FAQ’s
Who should register for this program? Any teen looking to have an unforgettable week on the Central Coast with lots of outdoor adventures, while also improving their self-confidence, communication, and trust with others. If the activities in this program aren’t right for your teen, you can check out our Main Camp and Teen Leader program for other options!
Where do teens stay during California Coastal Adventures? Most nights the teens will stay in cabins designated for the Coastal Adventures Program, with a camp counselor. We split cabins up based on camper’s gender cabin preference, so each teen will be in a space that is comfortable for them. For one night of the program, teens will go on a camping trip at a local state park and sleep in a tent with their cabin mates! Our cabins include a private bathroom and shower, so campers can take care of all of their personal hygiene needs before and after a day of adventuring!
What activities will teens do during the program? We fill the week up with as many adventures as we can, and will send an itinerary out to registered families before the session. The week will include surfing, zip-lining, rock-climbing, camping, kayaking, and more!
Who goes with the teens on the trips? Safety is our top priority at Camp Ocean Pines. That’s why we carefully select and hire trustworthy staff. For all daily excursions, we ensure a minimum of three staff members accompany the group, maintaining a 1-to-4 staff-to-camper ratio for every adventure involving 12 teens. All camp drivers are over 21 years old and must pass a driving test. For water activities, we always have at least one certified lifeguard on hand. While zip-lining and surfing are facilitated by trusted external agencies, rest assured, our staff will be present throughout to ensure a safe and fun experience!
Are all activities mandatory? Not at all! At Camp Ocean Pines, we follow a ‘Challenge by Choice’ philosophy, encouraging campers to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. However, our staff will never pressure or force any camper to participate in an activity they're not comfortable with.
