Parents ask us this every day. They're concerned they may have waited too long to sign up for camp.

I want to assure everyone that, yes, we still have space left at camp. But it's filling up quickly -- and much earlier this year than in previous years. 

Why is Aloha Beach Camp filling up faster this year than in the past? Two reasons in particular, I think:

1.  Another local day camp closed down this year after decades in business forcing hundreds of kids to find other camps.

Hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds!) of kids who'd have otherwise attended a local (Agoura-based) day camp which closed down this year must now must look elsewhere to find a quality camp. Many of them have discovered Aloha and already signed up with us.

2. Our camper return rate (kids returning to camp this year who attended Aloha last summer) is higher than average this year.

Aloha Beach Camp has always enjoyed a high camper return rate.  But this year is off the chart. More kids than ever who enjoyed their time with us last summer have already signed up for camp again this year. That means that many of our available enrollment slots -- which would normally be taken by new campers -- have in fact already been taken by returning kids.

Just to give you a heads-up, there's one more thing I should mention which will probably make finding space at camp a little harder to find this year. 

Late next month (in May) there may be an article coming out in a prominent local magazine about Aloha Beach Camp. When articles like this have been written about us before, we've seen significant spikes in enrollment afterwards.

Since this particular article is coming out so close to summertime, there's a good possibility we could be nearly sold out by then. 

So if you're interested in signing up for camp, here's all the information you need. Just don't wait too much longer if you want to beat everyone else to the punch.

Questions or comments, please feel free to post them here. Hope to see you this summer!

All the best,

Eric
