Late August Summer Camps in Pasadena+
Vacation is over, and work is revving up, and your child’s school doesn’t start until the last week of August. Many camps wrap up by early to mid-August, leaving you scrambling for one more week of childcare and fun before the school year begins.
I completely understand, and I have done the unscrambling for you. There are still several fantastic camps in the Pasadena+ area that keep the summer adventure going through August 17–21 or later. Whether your child loves sports, music, cooking, theater, or hands-on creativity, there are options.
Many of these camps have limited space remaining for their last session, so if one catches your eye, be sure to register soon.
The MILC List is always working hard to provide busy parents with the most up-to-date information.
