Our Philosophy
Since
the Summer of 2000 Fitness by the Sea has been offering our unique
camp experience to children ages 5-14. We are proud to be celebrating our 9th year on the beaches of Southern California now with four locations - Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica, and South Bay.
Our Philosophy
We believe in an unstructured environment where campers are free to participate in as many or few activities as they want and are encouraged to try different things each day. Our campers have the freedom to roam from activity to activity as they wish. We offer a wide variety of activites each morning and afternoon. At our largest location, in Pacific Palisades, we are able to present at least 10 activities each morning and at least 10 activities each afternoon. At our smaller camps, in Santa Monica and South Bay, we offer at least 5 activites at all times. Another thing that you should know about FBS is that we group our campers by activity and not by age. We do realize, however, that our youngest campers (ages 5-6) sometimes need special attention and activities that cater to their needs and offer a little extra TLC. Therefore, we offer optional "tadpole" games each day that are just for our youngest campers.
Sometimes when faced with too many exciting choices campers need help making decisions. A few of our caring staff are always "roaming" to help these campers find the perfect activity.
Our
camp caters to every child. Those who love the ocean can swim with the dolphins
or participate in numerous water sports such as surfing, boogie boarding,
and paddling. Those who prefer team sports can play their favorites all day long, from capture the flag, baseball and dodge ball to soccer and volleyball.
Children
excelling in individual activities can hone their skills in martial arts,
fencing, boxing, gymnastics or dance. And those with an inclination for the arts can let loose their creativity in arts & crafts, theater games, or even face painting.
