Safety & Supervision:

Exceptional Camper-to-Counselor Ratio

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.

Committed to Every Child’s Safety

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.

My 6 year old son would stay here forever. His time at Sandy Days has made him a more adventurous, capable and compassionate little human.

The best camp! My kids were nervous about going and the very second they arrived they were instantly put at ease and excited. Music was playing and the counselors were greeting everyone. When I picked my kids up at the end of the day they couldn’t have been happier. All of the counselors are so friendly, fun, entertaining and helpful. It’s a seamless drop off and pickup and in my opinion worth every penny. My kids had the best week!

Our son (7) and daughter (6) attended SandyDays Kids Camp for the first time this year. We are visiting from New York and spending a few weeks in Los Angeles. We wanted them to be involved in something where they could make friends and enjoy time with other kids. They loved the camp and already asked if they could go back again. We only enrolled them for one week and it was clear they had a great time. With many activities to choose from and plenty of counselors around, the camp felt well organized and structured rather than chaotic. The kids had the freedom to choose what interested them without any pressure, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend SandyDays, especially for families visiting from out of town who are looking for a fun and engaging camp experience for their children in the Los Angeles area!

We have been a Sandy Days family for 10 years and two kids. Through the fires and beyond. And it's still a favorite and 'must do' every summer. Sina, Robyn, Anna and Hippie (Dave) and all the staff and counselors all make the summer memorable and each day amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Love Sandy Days Beach Camp! Our son has been going for the past six summers and can’t wait to go back each year. We love him being outside, playing in the sand, enjoying games and loving the water. He loves the counselors, games and all the fun activities. Sina also at fantastic at hiring amazing counselors who are interested and vested in the kids. Come join!

This camp was an incredible experience for our 8 year old daughter. She loved it and came home happy and tired every day. So wonderful for her to be able to connect to nature and build her confidence swimming in the ocean. Overall a terrific program, we will be back. Thank you Sandy Days!

Sandy Days Kids Camp is exceptional in so many ways. My son went for the first time in Kindergarten for spring break. I was nervous because he didn’t really swim at the time but Sina and the counselors had so many other activities planned that it didn’t matter at all! He made tie dye shirts, did cabana competitions, won the “golden broom” and bonded with campers and staff of all ages. He decided to try 1 week of the summer camp and ended up going for 4 weeks before we moved to NY. Even though we moved to NYC last August, we returned to Sandy Days for this spring break this year because it is such a special place for us. We are trying to go back for at least 1 week this summer. I’ve never seen my kid so joyful and fulfilled as he is at Sandy Days.
