With February winding down and March almost here, it's time to start planning for summer camp! Lots of parents and kids asked us to start an Aloha Beach Camp blog, and I think it's a great idea! I hope we have some lively discussions and I certainly encourage your questions, comments and participation!

For those of you who aren't familiar, my name is Eric Naftulin and I own Aloha Beach Camp, a summer beach and surf camp for kids and teens ages 5 to 15.

We offer two camp programs under the Aloha Beach Camp name. Our Aloha Keiki Beach Camp program is the first beach day camp in Los Angeles just for younger kids ages 5, 6 and 7.

Keiki campers play in the surf, learn about water safety, go boogie boarding, get an introduction to the beach and beach activities, and take part in various Hawaiian-themed activities throughout the day.

Our High Action Camp program, which takes place at Zuma Beach, Castaic Lake and other aquatic venues in Los Angeles, is for older kids who love the beach and who've outgrown the typical day camp scene. This older group enjoys instructional surfing, jet skiing, and wakeboarding along with other aquatic sport activities.

Top everything off with unreal giveaways and surprises from Billabong, our sponsor, including special appearances from Billabong surfing pros and you have the most complete "learn to surf" summer camp program available coast to coast.

Daily transportation is included from your area plus you get a 100% money-back guarantee. Aloha Beach Camp is 100% accredited by the American Camp Association. All of our counselors are lifeguards, and camper to staff ratios are as low as 3 to 1. Visit our website at http://alohabeachcamp.com for more information.
