WELCOME to the Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center—a one-of-a-kind, youth, aquatic center.  Our goals are to provide unique aquatics and camping experiences for the youth of Southern California and, in turn, give youth self-confidence by exposing them to water safety, rescue methods, care and use of equipment, and physical fitness.



In January of 2003, Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center was turned over to Learning for Life, a classroom-based program that provides an action-learning process with grade-specific lesson plans for grades K-12, plus a complete supplement for special-needs students. It helps youth meet the challenge of growing up by teaching character and good decision-making skills and then linking those skills to the real world.



Developed by professional educators and child-development experts, the Learning for Life curriculum has three basic components: school-based learning, connecting activities, and work-based learning. Combined, these components provide a structure through which youth learn the value of respect and responsibility while discovering a world of career opportunities.



Learning for Life was established in 1991 to meet the critical needs of young people as they face the ever-growing challenges of today's society. Since its establishment, Learning for Life has served over 10 million young people (and their families) from kindergarten to age 20 through our school and work site based programs. As we move into the 21st century, Learning for Life is poised to have an even greater impact on the youth of today.
