Campus By The Sea

A place to rejuvenate and be spiritually fed. I’ve been coming her on and off since 1996 and have enjoyed every moment. I have fond memories of this place.

This past year I went to this camp with our church group. After finally arriving with an excess of 20 lbs of snorkeling gear I was super bummed to find out how strict the rules were in regards to swimming. I am not going to go into the plethora of rules they have, but they are beyond overkill. In regards to the picture of the the Catalina Express dropping off at their dock; this was not the case for our trip which was surprising as our Catalina Express was filled mostly with campers attending this camp. Additionally, there is zero cell service, and no internet. I understand many attending this camp are drawn here for this reason. However, one of the main reasons for this Unilocal is the cost of the 5min collect phone call I made (there was an attached picture but they successfully petitioned to have it removed). It cost me around $ 25.
On the positive side of things, the staff was superb, the camp was outstanding, and the food was exceptional.

I spent a not too shabby week here as a college kid with my parents (seriously, they dragged me). Food was amazing, there were plenty of activities such as hiking and swimming, speakers and night activities (square dancing, game shows, and bonfires). It was pretty sweet. Its super family centered and really focused on strengthening families especially spiritually.
The staff is some of the coolest kids I’ve ever met. They are mostly college aged, but they will take good care of your kids, and your kids will try to bring them home with the family at the end of the week. I found them to be super responsible and very mature. I know the screening process for staff is intense.
I’ll take my own family back here in a few years. Yep, that’s how much I enjoyed it.
And the best part? No cell phone service or Internet. But do be warned, there’s is no working from home. IF your going to CBS you should be spending time with your wife & kids, NOT your office.
Unilocal wants to know if this is good for kids? Are you kidding me? Of course it is. Its good for parents too.

My family and I were well-​fed both spiritually and physically! Thanks so much for all of CBS staff’s servant hearts… A slice of heaven on earth!

a great experience for me and my friends

Just got back from another great week @ CBS. My 5 yr old loves it, in fact, the whole family loves it and looks forward to it every yr. Paul & Virginia Freisen are amazing hosts and the week’s special speaker, Ray Johnston, always has funny, but introspective lessons. Can’t wait to go next year, and would recommend this Christian family camp to everyone. Oh, the chef, D’Arcy, made some incredible food this week!!! Yummy!!!
