LOS ANGELES SUMMER CAMPS BLOG

The San Diego Camp Fair -- a virtual "one stop shop" for finding a great program for your kids this summer -- takes place Saturday, February 23 at the Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park.

One of the most attractive features of attending the Camp Fair is that you will be able to meet, in person, camp directors and representatives from over 50 different local programs (and others from out of state) to learn about their programs. (It's kind of like the standard wedding or bridal show concept you're familiar with, where you go booth-to-booth meeting to the various wedding vendors. Except here we're about a for summer camp show/expo, not weddings!)

So if you are looking for an amazing summer camp or program opportunity for your child in 2019, don't miss the San Diego Camp Fair. It's a free event (although free tickets are required due to a large expected turnout) and, if you're like us, what you see on the internet doesn't always turn out to be the same type of product or service you signed up for when you eventually experience or see it in person. That's another reason why getting to know so many camp representatives in person -- all in one place -- is so beneficial before you sign up for any programs. Nothing beats a face-to-face interaction so you can really get a good feel for the people running the camps ahead of time.

There's another benefit to attending the San Diego Camp Fair, apart from simply meeting and learning about all the summer camp opportunities. You might also win a free camp session or two for your child!

Here's how it works. Many of the participating camps will be offering games, prizes, activities, raffles and drawings at their respective booths. Many of the prizes are free camp sessions! So be sure to inquire about this when you speak to each of the camps when visiting their booths.  

​Hope to see you at the San Diego Camp Fair!

Apart from the opportunity to meet friendly camp representatives from all kinds of local summer day and overnight camps at the UCLA Camp Fair in Los Angeles, you'll also discover a number of amazing programs from  further away, too.

When we say "further away," we really mean it! We're talking camps from out of state and even other countries including Hawaii, Maine, Illinois, and Montreal, Canada!

So if you're looking for an overnight camp for your kids this summer, attending the UCLA Camp Fair is an opportunity you can't afford to miss. 

As mentioned above, you'll meet camp directors from many local programs and others from out of state (and the country) at the L.A. Camp Fair at UCLA. We'll share more info about all of these wonderful programs with you as the Camp Fair draws closer.  Today we wanted to let you know about MWS Student Camps from Montreal, Canada, who is exhibiting its at the upcoming L.A. Camp Fair. 

MSW Student Camps offers French Immersion Language Camps for Canadian and international students. The program is located at McGill University. Residential and day camp options are available for kids ages 7 to 10), "tweens" and early teens from 11 to 13 years, and teenagers age 14 to 17.

Programs include language study, age specific excursions (daily) and camp activities. Full day trips to Quebec City and Ottawa are available too.

The local L.A. summer camps you'll find at the ​UCLA Camp Fair will certainly be enough to offer your child an incredibly fun camp experience this summer. But just imagine how excited they'll be traveling to another country for camp!  Some of us here at L.A. Summer Camps.com have camp-age kids of our own, and we are definitely considering this program for them because it seems like the experience a lifetime where they would make many happy memories for sure.

So when you come to the Camp Fair, be sure to stop by the MSW Student Camps booth to introduce yourself and learn more about the program. Vanessa Quellos, the camp director, is looking forward to meeting you!

Most parents are 100% certain they want to send their kids to summer camp, but in many cases they aren't sure exactly which program to choose.  That's where the 2019 L.A. Camp Fair on Saturday, March 9 at UCLA is for.

Attending the March 9 UCLA Camp Fair is the easiest way for you to find the best camp for your child this year. Rather than searching website after website finding and compare various camps that may or may not interest you, instead you can come to the L.A. Camp Fair and meet representatives from over 60 local and out-of-state camps and learn about their programs, all under one roof.

There will be a wide variety of camps for your consideration at the L.A. Camp Fair. One such program you might be interested in is Army and Navy Academy (ANA) Summer Programs.

Army and Navy Summer Programs offers your youngster a co-ed motivational summer leadership, adventure, and recreation camp experience that encourages active involvement, accountability, skill development, and personal growth.

Overseen by dedicated staff focused on mentoring campers in a supportive environment, ANA classes and activities concentrate on developing good character, leadership skills, and responsibility while enhancing confidence in all campers.

ANA Summer Programs provide pathways and opportunities for all summer campers to:
• Acquire honor and pride in themselves and their community
• Build positive self-esteem through goal accomplishment
• Develop self-discipline, leadership, and respect for others
• Strive for realization of individual potential
• So Much More

If you are interested in the Army and Navy Academy Summer Camp Program, be sure to stop by their booth at the Camp Fair and speak with either Michael Basista or David Johnson, who will be staffing the ANA Camp Fair booth.

But even if this program doesn't suit your fancy, don't worry! There will be many other programs and camps to see and consider at the Camp Fair!

We're expecting lots of kids and families at the upcoming Camp Fairs. We hope you'll join us, too, but we only have room for a limited number of guests because the Camp Fair venue (Pauley Pavilion at UCLA) is capacity-controlled.

​That means you'll need tickets to get in, but remember, the tickets are free and just one single ticket will admit your whole family to the Camp Fair. If you're interested in finding a great camp for your kids this summer, don't miss the L.A. Camp Fair at UCLA and grab your free tickets today.

LASummerCamps.com is sponsoring several camp fairs in 2019. We've had a slight delay finalizing the locations and dates. (Since so many events are involved, choosing which ones to affiliate with has presented a scheduling challenge.) We are certainly going to sponsor the UCLA Camp Fair and a few others including one in Los Feliz. We'll post again in a few days with finalized details about the Los Feliz Camp Fair, UCLA Camp Fair and more.
