Fitness by the Sea, Santa Monica

A sense of fun and excitement builds the moment kids arrive at Fitness by the Sea, where the experienced and dedicated staff (average age of 28) schedules a daily rotating lineup of more than 80 activities for campers ages 4–14, all in a beautiful beachside setting called "the safest beach camp I have ever seen" by the Chief of LA County Lifeguards.

Youngsters can choose to to swim, go surfing, play soccer, make arts and crafts, or even put on a magic show, no highly trained rabbits required. The staff members aren't passive observers, either; they join in on the activities to foster a positive, supportive atmosphere.
