Escape to an island paradise for six days and five nights of unforgettable beach camping under the stars on Catalina Island! This immersive outdoor adventure begins with a scenic journey from Los Angeles Valley College to San Pedro Harbor, where campers will set sail across the Pacific aboard the Catalina Express to a breathtaking island oasis just off the Southern California coast.

Once on the island, campers will have the chance to explore hidden coves, pristine beaches, and scenic hiking trails while encountering Catalina’s unique wildlife, including bison, deer, island foxes, flying fish, dolphins, seals, and Garibaldi.Whether they’re snorkeling through crystal-clear waters, kayaking along the rugged coastline, or paddleboarding in the bay, every day is packed with exploration and adventure.

Campers can dive into an array of activities, such as swimming, tide pool exploration, shark fishing, hiking, disc golf, and cooking freshly caught seafood—all while embracing the laid-back island lifestyle. As the sun sets, everyone gathers around the campfire to share stories, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the magic of a starlit sky with newfound friends.

Our home base at Bahia Azul, adjacent to Two Harbors Campground, provides a secluded camping experience with access to a semi-private beach. With all logistics—including food, transportation, and supervision—carefully handled, campers can fully immerse themselves in the adventure.
