Why Camp Ocean Pines?

Camp Ocean Pines offers a summer of fun in a safe outdoor environment with a caring staff trained to give your child a lifetime of memories.  We provide classic week long residential summer camp experiences.  Camp Ocean Pines offers a flexible schedule that gives each camper a daily choice of several activities.  Campers will develop confidence, self-reliance and leadership skills while making friends and memories that will last a lifetime.  

What Camp Ocean Pines Offers:

Cambria has a long history of providing excellent summer camps, and campers will have the opportunity to explore some of America's most unspoiled beaches, as well as ocean life, on California's Central Coast!  Our resident camp is a perfect blend of nature and adventure for students from 8-15 years old.   Our camp staff offers campers friendship, guidance, and instruction based on their chosen field of expertise. Campers are divided into cabins that become families during their time at camp.

"Ocean Adventures" is the theme at camp where kids connect to nature, the ocean, the arts, make new friends and explore new places!  This resident camp is a perfect blend of nature and adventure for kids age 8 to 15. We have great counselors with a low student-staff ratio to insure safety and personal attention.  Camp Ocean Pines is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), and our staff includes lifeguards, snorkel instructors, and Emergency Medical Technicians.
