About Campus By The Sea
Beautiful beachfront location, amazing staff sharing Jesus with your kids, and memories to last a lifetime!For over 50 years, families have come to Campus by the Sea for a one-of-a-kind vacation on Catalina Island—a rare opportunity to step away from daily distractions and grow together in faith while sharing unforgettable family adventures. Our private cove has something for every age—whether your children are toddlers, teens, or college students. Where else can you snorkel, fish, kayak, sit by a baby pool, and enjoy delectable ice cream bars just steps from your beach chair? And with a full range of life vests for infants, youth, and adults, everyone can dive into the fun with confidence.
Our Christ-centered program weaves worship, teaching, and intentional faith development into daily camp life, giving families space to connect with God and with one another while having a blast! Here, families cultivate a rhythm of intentional faith and fun, creating lasting memories that draw them back year after year. Faith grows. Fun is had. Memories are made. And lives are changed!
Our 6-day, 5-night Family Camp includes lodging, meals on our ocean-view veranda, kids' program, fun activities, unique recreational opportunities, and the chartered ferry to our private cove. We offer age-based Bible lessons and activities for kids from infants to college age, as well as speakers and small groups for adults. For families with young children, we offer childcare opportunities throughout the week in addition to the morning kids' program. Our desire is that this will be a vacation where you play together, grow together, and experience Jesus in unexpected ways as you build a family legacy of lasting faith. We want you and your family to come away, meet God, and be renewed.
