The Whole Family Can Go Back to Camp

The city of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks is offering a series of weekend experiences at Camp Hollywoodland that will do little damage to the family budget. All the prices include meals, lodging, activities and supervision. You are asked, however, to bring your own bedding.

The camp facilities are excellent. If you want to check them out, just drive up and see for yourself.

These programs will run until the summer sessions begin:
