How to Find the Top Summer Camps and Los Angeles For Kids this  Year

You can look all over the Internet and ask 100 different friends to name the top summer camps in Los Angeles, and guess what? You might get 100 different answers!

That's because discovering the best of anything is typically a personal opinion.  If my teenage son loves hockey, and he's been going to the same hockey camp the past five years, he might say that camp's the best.  

But if your 12 year old daughter can't get enough of the beach and surf camp she's attended the past few years here in L.A., you might feel THAT'S the best.

And the truth is, both camps might very well BE the best for our respective families. :)

This is a good lesson for all of us. Even though there's many good lists and articles online for how to find the best summer camps in Los Angeles or elsewhere, nothing can take the place of your (and your child's) experiences and opinions. Some summer camps just "feel right" to you, and therefore those camps are often "the best."

Now even though you may already be attached to another camp, there's still many other top summer camps in Los Angeles waiting to be discovered. Should you care to research some of the best camps, here's a few links with related information:

•Redtri.com - Our Picks for the Best Kids Summer Camps in Los Angeles for Preschoolers
•CBS Local - Best Summer Day Camps in L.A. for Teens

As you peruse the above lists, you may notice some of the same camps appearing over and over again. That's not a coincidence! In many case such camps have solid, established reputations as the top summer camps in L.A.

Rest assured you can't go wrong picking one! :)
