Palos Verdes homes owners are finding that local summer camps are filling up fast. With schools getting out in just weeks, this is a great time for parents to find fun new activities your child might want to experience. I have added a few new local camps that are still available.
Camp Have-A-Blast – Summer Camp offers an exhilarating blend of outdoor adventures, creative expression, and immersive gaming experiences. This camp will have all campers fostering teamwork, leadership, and a love for the outdoors. This camp is powered by the companies that have been rocking birthday parties for the last 5 years, Battle Party LA and Game Truck LA and will provides a unique opportunity for kids to engage in Nerf Battles, GelTag Battles, Laser Tag Battles, and video games while promoting a healthy balance between screen time and physical activity. Camp Have-A-Blast promises a summer filled with fun, friendship, and lifelong memories. The camp fees are $450 Rolling Hills Estates residents/ $495 Non-residents (per week of camp). Camp will go from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and is open to ages 7 to 14 years. Camp will be available July 8 – July 11, July 15 – July 18, August 5 – August 8, and August 12 – August 15, 2024.
