What’s a Camp Fair?
A Camp Fair is like an open house for summer programs — all gathered under one roof.

It’s fun, easy, and completely free to attend!
The L.A. Camp Fair brings together more than 150 summer camps and programs across six exciting events happening this winter and spring — and admission is completely free. Each Camp Fair is like a smorgasbord of summer fun, where families can meet camp directors face-to-face, ask questions, and find the perfect fit. Kids can enjoy hands-on activities while parents explore options ranging from day camps to overnight adventures. With over 300 exhibitors participating across all six events, the L.A. Camp Fair is truly your one-stop shop for discovering Los Angeles’ best summer programs.
