At Sandy Days Kids Camp, camper safety is the most important part of our job. We maintain a 6:1 camper-to-counselor ratio and have upheld an impeccable safety record for more than 17 years. Our team is trained in ocean safety, emergency response, child supervision, and environmental awareness, ensuring all campers—especially those new to the ocean—learn how to navigate the beach responsibly. With established emergency response protocols, along with structured sun-care and hydration practices, we provide a secure environment where children can explore, play, and grow.

We prioritize safety above all else. With nearly two decades of experience running a beach-based day camp, our team is highly trained in ocean awareness, child supervision, emergency response, and sun protection. Whether your child is new to the ocean or already comfortable in the water, our counselors guide them through best practices for staying safe while building confidence and respect for the beach environment. Your child’s well-being is our constant focus.

Sandy Days Kids Camp was such an amazing experience for my daughter! The team was so loving and caring—they truly made it feel like family. She went every morning with a big smile, and in just two weeks she became more confident, even less scared of the waves. We’re so grateful for the warmth and attention she received. Truly an unforgettable summer memory!

My kids are forever Sandy Days kids. They love the ocean, spark with joy at the mere mention of the beach, and always wonder what Archie the dog is doing when they’re not at camp. If you get it, you get it. Thank you, Sina!

What an amazing kids camp. The counselors and owner are so awesome. My 5 year old son has been to many camps around the world and none are as magical as Sandy Days - he really thrived there. Truly an amazing experience. Makes me wish I was a kid again. Thanks Sandy Days!

This is my girls' third year with Sandy Day and they love it! They do a lot of different camps throughout the summer and this is always their favorite -- Sina has an amazing team of counselors who make each day so much fun! They are silly, engaged and creative -- not distracted teenagers staring at their phones :-) We will keep coming back as long as SD is around.

Sandy Days Beach Camp is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness by the owner and the entire staff. The counselors were incredible – attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely caring, creating an atmosphere where we felt completely at ease. My son has been talking about his experience there since he first experienced Sandy Days two years ago and has asked to go back every summer since then. It’s rare to find a place where you feel that activities are age appropriate while letting kids grow in a fun and safe environment. Sandy Days Beach Camp strikes that perfect balance. We couldn’t recommend it more – it’s a summer experience filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories!

Sandy Days has been my son’s camp for over 10 years. No camp is as amazing as Sandy Days. My son counts down to the start date because he cannot wait for camp to start. Can't recommend Sina and his crew enough.

My son and his buddies had an absolutely amazing time at Sandy Days for two summers in a row. I grew up in Florida, so I know both the incredible things about the beach and the potential dangers. That’s why I wouldn’t trust just anyone to watch my then, 6-year-old son, without me there to supervise. However, when I found out that Sina was running a beach camp, there was no one I trusted more to keep my son and his friends safe, well cared for and to have a blast. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The counselors were energetic, patient, and truly passionate about working with children. I love how, after check-in, a counselor personally comes to escort the kids down and I really appreciated that they separate the kids by age group based on how far they go into the water. The camp is perfectly designed for kids to explore, learn, and have fun in a safe and supervised environment. My son came home each day with a huge smile and fun stories to share. It’s clear that safety and fun is a top priority, and I felt completely at ease knowing my son was in good hands. Even though I knew I was sending my son to Sandy Days, as a new mom, I still wanted to research other beach camps. However, many felt outdated and didn’t really stand out. If you’re looking for an unforgettable summer or spring experience for your children, Sandy Days is the perfect choice! 🌊☀️🏖️

Sandy Days Kids Camp is simply the best! 🌊🏖️ My daughter attended last spring and summer, and it quickly became her absolute favorite camp. She had an amazing time making friends, playing in the sand, and enjoying all the fun beach activities. She’s so excited to go back this year for every session she can! Huge thanks to the incredible staff for creating such a fantastic experience. 🌞🌊✨ Highly recommend! 💙

My son went when he was 7 for a week while visiting his grandparents in the Palisades. He loved all the games on the sand each day. The counselors were very energetic and welcoming. Lots of the kids knew each other so it took him a few days and then he totally made friends. It was so great to get him comfortable at the beach. Hopefully next year he will opt for more of the surfing and paddle boarding as he becomes a stronger swimmer. Thanks for a great summer!
