LOS ANGELES SUMMER CAMPS BLOG

Many families view specialty camps as all the rage, but L.A. has its fair share of traditional summer camp camps, too.  In fact these types of programs have been a staple for Los Angeles children to enjoy every summer for years.

One such program is Young Set Club.

​For over 30 years, Young Set Club has provided a hands-on experience where campers choose from a variety of activities, have opportunity to progressively build skills, and gain a sense of belonging.  Their camp leaders -- their counselors and staff -- build a culture that encourages everyone to help each other become more creative and thrive in a fun and supportive camp environment.

Young set club is a traditional summer day camp located in Thousand Oaks. To learn more about the Young Set Club's program and meet their staff in person, come to the L.A. Camp Fair on Saturday, April 14 at Conejo Creek North Park.

Not only will you meet representatives from Young Set Club, there will be many other excellent camps and programs who operate summer camps in Los Angeles just like theirs for you to discover. 

The L.A. Camp Fair is free and fun for everyone and will be an exciting event for the whole family, so be sure to join the fun on April 14. 

You know that saying, "there's an app for that?" 

It basically refers to the notion that whatever your interest in a certain subject or activity -- or you need help accomplishing a certain task, you're trying to find something, and so on -- you can simply download an app onto your phone, computer or tablet to help you achieve it.

There's an app for everything, and guess what? The same can be said about camps: "There's a camp for that" fits the bill exactly! 

​What do we mean by, "there's a camp for that?"

L.A. area families looking for a specialty summer camp program for their kids this summer can find the ideal program at L.A. Camp Fair 2018.

L.A. Camp Fair is a free, three-day summer camp expo event taking place on three convenient dates and locations in and around Los Angeles on March  14, April 14 and April 22.

Over 60 camps and programs will be on display. You'll have the opportunity to meet all the camp representatives and learn about their programs. It's a lot easier finding the perfect camp when they're all together in one place compared to contacting all of the individually for information.

• The March 11 Camp Fair takes place at UCLA
• The April 14 Camp Fair takes place at Conejo Creek North Park in Thousand Oaks
• The April 22 Camp Fair takes place at A.C. Stelle Middle School in Calabasas

You might choose to attend just one, two or all three camp fairs, whatever's most convenient for you.  But in order to learn about all the camp opportunities without missing anything, coming to all three camp fairs might be  your best choice since some of the camps are only exhibiting at one or two events.

Grab your free tickets to one, two, or all three camp fairs here. 

The nice thing about looking for summer programs for kids in L.A. is there's never a shortage of worthwhile programs. No matter what kind of camp you want for your kids, you'll be able to find it with such a wide selection of programs.

The thing is, though, families often limit themselves in their camp search because they may be unaware of the sheer incredible scope of available programs.

Sure, everyone knows what a day camp is, and there's many good ones in L.A.

The same can be said of sleepaway camps, too. 

But don't let your camp search stop there!

Did you know you can also find camps that specialize in certain programs, activities or events, which can really increase the potential for your child to have an outstanding summer experience by choosing a program subject that interests them the most. 

Let's say your son or daughter is really interested in learning Spanish this summer. There's a camp just for them!

Or how about computers and technology? There's even camps where your child can code a mobile app! 

Just the thought of sending your child to camp this summer is exciting. But your real challenge is finding the idea one. L.A. Camp Fair 2018 is your solution.

​By attending the Camp Fair (similar to an expo), you' ll meet camp directors and staff from up to 100 different camps and learn about their programs. All the camps will be in one place so you can take  your time going booth-to-booth grabbing free brochures and meeting camp staff. 

​Admission is free and you even have your choice of Camp Fairs to attend either on Sunday, March 11 at UCLA; Saturday, April 14 in Thousand Oaks; or Sunday, April 22 in Calabasas. 

Attending the L.A. Camp Fair is like a "one-stop-shop" for finding the best summer camp for you. Hope to see you there!
