How (and Where) to Find the Best Los Angeles Summer Program for Your Child this Year
If you're like us, you see immense value in the camp experience and the positive impact it has on kids. Every child should be afforded the opportunity to go to camp!
|
Whether you've already narrowed down your best summer camp choices, or just beginning your summer camp search, you already know it will take some time and research on your part to find the program that suits your child best. Just like with any major purchase or decision you make, you need to do enough due diligence so you're confident you've done your part to ensure your child has a happy camp experience. Since camp is a often a "home away from home" for many kids, once they find "their" camp they will want to return year after year.
On the other hand, lack of research -- and sending your child to camp sight unseen -- can potentially create a poorly matched experience and you could have a very unhappy camper on your hands quickly. |
