Is this a military bootcamp?

No. It's the opposite. Kids work hard and have fun. Coaches push them with respect — never yelling for the sake of yelling. The discipline is real, but the energy is positive.

What ages do you take?

The P's & Q's Day is built for ages 6–12. We can usually accommodate younger or older siblings on request.

What actually happens during a P's & Q's Day?

Six hours on the beach, built on four pillars — Discipline, Confidence, Mental Toughness, and Leadership — with 2–3 hands-on activities per pillar. Warm-up and run, sand drills, breath work, team challenges, a finisher game, a championship lunch, and a rank check where kids earn their next band. Lunch and all gear are included.

How does the belt / ranking system work?

Like martial arts. Kids earn a colored band for each milestone of Days completed — White, then Blue, Green, Gold, and finally Black. Every band comes with a real prize, from booster packs at White all the way up to the black headband and a Champions Trip with fellow Champions — plus new responsibility and leadership roles. There's always a reason to come back for the next Day.

What does my kid need to bring?

Workout clothes you don't mind getting sandy, a labeled water bottle, sunscreen on before arrival, and a willingness to try. We provide everything else.

What if my kid is shy or not athletic?

Perfect. That's actually our favorite kid to coach. Our pillar system meets each kid where they are and builds them up. No one gets left behind. No one gets embarrassed.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. If your kid hates their first Day, we refund it — no drama. Plus a Beat-Your-Baseline guarantee: beat your start-of-day numbers by sundown, or your next Day is on us.

Are you really a nonprofit — where does the money go?

Yes, we're a registered nonprofit. Parents and local sponsors can add an optional donation when they enroll, and 100% of it goes back to the kids: need-based scholarships, support for local youth charities, and keeping our coaching affordable. Need help affording a spot? Just ask — no red tape.

Are coaches certified and background-checked?

Yes. All coaches are background-checked, first-aid and CPR certified, and have references on file. We carry youth athletic non-profit insurance.

A Kids' Beach Day Program in Del Mar: What to Expect

Wondering what a full day on the sand looks like for a 6–12 year old? Here's the honest rundown of a P's & Q's Day at Del Mar Beach.

The shape of the day

Six hours, built on four pillars with a championship lunch in the middle: a formation warm-up and circuit (Discipline), solo challenges (Confidence), a no-quit relay and circuit (Mental Toughness), a captain challenge and beach cleanup (Leadership), then a Championship Challenge where everyone finishes together.

The rank check

The day ends with a rank check, where kids earn their next band — and the prize that comes with it. White band kids get a booster pack; the path runs all the way to a black headband and the Champions Trip.

What to bring

Workout clothes that can get sandy
A labeled water bottle
Sunscreen on before arrival
A willingness to try

Lunch and all training gear are included. The coach-to-kid ratio is 1:8.
