Some of these photos are still pretty good so maybe we'll find use for them again this year.

Old Camp Photos Still Getting Use
Can't believe it's almost time to start preparing for summer camp 2012. Going through some old photos today to update the website, and came across these from a few years ago. These pictures were used on our AlohaBeachCamp.com website in 2008 (four years ago).
Some of these photos are still pretty good so maybe we'll find use for them again this year.

Teaching a Nervous Camper to Surf
Sometimes campers are hesitant to try new activities. Totally cool! Aloha Beach Camp's philosophy is to encourage participation, but never force campers to do anything they're not comfortable with. Kids should take their own time and only engage in camp activities when they feel ready.
One way we encourage kids to feel more comfortable is by easing them into the participation process. Take surfing for example. Campers start out with a surfing lesson on the sand, but many kids are easily intimidated by the surfboard itself, let alone the ocean. So rather than using an actual surfboard, campers can learn to surf on their beach towels instead, gradually moving onto the board and into the ocean at their own pace.

Breaking in a new surfboard...
Happy Holidays everyone. I'm in Malibu right now, about to break in/demo a new surfboard. Assuming this board rides nicely, we'll order a bunch of new ones just like this to use at camp next summer.
Worried about too much sun at beach camp?
Sometimes parents get concerned their kids might get too much sun exposure at beach camp. Trust me, you shouldn't worry yourself unnecessarily. The girl in the photo below attended Aloha Beach Camp last summer and never even turned pink! It goes without saying if she didn't get burned, your child probably won't either! :)

It's great to be a kid...
