Got Game Camp is One of L.A.'s Top Summer Day Camps, Owned and Operated by Coach Korey Kalman

In a perfect world, you'd send your child to summer camp and they'd say it's the best camp they'd ever been to right from the start. 

But let's face it, finding a great camp isn't always that easy. Kids can be fickle and like different things. Not to mention there's so many summer programs in greater L.A. it's hard to even know where to start looking.

So finding the perfect summer camp can be a challenge.  But what if we told you we may have found the perfect day camp right here in L.A. for your kids? Today might just be your lucky day!

Meet "Coach K"

We want to introduce you to Korey Kalman - or "Coach K," as he's known to his campers - and his Got Game Camp with multiple locations throughout Greater L.A. including its flagship location at Hancock Park Elementary School.

When we sat down to speak with Coach K, we were impressed by his calm, laid-back demeanor and dedication to providing outstanding customer service to every family. He's extremely patient and unassuming -- just the kind of person you'd want as a role model for your kids -- and explained in detail how his program works so we can share it with you.

Kalman started Game Game in 2004. He grew his program from a single after school youth basketball program location in Philadelphia into one of L.A's most popular summer day camps for kids.

Owner/Operator Korey "Coach K" Kalman of Got Game Summer Camp in Los Angeles, CA.

"I went from flipping burgers in Philadelphia  after graduating school 16 years ago and running my program at one single location to the Game Camp summer camp experience you see today. We serve hundreds of families each summer, but as we've grown, we've made a point of increasing our level of customer service and making sure every child has a first-class day camp experience," Kalman said.

"I feel a personal responsibility to deliver a day camp experience for the kids that's second to none. "Our slogan is 'We Speak Kid,' meaning we understand and can relate to what today's campers want. We've designed a program with all kind of different activities , so no matter what your child is looking for in a summer camp, they'll find it here at Got Game Camp."

More than Just a Sports Camp

When you first walk onto any Got Game summer camp location, you'll hear the happy sound of loud, inspired and happy campers yelling and laughing from blocks away. "Here at Got Game, we make everything about the kids. Our staff,  coaches and activity specialists are pros in their fields and and here to facilitate the best camp experience ever for your child. Got Game isn't just a summer camp, it's a culture," Kalman said, "designed to appeal to even the most discriminating kids."

But don't let the name "Got Game" fool you. 

"Sometimes families have the impression we're exclusively a sports camp based on the name 'Got Game,'  Coach K said.  "But we're so much more than that.  We offer a diverse program so kids can enjoy whatever it is they'd most like to do."

A diverse program is right. 

If your child loves sports, they won't be disappointed. Got Game offers every sport under the sun from football to hockey to soccer and basketball.  But it's so much more than a sports camp experience.

The Got Game program also includes water games and on-site surprise activities plus robotics, dance, science, arts and crafts, drama, theater, photography, technology. They even offer optional field trips every Friday for kids who want to experience an occasional off-site excursion or two.

Got Game even has a "Summer Academy" for students and families who need a little extra academic support along with all the fun of a summer camp experience.

You name the camp activity your child loves the most, and chances are, Got Game has it.

Flexible "Free Choice" Programming

While Got Game Camp offers a diverse program with a wide variety of different activities , it employs a "free choice activity format" allowing campers to choose which activities they want to experience each day.

"We're not a specialty-type day camp by any means," Kalman said, "mostly because we have so many activities to choose from. But our free choice activity format allows campers to basically specialize in certain activities if they want to". 

Within the broader framework of the Got Game experience, campers can pick and choose their own activities any given day.

Counselors and coaches are strategically stationed at the various activity areas. Campers are encouraged to visit the various stations to enjoy as much or as little of the activities they want.

Two 7-year old campers can attend camp the same day, for instance, and have two completely different camp experiences based on their respective activity preferences.

As parents ourselves, we like this modern and versatile approach to summer camp activity programming.  What Kalman has done is create a number of optional specialty camp experiences under a  traditional day camp umbrella.

Good thinking! When campers have a say in their own camp experience, research shows they love it more.

How Much Does Got Game Camp Cost?

If you've sent your child to camp in Los Angeles before, you know L.A. camps run the gamut from relatively cheap to -- let's face it -- often financially out of reach for many families.  That's what makes Got Game's pricing structure so appealing for many families.  The camp is strategically priced lower down the ladder of the more expensive camps.

That means if you want to send your child to a first-class day camp but thought you couldn't afford it, now you can.

Affordable Camp Tuition

"We never want to see a family miss the camp experience due to finances.  We want to make sure our program is affordable for everyone. Got Game is a first-class day camp, a high end experience your child will love, but our pricing is on the lower end of the top camps in L.A. We want as  many people as possible to be able to afford our program, so we offer discounts to allow families to enjoy money-saving opportunities. If you're looking for a high-quality camp with a reasonable price, Got Game is it."

Prices range from $285-$335/week depending on when you sign up and for how long and often your child comes to camp. Daily rates and full week prices are available . Got Game offers a 20% sibling discount, multiple weeks discount, and all-summer (think "Season Pass") discounts.  Early Bird discounts are also available meaning the sooner you sign up for camp, the better your rate.  Contact the camp for specific pricing for  your family's particular camp schedule, but generally, be sure to register by the following dates in order to get the best rates:

• Super Early Bird Discount expires April 8
• Regular Early Bird Discount Expires - May 8
• Normal rates are in effect after May 8

Information and Registration Details

Got Game Camp offers many kinds different registration and scheduling options to meet the needs of today's busy families. Kids can attend camp 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week within  a weekly session.  Got Game also offers Monday through Thursday scheduling options for kids who might not be interested in Friday field trips . (But guess what? Parents are welcome on field trips, too!)

One of the last things we'd like to point out is like most sought-after camps in the L.A. area, Got Game Summer Camp only has limited space available and sells out fast.  That means you should sign up early not only to get the best rates, but to make sure they have a spot for you and your child avoids the waiting list.
