Fitness by the Sea Beach Camp
Join Them for Their 13th Year in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, and South Bay


Fitness by the Sea is the kind of camp that makes you wish YOU were a kid. Your kids get to boogie board, have their faces painted, play sports and creative games, and they come home wiped out after all the fun at their 4 different beach locations. All activities are led by experienced and dedicated staff (average age 28) of parents, teachers, and coaches, who serve as positive role models at a place the Chief of the LA County Lifeguards named the safest beach camp in LA County.


Jen’s List members can SAVE 10% when you sign up for a minimum of five days by MAY 15th.


Give your kids the unforgettable summer experience they want this summer.
