Spotlight on Boogie Wonderland

Big Adventures for Little Beach Lovers

Boogie Wonderland is designed for young beach lovers who thrive with a slower pace, smaller groups, and plenty of time to explore, play, and build confidence in the ocean.

Designed for children ages 4–8, Boogie Wonderland is a week of beach adventures where campers discover just how much fun a day at the beach can be. Our goal is simple: help kids fall in love with the beach while building confidence, independence, friendships, and respect for the ocean.

Every day brings something new. Campers might spend the morning bodyboarding in the shorebreak, searching for sea life, playing beach games, making crafts, or cooling off with water activities. Every activity is designed to build confidence while keeping kids active, engaged, and smiling.

  • A welcoming environment where every child can succeed

  • No swim requirement and life vest option.

A Typical Day

Every day is shaped by the ocean conditions, but activities may include:

  • Bodyboarding

  • Beach games and relay races

  • Sandcastle challenges and creative play

  • Marine life exploration

  • Crafts and nature activities

  • Water games

  • Snack and shade breaks

  • Plenty of time to make new friends

No previous beach or surfing experience is required—just a child who loves to play, explore, and get sandy.

Growing with Aqualand

Many Boogie Wonderland campers return year after year before moving into Seal Training, Surf Camp, Bay Camp or our homeschool enrichment program, Way of the Waterman. It's often where lifelong friendships—and a lifelong love of the ocean—begin.

Help Us Make This Week Happen

We're hoping to run another amazing week of Boogie Wonderland, and we need five more campers to make it happen.

If your child has been wanting to try Aqualand, this is the perfect opportunity. Invite a friend, cousin, or neighbor, or share this program with another family who has a 4–8-year-old beach lover.

Boogie Wonderland is one of our favorite programs because it's where so many children first discover a love for the ocean in a safe, encouraging environment. We'd love to spend the week with your family.

Ages: 4–8
