Summer Camp Activities on the Sand

We do lots of camp activities in the water, but just as many on the sand:

What if we want to sign up for camp, but we don't know which days yet?

Since it's only February, we realize it's hard to make summer plans so far ahead. But Aloha Beach Camp is starting to get full.

The good news is, you can reserve your space without committing to specific dates. Just fill out your enrollment form leaving the attendance section blank. As we get closer to summer you can give us the specifics. Easy!
