What TO EXPECT 

This is a chance for guests to unplug (literally) and get away to take full advantage of the rest and relaxation that awaits all in our private cove. Our desire is to honor the long history and  legacy of family oriented camps at CBS by continuing to provide a life-changing event for families. 

This 6-day, 5-night vacation will have programming specific for adults and children. We will have a daily speaker, discussion sessions and time in the Word for adults. Children will have age-appropriate, Bible stories and activities.  Our schedule will allow enough flexibility for guests to build their own adventure, selecting from a myriad of self-service activities available in camp:

  • Basketball

  • Volleyball

  • Ping pong

  • Horseshoes

  • Shuffle board

  • Frisbee golf

  • Miles of hiking trails

You'll also have the option to partake in afternoon waterfront activities:

  • Swimming

  • Snorkeling

  • Kayaking

  • Paddle boarding

If you love to fish, don't forget to bring your own pole and tackle and camp will provide frozen squid for bait.

Nightly beachside campfires will give guests a chance to unwind, relish the amazing ocean view and share s'mores, impromptu songs, and stories.

On Wednesday, everyone will have the option to participate in a morning hike into Avalon and revel in some of the adventures our little island tourist town has to offer. If you are not able to hike you can purchase passage on a water taxi that will pick you up at camp, shortly after breakfast. A water taxi will bring back all guests from town in the late afternoon.

Lodging Overview

Campus by the Sea is one of three camping ministries owned and operated by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, an organization committed to establishing and advancing witnessing communities of students and faculty on college and university campuses across the nation.

Operating on Catalina since 1951, CBS promotes this mission by annually hosting nearly 2,000 InterVarsity college age students from over 40 different secular campuses in the Western United States from all over California to Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Texas and even Idaho. These ethnically diverse students gather at camp for weekend and weeklong conferences to encourage them in their study of God’s word, exploration of prayer and development in discipleship.
