THIS PROGRAM SELLS OUT FAST.
We highly recommend registering as early as possible to ensure your preferred week, particularly if you are registering multiple campers.

• Due to the high rate of returning campers, many weeks of the summer sell out before camps start in June. We HIGHLY recommend registering AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE to ensure your preferred week and location.
• We will not compromise our program quality by overselling or overcrowding our camps. Safety and small groups are the keys to successful experiences.
• There is a waiting list for sold out weeks, so if you do not have calendar flexibility, there is a chance you can get in if another family cancels.
• TIP: Campers who start at the beginning of summer have the whole season to practice new skills.

• For boys and girls ages 4 – 6
• Positive learning environment

The Summertime S.P.F. Mentality: Safety – Program – Fun!

All Keiki campers are expected to participate in the ocean. This camp is designed for kids who want to be in the ocean. This is not an appropriate program to help kids get over their fear of the ocean or the water. If your child is fearful of water activities, we recommend private lessons to help them overcome this fear. This should not be your child’s first time in the ocean!

All Keiki Campers Must:

• Be able to follow directions
• Be independent bathroom users
• Not have a strong fear of water or the ocean
• Have experience with swim lessons in a pool environment
• Keiki Campers do not need to be strong independent swimmers, but they must be able to keep themselves above water independently.
