Cali Camp, a Los Angeles day camp nestled in Topanga Canyon, has announced its 2026 Open House schedule and summer camp season, providing families with early opportunities to explore the camp and secure spots for their children. 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, allowing prospective families to tour the property, meet staff, and participate in signature activities. No RSVP is required, making it easy for families to attend.
The 2026 summer season will run from June 15 through August 14, welcoming campers ages 4 to 15 to the scenic Santa Monica Mountains. Cali Camp offers a diverse activity lineup that includes swimming, arts and crafts, a ropes course, horseback riding, go-karts, zip lines, aerial arts, rock climbing, archery, gymnastics, dance, handball, and Ga-Ga. As a summer camp near Los Angeles, it positions itself as both an art and craft summer camp and an aerial arts camp, designed to help children grow, connect with nature, and unleash their creativity. The camp's philosophy is reflected in its description of the property: a place to roam streams, meadows, and oak trees, where campers can reclaim their connection to the environment.
In addition to its Classic Camp program, Cali Camp operates two specialty programs. Wrangler Camp, an equestrian-focused program for campers ages 8 to 14, is known to sell out quickly. The Junior Leaders program offers leadership training for 14- and 15-year-olds, providing older campers with valuable skills and experiences.
At each Open House, visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour, meet many staff members, learn about the programs, and try favorite activities such as handball, Ga-Ga, archery, ropes course, aerial arts, and gymnastics. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch to the grassy lawn or a table in the Shady Oak Quad, and the camp suggests allowing at least one hour for a visit. The camp is located at 1717 Old Topanga Canyon Rd., Topanga, CA 90290, and further details are available on the camp's website.
Established in 1955, Cali Camp has a long history of providing quality day camp experiences in the Santa Monica Mountains. With a staff boasting hundreds of years of combined experience, the camp welcomes campers ages 4 to 15 in its Classic Camp and specialty offerings, including Wrangler Camp and Junior Leaders.
