You asked—and we heard you, parents of 4 and 5-year-olds who’ve been waiting for a camp that’s just right for your little beach lovers. Last summer’s Boogie Wonderland sneak peek was a smash hit - so we are back for a full schedule in 2026

Boogie Wonderland—an Aqualand experience designed for ages 4–8. This camp is all about capturing the magic of a carefree beach day—without the pressure of structured board skills or surf progression. We’ve swapped out the surfboards and swim tests for timeless, silly, sand-between-your-toes fun, tailored to kids who are still growing their water wings.

Think: beach walks, dance parties, splashy games, castle building, snacks under a shade tent, and that irreplaceable childhood feeling of being salty, safe, and seen.

Boogie boarding sessions will be available when conditions permit, but the ocean is optional for all campers —and unlike our Bay, Seal and Surf Camps, life vests are allowed. It’s perfect for younger groms who are new to the ocean or just want to boogie on the beach until they’re ready to boogie in the water.
