PBC offers a socially-safe environment where children can (and are encouraged to) be who they are and develop at their own comfortable pace.

At PBC, Day Camp is about the experience. It's about building better people and creating better tomorrows. The Fun-Based activities and events are the tools by which children develop self-esteem and confidence, respect for others and appreciation for differences.

Amid the fun and excitement, children learn the fundamentals of good sportsmanship, positive leadership, and acceptance of what they and others can do rather than what they cannot. 

Selecting a Day Camp program should take time, because the result is very, very important.

Built on generations of experience in and around Camp, PBC is proud to celebrate our 14th Summer of fun & friends in Palos Verdes.

For over a decade, children have come from South Bay and Palos Verdes neighborhoods to enjoy safe, fun, and enriching summer vacations.
