Where and When Does the Camp Fair Take Place?
|
We're hosting five (5) Camp Fair events this spring in and around Los Angeles to help making finding a summer camp easier and more convenient than ever. No matter where you live or work, there's bound to be an L.A. Camp Fair near you.
Specific dates for each event have not been determined, we can tell you all the Camp Fairs will likely take place Spring, 2021 when the weather warms up. We expect to announce exact dates in February and will notify you immediately when we know. Meanwhile, here are the various locations where the 2021 L.A. Camp Fairs will take place in the Spring.

How Much Does it Cost to Attend?
Attending the L.A. Camp Fair events is absolutely free! But even though it's free, you'll need to RSVP by reserving free tickets in advance. We require families to reserve advance tickets so we can share the expected turnout numbers with the participating camps. The camps, in turn, use this information to ensure they staff their booths with enough people to meet and speak with you at the Camp Fair, and also so they know how many videos, brochures, and other free giveaways and promotional items to bring for everyone who attends the Camp Fair.
Should Kids Attend the Camp Fair?
Yes! In fact, we think it would be a disservice to your kids -- if not a mistake -- not to bring your kids to the Camp Fairs! The Camp Fairs are designed for the whole family in mind, especially your kids, who can enjoy games, sample camp activities, free food, and meet the camp counselors from all the various camps.
|
In addition, it's been proven kids enjoy camp much more when they're involved in the decision-making process versus when parents unilaterally make camp choices for their kids.
When kids play a part in choosing a camp, they will likely have greater happiness and success and their selected camp program. So yes, please -- bring your kids to the Camp Fair! |

Can We Register for Camp at the Camp Fair?
While Camp Fairs are principally informational events where you have the opportunity to "meet and greet " camp representatives in person and learn about their programs. There is absolutely no requirement or expectation for your to sign up for a given program while attending the event. However, many camps may indeed offer the opportunity to sign up for camp at their Camp Fair booths. Some might even offer special discounts or other incentives for doing so. Accordingly, if you come across a camp or program you love, don't be afraid to ask the camp director or representatives staffing the booth if they're offering any incentives for signing up on the day of the Camp Fair.
What About COVID-19?
As you may have heard, last year's Camp Fairs (as with all live events) had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. We've learned a lot since then! We are working with state and local officials to make sure all the protocols and safety measures are in place for a safe and healthy camp fair experience for all, including frequent cleaning of facility venues, social distancing practices, mandatory mask protocols, numerous hand sanitizing stations, and more.
Even though we are expecting a safe, healthy and fun Camp Fair experience for all, we have contingencies place. Given the fact COVID-19 makes advance planning difficult, we're holding off identifying specific dates for the Camp Fairs for another few months until the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic becomes clearer. Further, each of our venues includes lots of outdoor space, so we can easily move the Camp Fairs outside if need be. Finally, we invite you to visit our virtual camp fair website where you can learn about all kinds of different summer camp options for your kids, right from your computer, phone or mobile device.
Meanwhile, we encourage you to download your free tickets to the Camp Fair today, because one thing we do know is there will be high demand for attendance, yet firm capacity restrictions in place, which will reduce the number of people who are able to attend the Camp Fair. We want to make sure we have room for you, so grab your free tickets today.

How Do Camps Sign Up as Exhibitors?

If you operate a summer camp, school or program in Los Angeles -- or you're just interested in getting more campers from the Los Angeles area -- we invite you to join us as a camp exhibitor at the L.A. Camp Fair. Due to the popularity of the Camp Fairs among family attendees and to comply with post-COVID health and safety guidelines, we only have room for a limited number of camps.
