About Us: Local Beach Camp was founded by best friends Lexie Kelly and Bruce Asper with a simple goal, offer a beach camp to our community small enough so we can tailor the activities to the specific needs of each camper, while creating an atmosphere of support, empowerment and encouragement. For three hours a day, kids can be kids and be experience this wonderful community as it was when Newport was just starting to be a permanent place to live. We swim in the ocean, play games, tell stories, have relays and beach olympics and generally just laugh. You might find us having an aggressive (optional) bay swim one day and running a lemonade stand the next.
