Our History, Background, and Story...

About Us

Welcome to Aloha Beach Camp's Hawaii Sleepaway Camp program, offering 1 and 2-week overnight summer camp sessions for kids and teens ages 7 to on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
Just 45 minutes from downtown Honolulu, our camp is held at Camp Mokuleia and located right on the beach where campers can see, hear, smell and touch the gentle Hawaiian trade winds and inviting Pacific Ocean waves right from their cabin doors.
Camp will be open for two weeks from Monday, July 27 to Saturday, August 8 for summer 2026. We offer convenient 1- and 2-week sessions during that time.  During their stay with us, campers immerse themselves in the Hawaiian lifestyle while enjoying safe and fun activities unavailable anywhere else. Campers are encouraged to attend the entire 2-weeks to make the most of their camp experience.

Camp Owners and Directors

Aloha Beach Camp is family-owned and operated by Eric and Teri Naftulin, husband and wife. Eric and Teri founded Aloha Beach Camp, a popular Los Angeles day camp program, in 1999.
The couple added the Hawaii sleepaway component several years ago so kids and teens would have a choice to attend summer day camp in L.A., overnight camp in Hawaii, or both. Eric is on-site in Hawaii with the kids, while Teri runs the camp office.
Eric and Teri have three kids of their own: Sarah, 29, a San Diego State University graduate and child development professional, and twin boys Josh and Noah, 25, with Sociology and Communications degrees from UC Santa Barbara.

Camp Counselors

We the extra mile to ensure your child's Hawaii summer camp experience is the absolute best time they've ever had at any camp.

Everything starts with our counselors, whose number one priority is to make sure your child has a safe, fun and amazing week of camp with us.

Our happy-go-lucky, high-energy camp counselors endure a rigorous 3-phase interview process and criminal background check. They are ultimately selected for their ability to work with kids in a leadership capacity and serve as positive role models for our campers.
Our staff is CPR, First-Aid and lifeguard certified to help ensure your child stays healthy and safe at camp. Learn more about Aloha's Hawaii summer camp staff today.

Camp Program and Activities

Aloha Beach Camp's Hawaii summer camp is the perfect overnight camp experience for kids and teens 7 to 17 looking for a new and exciting alternative to routine sleepaway camps.
We keep camper enrollment intentionally small (only 60 kids per session are accepted to our program) and only operate for two weeks (July 27-Aug 8) enabling campers who attend our program to make many lifelong friends, enjoy once-in-a-lifetime activities, and bond with the cabin mates and counselors instantly.

From sunrise to sunset, the days are packed with adventure. Campers might spend the morning surfing world-class waves, stand-up paddleboarding, or snorkeling in crystal-clear water alongside Hawaiian sea turtles. Afternoons could bring beach volleyball, kayaking, or hiking lush North Shore trails. Evenings are for campfires, s’mores, stargazing, Hawaiian cultural activities, dance parties, and outdoor movies under the palm trees.

Be sure to sign up now so we can make sure we have room for you. Aloha from all us here at camp!
