Is there any cheap sleep away camps?

Sleep away camps in California?

• After watching The Parent Trap my 11 year old sister wants to go to sleep away camp.I was wondering do you know any in California.Preferably performing arts camps.If not that's ok.Also can it be under $750

• Answer:

  Camp Bravo is a really great sleep away camp in the San Bernardino National Forest. Unfortunately, I think the camp may have already happened for the pre-teens, but something to keep in mind for next summer. It's about $650 a week, $1200 for two weeks, which is a very reasonable price. The program is very high quality, the kids that go there are very talented and feel they learn a lot from the experience, many go back every summer for years. Camp Bravo http://www.campbravo.org Pali http://www.paliadventures.com/adventures/performing/acting-academy A fun camp, but it runs about $1600 a week. YMCA has summer resident camps, and also day camps, look at the website of the Y near you. Usually they won't have performing arts, but they will be fun. YMCA LA area resident camp info: http://www.ycampsla.org/Summer-Camp.html So Pas/SM day camp: http://www.ymcala.org/southpasadena/summer-day-camp The Y near you should have something similar. Look at the local community centers and city parks for day camps, some may have drama, and the cost is usually very low. LA Parks & Rec http://www.ci.la.ca.us/rap/dos/reccenter/reccenter.htm Click on the parks near you to see if they offer day camps. Camp Hollywoodland http://www.ci.la.ca.us/rap/dos/camps/hollywoodland.htm Download the brochure for info, it runs about $450 a week. They usually do some acting during the camp. Most kids acting schools have week long day camps, rather than the typical weekend classes, during the summer.
