Counselors instruct campers to reapply every 80 minutes. There are dedicated times at snack, lunch, and during free play. We do ask that you bring your camper pre-lathered up!
No matter what camp you go to you'll need water, food, and a smile for a successful day. If you're going to Santa Barbara's Beach Camp/Art Camp bring a towel, a swimsuit, and sunscreen. For Skate Camp you'll need a board, pads, and a helmet. At Adventure Camp you'll definitely need a good pair of sneakers, a bathing suit and towel as well.
Yes, at our Santa Barbara locations we have inclusion. Goleta's is a work in progress.
Counselors are majority UCSB/SBCC undergrad who are getting their minor in FUN from the University of Lobster Jo. All are CPR/FA certified, TB screened, background checked, trained for mandatory reporting, and pass an interview process to become a counselor.
No, we do have a swim assessment on the first days of camp but that is for us to determine who needs a life vest near the water. We have plenty of non-water activities!
Lobster Jo's Beach Camp is one of the ten least expensive summer camps when you break it down in dollars per hour. This year we are 8.33$/hr for city residents!
