If you were planning to figure out summer camp “later”… this is your wake-up call.

Camp fair season in Los Angeles has officially wrapped up — and that’s when thousands of families typically make their decisions.
​
Now we’re heading into April… and the window is closing quickly. But what does this mean for you?

The most in-demand camps don’t wait until summer to fill.

Many summer camps are already filling up, and some sessions may now be full. Many Los Angeles summer camps:
  • Filled a large percentage of spots at camp fairs
  • Are already running waitlists for prime weeks
  • Have limited transportation routes left
  • Are down to scattered availability
In other words — the easy decision-making window is gone.

The Reality Most Parents Don't Realize

By April, you’re no longer choosing from all camps…You’re choosing from what’s left.

That doesn’t mean you’re out of options. But it does mean you need to move quickly and be flexible.
 If you haven’t locked in your summer yet, here’s exactly what to do:

What To Do Right Now
  • Make a short list of 2–3 camps immediately. Search our Los Angeles Summer Camp Directory to find your favorites.
  • Check availability today (not next week)
  • Be open to alternate weeks or locations
  • Register as soon as you find a fit
​Waiting even another couple of weeks can make a big difference.

Make Today the Day You Sign Up for Camp

Every year, we hear from families in May and June saying: “Everything is full — what do we do?”

Right now, you’re still ahead of that...But not for long.
