Cali Camp, a day camp located in Topanga Canyon and serving the Los Angeles area since 1955, has announced its 2026 Open House schedule and summer camp season. The camp will host four Open Houses from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on February 22, March 22, April 19, and May 17. Prospective families are invited to tour the property, meet staff, and participate in signature camp activities. No RSVP is required for these events.
The 2026 summer season will run from June 15 through August 14, welcoming campers ages 4 to 15 to the Santa Monica Mountains. As a summer camp near Los Angeles, Cali Camp offers a wide range of activities including swimming, arts and crafts, a ropes course, horseback riding, go-karts, zip lines, aerial arts, rock climbing, archery, gymnastics, dance, handball, and Ga-Ga. The camp positions itself as both an art and craft summer camp for kids in LA and an aerial arts camp for kids in Los Angeles, with programs designed to help children grow, connect with nature, and let their imaginations run.
According to the camp, the property is "a place to roam streams, meadows and oak trees," where "campers reclaim their connection to the environment and its springboard for their imaginations." Beyond the Classic Camp offering, Cali Camp operates two specialty programs. Wrangler Camp, an equestrian-focused program for campers ages 8 to 14, is a specialty camp that, according to the camp, sells out fast. The Junior Leaders program provides leadership training experiences for 14- and 15-year-olds.
At each Open House, visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour of the property, meet many of the camp's staff, learn about the program, and enjoy favorite Cali Camp activities such as handball, Ga-Ga, archery, ropes course, aerial arts, and gymnastics. Families are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to the grassy lawn or a lunch table in the Shady Oak Quad. The camp suggests allowing at least one hour for a visit.
Cali Camp is located at 1717 Old Topanga Canyon Rd., Topanga, CA 90290. Registration and additional program details are available on the camp's website. Established in 1955, Cali Camp is a Los Angeles day camp located in Topanga Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains. Cali Camp welcomes campers ages 4 to 15 and is supported by a staff with hundreds of years of combined camp experience. Programs include Classic Camp and specialty offerings such as Wrangler Camp for horse lovers and Junior Leaders for older campers seeking leadership training.
