What is a Specialty Summer Camp?
In contrast to general camp programs which typically feature a wide range of camp activities, specialty camps focus on a single theme or activity to accommodate campers with specific interests.
|
For example, if your child wants to be the next Michael Jordan or Lisa Leslie, a basketball specialty camp would be right up their alley. Or if your kids are beach bunnies, there's many beach or surf camp opportunities they can choose from. Moreover, the camp counselors working at specialty summer camps generally possess highly specialized training, certifications and skill sets enabling them to impart their knowledge to campers in a high confidence way while giving parents peace of mind their kids are learning from the qualified staff. There really is no limit as to the kinds of specialty summer camps available in L.A.
|
|
Pro Tip: Specialty camps are ideal for campers who want to learn or develop specific skills or concentrate on a certain activity at camp. You will find many specialty summer camp listings further down this page, but for a more complete list, search our new Los Angeles Summer Camp Directory today!
