Summer Camps & Summer Schools, 2021Hello, I'm a parent, and my list of summer camps and Summer Schools near Culver City, the Westside of Los Angeles (and more) has been growing! I thought that I'd share it with you.
The camps are for kids, youth and teens ranging from baby to 12th grade. There's a healthy mix of just about every kind of summer camp or summer school your child might be looking for. The categories aren't perfect, and there's some cross-over. Have fun looking! Tips from other parents: Don't let camp prices get you down. Some camps offer scholarships or need-based discounts, and there are plenty of great enrichment camps through Parks & Recreation, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, etc. Do you have a favorite camp? Please feel free to contact me with any additions. UPDATE: I compiled this list before Covid-19 shut down Los Angeles. Some of the camps listed are not currently operating but others transitioned into a Los Angeles County-approved formation. Please check with the camps to see what their plans are. New online camps have also cropped up. I'll do my best to add them as well. Stay safe, healthy, and have a wonderful summer! |
