What is a Camp Fair?
|
Perhaps you're familiar with traditional Camp Fairs, where dozens of camps and programs gather in one place to showcase their programs for the upcoming summer, and where parents, children and families use this opportunity to meet the camp exhibitors, interact with camp representatives, ask questions, collect free brochures, and learn about the different program opportunities for the upcoming summer. Traditional Camp Fairs usually take place in gymnasiums, banquet halls, or auditoriums where camp exhibitors are stationed side-by-side in booth-like settings similar to a wedding expo or boat show you might be familiar with. With literally dozens of camps and programs on display under one roof, attending a Camp Fair is the easiest and most convenient way for parents to find a great camp for their kids in 2022. When you go to a camp fair, its literally a "one stop shop" for finding the ideal camp with so many programs being featured in one place.

We Prefer In-Person Camps. Is the Virtual Camp Fair Only to Find Virtual Ones?
Not at all! While many camps and programs may offer virtual program options, the vast majority of camp exhibitors on vCampFair.com are running traditional, in-person summer programs for your kids this year. We're just featuring them all here in one place to make finding in-person camps easier and more convenient for you. With vCampFair.com's online camp fair events, your ideal camp is literally at your fingertips!
When Does the Camp Fair Take Place?
vCampFair.com is hosting several live online camp fairs in 2022. Our next event covers the Los Angeles market. If you're a parent looking for a summer camp in the L.A. area, you can't afford to miss this free virtual camp fair event:
- Los Angeles Virtual Camp Fair: Tuesday night, March 15, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Is This Event Only for Los Angeles Camps?
Nope! A better way to think of the camp fair is that it's only for Los Angeles families. A good percentage of the exhibiting camps are located in the Los Angeles area. But there will be many other camps and program vendors -- especially overnight camps -- from out of town. If you live in Los Angeles and you're looking for a summer camp, you will find many local camps and programs near you plus others based elsewhere who serve Los Angeles kids.

Each camp exhibitor currently has a full-page profile listing on vCampFair.com. But when the Camp Fairs start, each camp's profile page will magically transform into a fully interactive virtual camp fair booth. That's when the real fun begins!
