Q

Program Overview

We think of our BEACH program, formerly "Beach Camp", as the perfect introduction to the beach and ocean for our younger participants, starting at age 4, and a comfortable fun space for those 7 and older who aren't quite ready or interested in joining a specialized program like our OCEAN, SURF, VOLLEYBALL or LACROSSE programs.

Throughout the week, campers will be immersed in a range of exciting beach and water activities along with carefully crafted games and ocean safety lessons tailored specifically for their age group. From understanding rip tides, currents and wave formation to practicing whitewater boogie boarding and exploring beach ecology, our campers will be engaged in both learning and play.

We’ve created an environment where every day is an opportunity for campers to learn, grow and create lasting memories on the beach!

Our BEACH program is divided into two age groups:

Mini Groms | Age 4-6

Groms | Age 7-10

Our girls (5 yo and 7 yo) LOVED the camps! They did beach and surf camp, respectively, and couldn’t wait to go every morning. The coaches and counselors were really kind, fun and appeared to really enjoy making it an incredibly enjoyable experience for the kids. High recommend! – Julia S., 2024

This year has been the absolute best year yet. Everyone has been amazing from pick up and drop off to the instructors! Billy has come home every day so happy. The instructors have been so playful, encouraging, and insanely fun. We booked another week this summer because it was such a magical week. Thank you for everything! – Lauren A, 2024

Our son had a hard time separating at drop off and Coach Joe did an amazing job giving him some extra attention and distracting him while we left – we knew he’d be happy once he was there and he was! – Sarah S, 2024

Our son loves attending BeachSports. The staff is always super friendly from drop off to pick up. They are giving him high fives and making him feel so included. He’s already asking when he’s going back. Jamie S, 2024

Our daughter wanted to spend a week in a Beach Camp so we enrolled her and flew out for a week. This year has been a challenge as we are navigating an autism diagnosis and realizing what challenges her and why. The staff has been responsive and extremely accommodating. This is by far the best camp I’ve ever had my kids in – and I have four children with K being my youngest.

Staff were amazing. Very positive, professional and attentive, yet still very fun. Their process of checking in and checking out gave me confidence every kid was being accounted for. Felt very comfortable dropping off my 4 year old for the first time at camp. If you want your kid to go to bed early, send them to beach camp. They will have a blast and be worn out by the end of the day 😉

We tried a bunch of different camps this year and it’s no surprise that Surf and Beach camps were the kids favorite. We asked them if they could only do one camp the whole summer and it was immediately “BeachSports”. You’ve always had the best coaches but this year was exceptional. From making the kids feel like an important part of the group to the ease of drop-off/pick-up, this summer was off the charts.

The entire staff were amazing! Everyone was upbeat and so welcoming at drop off and pick up. Maze loved her experience at Beach Camp and wants to go back next summer!

I got to watch my daughter in camp for a few hours and I was very impressed. The coaches had the rotations organized so well and they were really engaged with the campers, especially in the water. My daughter had such a great time that she’s literally crying because she already misses her coaches. That tells me she had a ton of fun and felt so taken care of!

Q

How We Prioritize Safety

In an environment as dynamic as the beach and ocean it's important to identify negative or dangerous situations before they occur. In our 20+ years operating youth programs on our local beaches we've had the opportunity to experience these situations and have developed protocols for avoiding and resloving them. Below are just a few ways we act proactively to keep participants safe.

Low Coach:Participant Ratios

We maintain a ratio of at least 1 Coach per every 4 to 6 participants, depending on the program activity. This ratio does not include our Directors, who oversee all camp activites, or our Coaches-in-Training who provide additional eyes on participants.

Small group sizes

Participants enroll in small groups within each program and are assigned designated Coaches for the week. This allows Coaches and Participants to develop a close relationship ensuring focused instruction and increased safety for each Participant as Coaches are able to easily identify and manage their small group.

Lifeguard Communication

Programs are setup next to staffed lifeguard towers. Our coaches communicate daily with the lifeguard on duty to address ocean conditions and any safety concerns. Any injury that may occur will be assessed by the lifeguard on duty.

Program Rules & Conduct

Emotional safety is equally as important as physical safety at BeachSports. Bullying and innapropriate language and behavior are not tolerated and will be addressed immediately by Coaches and Directors who have been trained by professional educators to handle such situations.

Sun Protection

Multiple sunscreen reapplication breaks are scheduled throughout the day and Coaches assist with application when necessary.  All participants receive brightly colored SPF 50 lycra swim shirts/rashguards for additional sun protection and easy identification.

Trained & Vetted Staff

Our Coaches are CPR & First-Aid certified, undergo criminal background checks and complete an online training course prior to their first day of work. Each program location has a Director who oversees the program and maintains communication with our Director and Office Staff for easy parent communication.

Q

Leading By Example

We strongly believe that the quality of our program is determined by the quality of our team. We focus on finding kind, personable, energetic young adults to lead our programs and we support them with a leadership structure that ensures a positive experience for our participants, their families and every member of our team.

Did you know? Many members of our Team are former BeachSports participants themselves!

Program Director

Our Program Director, Jenn Martin, oversees all camp locations and is always available during camp hours to support Location Directors and Head Coaches and to communicate with parents. Jenn is a mother of two, a former private school teacher and D1 collegiate soccer player and is exceptionally skilled at communicating positively and effectively with our participants.  She is also responsible for the creation and evolution of our program curriculum which is based on her professional teaching experience.

Read Jenn's Bio

On-Site Team

When you arrive on your first day at BeachSports, you'll be greeted by several smiling faces each with a specific set of responsibilities to ensure an exceptional experience for both you and your participant. 

Location Directors

Each program location (MB, RB, HB) has a Location Director who oversees all programs and Coaches at that location. Parents will have a direct line of communication to the Location Director at their child's location during program hours.

Head Coaches

Your participant will be assigned a Head Coach for their Group who is responsible for implementing the program curriculum and ensuring camper safety throughout the week. Head Coaches are skilled in their respective programs and are eager to share their knowlege with their participants.

Coach + Coach-in-Training

Supporting our Head Coaches in providing a safe and fun environment are our Coaches (16 years +) and Coaches-in-Training (14+). All Coaches are CPR and First-Aid Certified and are required to complete a detailed online training prior to their first day of work.

Coach Ratios

We maintain very low Coach to participant ratios in all of our programs to ensure a safe and educational program. We've listed the ratios on each Program page, which range from 1:4 to 1:8 depending on the program.  It's important to note that Location Directors and Coaches-In-Training are not included in those ratios so the actual ratios are even lower!

Q

Communication is key

A direct line to your child

Rest easy knowing you'll be able to reach your child via a direct phone line to your Location Director on-site during camp hours. You'll receive the dedicated phone number in your confirmation email.

Office & Camp Communication

Our Leaders on-site at our programs communicate regularly with our Office Team to relay relevant participant information.

Hear it from us first

In the event of an accident or incident involving your participant, you'll receive timely and direct communication from our Team along with a detailed description of the event and the actions taken.

Lifeguard Relationships

We communicate daily with the lifeguards in the towers at our program locations to identify any potential safety concerns and implement a daily plan.

Relevant Program Info

While we try to minimize the number of emails we send, you will receive all the important program information prior to your first day as well as relevant program updates throughout the week.
