A time for sunshine, discovery, and unforgettable adventures! Our Spring Break camp is more than just a week off: it’s a safe, structured, and joyful environment where kids can explore, grow, and create memories that last a lifetime. Through the power of play, campers build confidence and independence, spark creativity and curiosity, develop teamwork and meaningful friendships, and nurture a genuine appreciation for nature — all while experiencing a true sense of joy and belonging.

Drop off is in Lot 4N, located at 1100 PCH, SM 90403, immediately adjacent to SM Fire Station 7. We are the small lot just north of the fire station, you will see our Sandy Days van, yellow cabanas and welcome table. Once you have parked, please sign in your child. If it’s your child’s first day at camp, he/she will be given a camp rash guard. A staff member will then escort your child down to our campsite.
Please observe posted speed limits in the parking lot and remember that there are children present!
Please pick up your child no later than 3:30pm. If you want to pick up your child early, please let us know at drop off.
Campers are not allowed to be picked up without being signed out. We will not release a camper to a person not listed on the authorized pick up list.
Sandy Days is located between two lifeguard towers, and all ocean activities occur during scheduled hours with counselors in the water at all times. Activities are age-appropriate and closely supervised, with directors overseeing safety protocols from the shore.
We maintain a 1:6 counselor-to-camper ratio, ensuring close supervision and personalized attention. Our counselors are experienced professionals, including teachers, coaches, and nannies, and complete required training and ongoing education.
Counselors and campers wear high-visibility rash guards for easy identification. Designated beach areas and daily perimeter reviews help ensure campers stay within safe boundaries.
All bathroom visits are fully supervised, with counselors escorting campers to and from the restroom and remaining nearby at all times.
Sandy Days follows all California, Los Angeles County, and American Camp Association guidelines, maintaining high standards of hygiene, safety, and care without compromising the camp experience.
Campers may bring their own lunch, snacks and water from home. In addition, we offer freshly made lunches that are delivered directly to camp for your convenience.
We are pleased to partner with Children’s Menu to deliver fresh and nutritious meals and snacks, directly to camp. Meals are made from scratch from simple, whole ingredients in the Children’s Menu kitchen in Los Angeles, and delivered fresh to camp in reusable containers. Children’s Menu features a completely NUT FREE kitchen. Substitutions such as gluten-free and dairy-free are also available. Lunches can accommodate many allergies and dietary restrictions (some fees may apply).
Don’t have time to pack a lunch every day? We have you covered.
