Video of the Day
This video was produced by the American Camp Association earlier this year. Lots of people have seen it, but many others haven't. Thought I'd share it with you just in case...it's a great illustration of the benefits of the camp experience.

When will the new Website be Done?
Great question. It's taken a little longer than we thought cuz we found some new pictures and video and functionality and all that we wanted to include that wasn't there before. Maybe another week or two, then we'll be done.
Boogie Boarding at Aloha Beach Camp
Some Aloha Beach Camp kids come to camp already knowing how to boogie board. Others have never boogie boarded in their life! No matter what your experience level, you'll have a blast. If you haven't done it before, we'll teach you how. And if you already know what you're doing, great ... The waves are waiting for you now!

Check out this fun video of Keiki Camp Counselor Ricky Salazar giving a young camper body surfing lessons at Paradise Cove in Malibu. Ricky was a Keiki Camp counselor two years ago (summer 2008). We missed him in 2009, but he'll be back again in 2010. The kids are gonna be stoked to hear that!
Loving this Rain!
I'm a beach guy, but it's been raining in L.A. all week and I LOVE it! If it rained everyday all winter, it wouldn't be enough!

Is Surfing Dangerous?
With surfing, the main thing is you must have is a qualified instructor and proper equipment. Your instructor should have a vast knowledge of, and familiarity with, the ocean environment and wave conditions. We recommend only taking surfing lessons with instructors or surf camps with a minimum of 5 years experience and a 100% safety record, too.
Using soft foam surfboards is the best way to go when learning to surf. Surfing lessons should take place the dry sand before you enter the ocean. Your surf instructor should review all potentially dangerous ocean hazards and conditions, such as how to identify a rip current and how to get out of one.
Your surfing instructor should be CPR and First Aid Certified, as well as a certified lifeguard. If you are considering a surf camp for your child, make sure the camp is Accredited by the American Camp Association. We also recommend the camp be affiliated with a reputable surf camp brand or organization like Billabong.
If you consider all of the above when choosing a surf camp or surfing lessons, your (or your child's) learn-to-surf experience will be as easy and safe as possible.
