"Ocean Adventures" Summer Camp 2008

Summer Camp – what memories! A classic week-long residential summer camp experience is an important part of being a kid. Students at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria, California get to explore different beaches and ocean life on the central coast of California. Check out our camp sessions listed below.

“Ocean Adventures” is the theme at Camp Ocean Pines where kids connect to nature, arts, and the sea. Make new friends and explore new places! We have great counselors with a low student/staff ratio to insure safety and personal attention. This resident camp is a perfect blend of nature and adventure for students age 8-15. Love the ocean? Students at Ocean Adventures will be:

  • kayaking in Morro Bay
  • tide pooling in Cambria
  • body boarding in Cayucos
  • swimming at San Simeon cove
  • jade hunting and hiking in Big Sur
  • Along with great ocean-based activities, students will get to enjoy many traditional camp activities such as arts and crafts.

    NEW IN 2009! We have three off-site sessions. At the Big Sur Campout, students will sleep in the redwoods, hike the hidden creeks, and camp out under the stars. Students will see the endangered California condor and the Stellars’ Sea Lion. Everyone will make a jade necklace from stones they find at Jade Cove! On the Morro Bay Campout students will camp close to the ocean, kayak, explore the estuary and dunes, and go horseback riding on the beach!  The Yosemite Campout will focus on hiking and enjoying the beauty of Yosemite.

    Too old for camp but still love it? If you are 16 or 17, then consider applying for a Jr. Counselor position. Learn the leadership skills it takes to become an experience summer camp counselor. You can download an application from our website.
