing up their Malibu time soon and then hitting HI in late July. We all cannot wait! The staff are a wonderful family that care about our kids and we're excited to support them! read more

Our kids (6 and 8) love Aloha Beach Camp and look forward to going every year (3rd year going)! The counselors and team keep it so fun and safety is a huge priority. While jumping in the waves, boogie boarding and building sandcastles is fun, they do so much more too that the kids love! Thanks Aloha beach camp for making summer the best. read more

My kids have attended Aloha Beach Camp for the past five summers, and it continues to be one of the highlights of their year! They always look forward to the bus ride, spending time with friends, and participating in the wide variety of activities, including swimming, boogie boarding, surfing, the dunk tank, and visits to the "Sugar Shack". Many of their school friends attend the camp as well, and over the years they've also formed new friendships that they're excited to reconnect with each summer. The staff is attentive, and whenever I have a question, I receive a prompt and helpful response. What makes Aloha Beach Camp truly special is the opportunity for kids to enjoy everything Malibu has to offer in a safe, well-organized, and fun environment. It has been a wonderful experience for our family, and we highly recommend it. read more

Aloha Camp is our daughter's absolute favorite summer activity. She countsdown to summer bc she knows she'll be back to Aloha. This will be our 4th year attending and definitely not the last. She's always bringing up the Oxnard field trip and the boat ride she got to experience. As parents we love that it's a family owned and run camp. You can really tell how much the family cares for the children. Thank you Aloha Camp!! read more

Aloha seems to be the best summer camp for our kids - 8, 6 and 4. They get off the bus smiling and are tired in the evening. We are on our third summer in a row and have a hard time signing up our kids for anything else. The beach never gets old and the field trips to Oxnard Harbor are something to look forward to! Eric, Teri, Abby, and the entire team are very accommodating, especially with one of our kids who needs a bit more help. read more

I can't say enough good things about Aloha Beach Camp! My son is 7.5 and this is his 3rd summer at Aloha and it's the only camp he wants to do all summer. The third day of camp I woke him up and all sleepy he said "every day at beach camp is the best day of my life". Seriously. I am not making that up. The counselors are kind and care about the kids, they are never forced to do any activity and they take safety seriously. Communication is always answered quickly and when I have asked anything extra (like can they stay on him about wearing his hat) they are happy to help. For my beach loving kiddo it's a perfect summer. read more

This camp was extremely disappointing. They advertise having lots of activities but the only things my son did all week were dig in the sand, boogie board, and stand in the water. He has attended other beach camps where he participated in a variety of activities throughout the day. If other activities were taking place, the counselors clearly did not do a good job of engaging the kids or encouraging them to participate. The transportation was another major issue. My son disliked the bus rides, which were very long, and there was little effort made to keep the children engaged during the trip. Other camps we've attended have counselors lead songs or games on the bus, but that did not happen here. The most frustrating experience occurred on Friday when the bus arrived earlier than scheduled. I was never notified of the schedule change. I arrived five minutes before the bus was even scheduled to arrive only to be "late." When I explained that I had not been notified of a schedule change the counselor's response was dismissive and rude. Meanwhile, my son was left upset and waiting. Better communication with families and more professionalism from staff would go a long way toward improving this program. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend this camp. read more

My child is a tween and it's been hard to find a camp he will actually WANT to go to -and Aloha Beach camp is just that! My kiddo even tried surfing for the first time and only because it was offered through camp. We like Aloha and highly suggest this camp as SAFETY is key and a priority for all Camp Staff and Counselors. In addition the communication is stellar and I feel confident in the mission and values that Aloha Beach camp adheres to. We loved it last year and with that, took advantage of the discount offered to attend this year- great savings so this was a no brainer! Thanks Aloha Beach Camp! read more

5 Stars says my kid! What more could a kid ask for: 50 different options from boogie boarding or surfing all day, making arts and crafts, or just lounging on the beach with friends. Aloha Beach Camp offers the optimal California kid day camp model! read more

Super friendly staff that truly cares for the kids and takes the time to get to know them. Safe, informative and a great experience overall.

Our son is about to start his 3rd year at Aloha Beach Camp - he's 11 now, and in the past few years he's learned how to surf, boogie board, and just be more comfortable on his own. It's a great camp and I know our 5 year old can't wait until we let him go!! read more

My two boys have been going here for years, and it's their favorite part of the summer every year. They are obsessed with the counselors, who are amazing and energetic (and give out fun nicknames!). Thanks for providing such a wonderful summer experience. read more

My daughter LOVES Aloha Beach Camp! Her and her friend talked about going back to beach camp all year. She has done a mix of sand play, boogie boarding, games, and arts & crafts everyday, and comes home so happy and tired from a full day of activity. I love that the staff is in the ocean with them with a protective circle and that everyone is focused on safety and fun! read more

We love Aloha! My daughter had the best time boogie boarding, surfing and playing. She came home tired, sandy, and happy every day. We signed her up again this year and she can't wait. read more

My daughter loves Aloha Beach Camp. We did it for 2 weeks last summer and on the last day she cried while getting off the bus because she'd miss the counselors and beach activities. I made sure to add more days this summer. Transportation is easy and convenient. Busses are pretty timely for having to deal with any LA traffic. Feel pretty lucky for my kid to experience Aloha Beach Camp and spend her summer days outside and making fun memories. read more

Aloha beach camp has been our summer camp for the last five years. We have two children that look forward all year long to the time at the camp. They love doing scavenger hunts, digging in the sand, playing soccer, flag football, and of course body boarding and surfing. read more

My daughter loves this camp! The activities, counselors, bus transportation, and snacks are great. She wrapped up a full week already and will be returning later this summer. Highly recommend! read more

It will be our 5th summer with Aloha Beach Camp this year and we still love it. The kids enjoy the beach time, the surf lessons, the Wednesday paddleboarding/kayak outing, the occasional shaved ice truck. It's great that as they get older, they get a little more independence while also still being supervised. Our kiddos love it. And we love the convenience of the bus schedule. Teri is also a great communicator. Sometimes traffic messes with the bus schedule but we've never been worried as the information was always communicated. Highly recommend. read more

My two daughters have been attending Aloha Beach camp now for 4 years! We keep coming back each summer. They love spending time at the beach and engaging in different activities they love, meet new friends and learn new skills. read more

The staff of this beach camp are amazing! They are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They give daily updates with photos and keep families informed of any traffic delays coming home from the beach. My 6yo really enjoyed all the activities they offered last summer and he's attending again this summer too :) read more

My daughter has attended this beach camp for three summers and will be attending again this summer. Aloha is one of the two camps that she insists on going back to every summer. She always has a blast. The camp is very responsible and I always feel that she is safe and well looked after. They work hand-in-hand with the lifeguard to make sure that beach conditions are appropriate for the days' activities. read more

Aloha Beach Camp is the best! Our kid went for one week his first summer, two weeks his second summer, and he's going for four weeks his third summer. He has so much fun at the beach, with both the water activities and the beach activities. He even has fun on the bus. He loves the counselors so much. I didn't grow up in California, so I truly appreciate that my California kid is lucky enough to go to camp at the beach. read more

My son LOVED this beach camp. The staff is amazing and so good with the kids. Their set up feels safe and so many staff members watching over the kids. My son loves the beach and they create such fun activities that he keeps wanting to go back for more camp days. Highly suggest looking into them. The owner is WONDERFUL, very reachable and communicative. read more

Aloha Beach Camp - Had to drop off one morning and took a quick pic while they were having their morning meeting, but love the set up and so many staff members - Summer Camps Near Me - Malibu, California

Love Aloha, Our kiddos have such a good time and they always bring back fun stories. The bus is very convenient and they are very well organized. read more

Aloha Beach Camp has been a magical experience for my kids. My kids are iffy about the beach, but having the great counselors and program with Aloha, they look forward to camp every day and love the fun activities and challenges. This isn't your average camp - it's an experience that allows my kids time for fun in the sun and the ocean, exploring the reason why we live in CA. read more

Best summer camp ever! Sent my daughter here and she came home every day tired and happy. Counselors are great with applying sunscreen, my daughter never came home sunburnt. She found a new love for the ocean and even learned to surf! Can't recommend this camp and look forward to returning again this summer! read more

The staff at Aloha Beach Camp are amazing and create positive environment for kids. My daughter had such a great experience last Summer and will be returning this summer! read more

My daughter started going here when she was 6 and she absolutely it. We're starting our third summer here and she's so excited for it. The counselors are so much fun and the business is managed really well. It's easy to get answers to any questions you may have. My main concern was safety, and I feel very safe sending my daughter here. There are many counselors around at all times, and they keep the kids safe in the water. They do many activities to keep the kids entertained and offer a few field trips to the harbor over the summer to change it up a little. Highly recommend! read more

I love this beach camp here at Aloha Beach Camp! I sent my kids here and they had an absolute blast! He was skeptical to learn how to surf but he made so many friends and memories that he continues to talk about Al the time! He and his siblings will definitely come back to anything Aloha Beach Camp related !!! Xoxo read more

My son loved going to this summer camp! He looked how to surf, kayak, and more. Came home happy and was never sunburnt. Says he loved the bus rides to and from camp as well. Excited to send him back this year! read more

The best camp ever!! My kids come home every day exhausted, not sunburnt, and most importantly happy. Great engaged staff and directors and there are endless activities for every camper. read more

Very bad up this is the saddest camp I've ever been too it's like the giver sad and your trapped to a 50x50 spot on the beach with hundreds of kids the counselors cuss a lot and talk bad about other kids behind there back I know this because I could hear them on the bus. Please don't send you kids here it exposes them to things that they don't need to hear and is the most boarding thing in life. Worst camp ever read more

My 7yo loved his first year of camp. Made new friends. Was always thoroughly wiped by the end of the day. Lots of different activities and he did learn to surf and loved it! read more

I write but from the perspective of a mother of an almost-five year old that attended camp last summer. I think parents should keep the kiddos' age in mind and their abilities. The bus ride from Studio City to Malibu was simply too long for little ones (2.5 hours total per day) and the bus ride to the field trip was even longer. The bus also did not leave on time even though we were told a strict schedule would be kept. And then, the waves were too big so for safety reasons, there was no surfing for an entire week (that's no fault to the camp or anyone that works there, of course). The counselors were lovely. I'd be interested in trying again when my little one is bigger but felt like I wasted my money since all my daughter did for one week was play in the sand (that's usually free). read more

THE BEST CAMP EVER!!!! This will be my daughter's fifth year at Aloha Beach Camp. Aloha has changed her life. She struggles in school, and has a hard time making friends. Team anything was not her thing. She discovered a passion for surfing while at camp. The counselors have supported her every step of the way. She now surfs before school!! She has found confidence, and a sense of herself. Aloha has been a gift for both of us. She comes home exhausted from a day filled with surf, swim and cool activities that aren't babyish for her age group. I can't thank Aloha enough. I recommend This camp to all kids of all ages. It's the best!! Thank you Aloha!!! read more
