My twin girls had never played volleyball before, just a spark of curiosity -- and after day one at…read morecamp, they came home absolutely glowing. They were lit up with excitement, already asking when they could go back, and proudly showing off everything they learned. As a former middle school volleyball player myself, I recognized that fire -- and it was so beautiful to witness it being ignited in them. Jenna, who runs the camp, is truly exceptional. I had a last-minute mix-up with our registration, and she handled it with so much kindness and ease. Within minutes, everything was sorted -- even though it was the very same day. Her passion and warmth are contagious, and you can feel how deeply she cares about creating a meaningful, empowering experience for each child. This isn't just a sports camp -- it's a space where kids feel seen, inspired, and excited to grow. If you're looking for a joyful, supportive way to introduce your child to volleyball -- or just movement and confidence in general -- I can't recommend this enough.

Youth Soccer Should Build Dreams, Not Break Them…read more We are witnessing a devastating failure of oversight at Sand & Surf Soccer Club. One coach in particular has crossed the line from discipline into cruelty -- speaking to young, hardworking, impressionable players in ways that drain their stamina, crush their confidence, and drive them away from the sport they love. This is not just about one bad season. It is about a culture where bullying goes unchecked, promises of improvement are broken, and leadership fails to protect the very children they claim to develop. When a single coach is allowed to act this way, the damage spreads across the entire club. Every young player deserves encouragement, respect, and the chance to grow. Instead, we see dreams being killed by words and actions that have no place in youth sports. We call on: Club members to demand accountability and refuse to normalize toxic coaching International soccer leadership to recognize this oversight gap and enforce standards of conduct Coaches everywhere to remember: your words can either build futures or destroy them Silence is complicity. It's time to stand up for the players whose voices are being drowned out. Their dreams matter. Their futures matter. And we will not allow negligence to continue unchecked.

The coaches are supportive and teach soccer techniques in a fun and age appropriate manner. The older kids group gets to scrimmage and we really see their acquired skills in action.

They allow more kids than they can manage to attend. My daughter didn't even get a second snack because the line for snack was too long. When I complained to the director, I was basically told that it was my kids fault that they didn't get to do any of the activities, as kids choose what they want to do. I will not be sending my kids to this camp ever again and I am telling my nieces and nephews, who were scheduled to go next week, to cancel.

This camp is incredible! My children (ages 9 & 5) liked that they could choose the activities they…read morewanted to participate in throughout the day. They especially enjoyed the sewing and baking rooms where staff could assist them in these experiences. My kids also liked the special activities for different days that were in addition to the activity rooms. They had a blast with the go karts and thought the reptile and birds special presentation was really neat. My son was thrilled to participate in some sort of game show-like competition where he was proud to win this multi-colored poop emoji hat. I like this camp because it's convenient for parents. All I need to do is send my kids with a water bottle; I don't have to pack snacks, lunch, or even sunscreen since it's provided. I appreciate that I can sign them up the day of camp and I don't need to plan ahead. I also appreciate the long hours of the full-day camp, but I can pick up my kids whenever it's convenient to me. I've always experienced prompt staff interaction with pick-up and drop-off. Lastly, the staff at the Manhattan Beach location were friendly and professional. Rachel, the camp director, runs an organized camp, responds to email quickly, and is very welcoming. Grand View is an ideal location to have Steve and Kate's Camp due to its ample space. We hope it's there next summer too because we'd all enjoy to go back!

To preface, my daughter did their summer surf camp this past summer with three of her friends…read morebefore kindergarten and she had a blast! When school started I was tasked to plan a beach party to kick start the school year with some other families for the kindergarten class at our elementary school and I'm SO happy I broke away from the regular vendors that the school usually go to in the past. "Perfect Day Surf Camp" really did give us a SUCH A Perfect Day! The parents were happy to see a different group who brought in some new and fresh activities and the kids were happy that the activities were stuff that they could easily participate in! These are 5 year olds so it's no easy feat to keep them engaged but Perfect Day pulled it off! Most importantly, Robbie, the owner was AWESOME. She texts and emails - which I love because makes planning so much easier! PLUS, she was actually there to supervised and facilitate on the day of! The attending parents thought it was awesome too! Now I don't expect Robbie to be present at every event because her business was quite large. However we were really happy and grateful that the owner of the business was on site for our event because we knew things would get done right! There was some confusion , my fault for not reading the address listed on the contract clearly, about the meeting place on the day of the party however Robbie and her crew were on it! They quickly moved their stuff to our party site . It was just on the other side of the life guard tower, however they did have equipment and a tent already set up that they had to lug over so it wasn't easy but we so appreciate them for accommodating! Confirm the address with Robbie before the party! Don't be lame like me! Whomp Whomp!! Also! Have parents sign waivers before your party, but Robbie is a professional and actually brought waivers for all attending families to sign in person. Like I said she was on it and made things less stressful for us! So we've experience both with the surf camp and the beach party with Robbie and her crew and it's A+++++ all around! Highly Recommend! Thank you so much for giving us such a PERFECT DAY!!

Not only did my kids have a total blast, but the camp is run like a well oiled machine. You can order pizza for your kids lunch online ahead of time so you don't have to make their lunches - and they'll LOVE you for it! You can order hats for your campers ahead of time too. And at the end of the week the moms get a free hat as well. Who doesn't love a freebie?! All the camp staff and counselors were kind, energetic and helpful with the kids. There's all kinds of fun things to do on the beach - not just surfing. They play all types of fun beach games . The counselors help the kids with everything. All the kids have to do is decide which fun things they want to do. It's all offered everyday. There's also plenty of shade if the kids need a break from the sun. The drop off and pick up was super smooth. Which is pretty impressive since it happens in the walk streets of Manhattan Beach where it can get pretty congested. But they have a staff member waiting to receive kids as they get dropped off. Then they inform the crew on the beach that your kids have arrived on a two-way radio and send the kids to the crew waiting on the beach. All very safe and smooth! This camp has clearly been operating long enough that they have it all figured out. But since it's run by moms, they have that certain attention to detail, only a mom would be able to do! We will definitely be back next summer. Both my kids and I enjoyed this camp very much!
