RECREATION
WATERFRONT
CBS has a large waterfront area which is the favorite recreation choice for most of our guests. We provide lifeguard service as well as all the equipment you need to enjoy the waterfront. Please note that our beach is a rocky one and water shoes or sandals are highly recommended.
*Note: The floating yellow and blue inflatable toys seen above are only provided during our summer programs.
KAYAKING
There are more than 15 one- and two-person kayaks available. These kayaks are made for ocean use, are easy to use and hard to tip over. Life jackets are provided for kayaking and are required at all times.
STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING
There are 10 paddle boards for our guests to use in this popular activity that challenges your balance while building your core. Life jacket provided and required.
SNORKELING
Catalina is known for some of the best underwater sea life in the world. You can take advantage of this by using our masks, snorkels and fins to take a tour of the underwater beauty in our own cove.
SWIMMING
Guests are welcome to swim out to our swim float which is anchored in the middle of our swim area to relax and take in some sun. Or try your balance on our soft swim mat. Our swim area is watched by our certified lifeguard staff.
FISHING
There are lots of fish in the island waters, offering a fun activity for all ages. We provide fishing poles, drop lines, and bait. You are welcome to fish off our pier, the rock jetty or from shore, as long as it is outside the designated swimming area. California requires a license for anyone over 16, even for fishing on our pier.
INNER TUBES & BOOGIE BOARDS
These items are available for use in our swim area for lounging around in the sun.
LAND RECREATION
HIKING TRAILS
The camp is located in a private cove, allowing for great hiking throughout the canyon. Regardless of the trail you choose, you will find spectacular views of the ocean and the island. Click here to see a map of our trails.
VOLLEYBALL
We have two sand volleyball courts fenced by netting so you don't spend your time chasing the ball.
BASKETBALL
There is a full court just steps from the ocean. We ask that you refrain from playing on the court in the mornings before we ring a wake-up bell.
PING PONG
We have four ping pong tables.
GAGA BALL
It's like a dodge ball, a four-square hybrid played in a low-walled corral.
PLAY YARD
Our nautical-themed, play yard offers hours of fun for young children. Swings, beached sail boat, tug boat sand box, tree house with crow's nest, suspension bridge and a playhouse.
