Find a Great Woodland Hills Program for Your Kids this Summer
Woodland Hills kids and teens may not have enjoyed a typical camp experience in recent summers due to COVID-19. After all, the pandemic forced many camps to temporarily close if not shut down altogether. Never fear, though - many of the best Woodland Hills summer camps are back and ready to deliver a fantastic camp experience to your kids for summer 2024.

The Woodland Hills summer camps listed below are categorized alphabetically. Moreover, not all of the camps included here are based in Woodland Hills proper. They may instead be located near the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, or the general vicinity, and/or perhaps serve kids who live in Woodland Hills or the surrounding area with camp-sponsored transportation services And even if you don't live in Woodland Hills itself, it doesn't mean your camper can't attend one of these fantastic programs...because they can!
We hope your child has a wonderful time at camp this summer. It certainly appears they will, since we finally appear to have returned to some degree of normalcy for summer 2025 now that COVID is behind us. If you are aware of a Woodland Hills-based summer camp or one that serves Woodland Hills kids that is not on this list, please let us know so we can add it. |
