We've been attending Camp Awesome for several years now. We always go for a few weeks of August. My…read morekiddos just love it. They splash around in the waves with staff and the staff is wonderful. The highlight is when the ice cream truck comes by after lunch and everyone buys a treat. All treats are pre packed with easy to read ingredients, so very accessible for those kiddos with food allergies too. All the classics - big sticks, ice cream sandwiches, bomb pops, jaw breakers, snowcones, pickles, banana on a stick, cotton candy buckets, paletas, and more. It's also one of the few camps where you purchase by the day vs the week, so the flexibility is great. It's California. Going to beach camp is a rite of passage. So is the sand you bring home in your car too.

We live in San Francisco but would go down to LA every summer so my boys can attend Camp Awesome!…read moreThat's how much they love this camp. Since I don't attend the camp myself, I asked my 10-year old what he liked about it and he said: "the staff is really friendly because even if you make a mistake and do something wrong, they don't yell at you. They let us play in the sand, there are tons of games and activities (there's a game where they said a certain type of action and you have to do it or you lose; there's also a game where we pair up in teams and capture the flag), we go to the ocean two or three times a day to swim and play games there. They're really nice and there's ice cream truck every day and pizza on Friday." Speaking of the staff, they are truly one of the best (especially Jessica!!!) and so responsive! Truly one of the best camps around. (I wish they have them in the Bay Area). Highly recommend!

The host was absolutely amazing and kept everyone engaged, laughing, and participating for the entire two hours.

My son did two weeks of camp here this past summer. He really enjoyed it mostly for the goodies…read morethey get to take home. The counselors we had weren't too friendly to me but as long as they take care of my kid I guess that's ok. They seemed to build a lot of knick knacks -- little marble roller coaster, a little night light type thing, etc, that they get to bring home at the end of the week. Just a tip, if you are absent one day they will not refund you but you are entitled to whatever they built that day. We had to miss a day and told them ahead of time so we could get the materials to build at home. They do their science thing for an AM session, then lunch and play time outside (they play games like freeze tag), and then the PM science session. I did have the same issue as the previous reviewer. I don't like that you can't get a hold of anyone at the camp in case of emergencies. You just have the general 800 number. My son says he enjoyed it so I don't regret it but what with the plethora of camp choices around I'm not sure just yet if this one warrants another summer.

I had same experience as previous reviewer. The staff is not friendly and without much experience…read more I registered my two kids for this camp for a week. On the first day, it's hard to find the location. I followed the instruction they sent in an email and asked to look for yellow sign. But it's very hard to find that yellow sign along the street and hidden in the back. In the email they also mentioned that there would be teachers to pick up, it turned out no teacher. When we finally found it, a coupe of high school students were helping sign in. But they were lack of experience, so we were just waiting for a long time. I also had the same concern as previous reviewer. If there is any emergency, it will be a concern because they play freeze tag in a empty place that close to the building. I definitely will not send my kids in next time due to all the above reasons since it's looks to me it's not well organized. Even the kid may be have some fun to build a couple of fun stuff, there are many other choices of other camps better than this. I saw some high ratings of previous reviews, but it was written 9-10 years ago. Many info is out of date. They don't provide extended care now

They spend time both indoors and outdoors which is great during the summer when an all outdoor camp can get pretty hot. My son loves the craft projects, and the sno-cones during the Friday carnivals. I asked him what his favorite part of camp was and he said "getting to play with my friends." That's another great thing: SFK goes above and beyond to honor friend group requests. As a parent, my favorite part is that it is operated by truly kind and incredible staff. The camps director, Ms. Chelsea, is very involved in every aspect of the operations and I feel comfortable leaving my son in their care. I know he is safe and the staff are attentive and caring. If I had any feedback it would be that sometimes the field trips are a little far, but they're always something worth visiting (botanical gardens, la brea far pits, museums) so it's worth it! Also, the facilities are clean, bathrooms are well-equipped for the little kids (toilet and sink stools and built in kid seat). Children wear matching camp shirts and it's very well organized. I highly recommend SoFly Kids Camp.

Caring staff, engaging projects and silly songs - something about a rubber chicken. It has been about 6 months since Camp and we are saving up for next summer so the boys can return. The South Pas site has a shaded playground which was an added bonus. I also really appreciated the customer service representatives. Since it was our first time, I called a number of times asking all sorts of questions and they were able to respond quickly and professionally. We signed up during the Memorial Day first time camper promo and also got refer-a-friend credit which was a plus.

Came to this venue to utilize one of their services for the community.. the free beach wheelchair…read morerentals! We came in through the parking lot and was almost haggled to pay even though we were just picking up a wheelchair. You usually call in advance and put your name under to secure one, and give your personal ID after signing a liability form. The lady assisted me quickly and I got the wheelchair. It was larger than I thought and putting in the back of a trunk was impossible, so not going to lie, it was almost a mile trek having to head to the Dockweiler beach nearby. The beach wheelchair however was good and was smooth over the sand, helping me assist my grandpa to the beach and was very efficient. Transferring into the seat is a bit hard, but you can move the arm rails by first raising them and twisting to the side. I noticed the venue hosts so many community events! Definitely worth a visit to come here and enjoy free yoga classes, some movie nights, and other flyers showing what's going on!

No mess at home is a huge plus, and it's eco-friendly. I also heard they have day camps when school is closed.
