Camp Ocean Pines
Here at Camp Ocean Pines, we like the awkward kids. We also like the sky kids, the loud kids, and the kids who love to wear capes! We accept every kid for who they are and help them grow into the people they want to be. We focus on connecting with new and old friends alike, exploring our natural world and growing into compassionate and thoughtful decision makers.
Located on the Central Coast of California, we are halfway between LA and the Bay Area. Camp Ocean Pines is nestled in a Monterrey Pine forest overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Our summers are pleasant with coastal fog, California sunshine, and a nice ocean breeze.
Our camp is small and we like it that way! With an 81 kid maximum, with a 1 to 4 staff to camper ratio. The best part? Everyone knows each other and welcomes everyone into our camp family! Campers will have a cabin of 7 other similar-aged & gendered kids with two counselors, who know every little detail of each camper.
During the day, campers have complete ownership over their schedule and choose their activities. We offer over 50 programs like archery, tie-dye and animal meet and greets, and more! Campers also have the opportunity to leave site and join us on an adventure such as kayaking or chilling at the beach.
We end our days together as a camp either around a campfire or getting slimed at our camp Double Dare. They will go to sleep that night, already dreaming of what the next day brings. We offer 4, 6, and 13-day sessions all throughout the summer for kids 5 - 17.
Families have the opportunity to drop their camper off at camp and help them move-in. The whole family gets the opportunity to check out our camp and meet our staff. Throughout the week, camp uploads photos to share with families about all the fun we are having.
Families are welcome to e-mail their campers, though we ask campers and staff to be tech-free. We believe that everyone benefits from taking a break from their devices and face time with friends. At the end of the sessions, we invite families back for a camp BBQ and an end of the week slideshow.

REVIEWS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kate S.
"Located in a gorgeous natural setting, this fun, inclusive, outdoorsy, artsy camp was an absolute joy for my kids to attend. Good to note that I have a cool kid and an off the beaten bath kid and they both loved it here. Spent their days tide pooling, trying archery, LARPing (amazing!!!), and other standard summer camp fare. Counselors were friendly, inclusive and responsible. Really well run camp!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meredith B.
"Our kid just finished a week of overnight camp at Camp Ocean Pines. They did a great job updating us during her stay and they hosted a lunch for campers and families the last day at pick up. It was really fun to meet the counselors (what a nice group!), other families, and see all the places our kid spent time. She hasn't stopped talking about it yet!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Camila B.
"A life-changing experience for my 12 yo son. Camp Ocean Pines gave my son such a fantastic experience he will cherish for the rest of his life. We had not even left the camp, and he was already planning his return for next year. So SO thankful for this camp and the many unique opportunities that give the kids an epic summer camp vacation. I cannot wait to take him back year after year until he becomes a counselor and can give back to this wonderful camp. He absolutely loved every minute of it."
