Like Amelia, we all seek adventure in varying forms and levels. For those seeking adventure closer to home, Grover Beach Parks & Recreation endeavors to provide outlets for the adventurous spirit with a range of classes, camps, and activities for all ages.

Learn to square dance with Pismo's ‘N Taws, help your dog with social skills in Dog Obedience Training, learn the basics of Beginning Piano, swing a tennis racket in Beginning or Intermediate Tennis lessons, or refresh your social skills in Etiquette/Good Manners class for children 8 to 12 years of age and a special Etiquette/Good Manners for Adults!

Share the joy of adventure and encourage younger family members to take a class or attend a specialty camp! Adventures this summer include Musical Theatre Camp, Crafts & Cooking Camp, Gymnastics, Dance & Cheer Camp, and Piano Camp for Beginners.
