Question
I am interested in bringing together a group of under priviliged children together to learn about nature and LA's rich history.  Do you know if there are any camps in the LA are i could rent to accomplish this?

Answer
Doug,

I know of two camps in the Los Angeles area, both operated by Los Angeles Dept of Rec and Parks. The camps are located in Griffith Park, are located just a few minutes from downtown, yet both camps are secluded within the 4,000 acre park. Both are excellent facilities, and either one should serve you well. You can check out the web site at http://www.lacity.org/RAP/dos/camps/camps.htm or call them at 323-664-0571 (Griffith Park Boys Camp) or 323-467-7193 (Hollywoodland Girls Camp).

Hope this helps,

Expertise

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I`ve lived in the Valley, west side, east side, and South Bay, so I`m an expert on getting around town. I`m knowledgeable about all of the Southern California tourist attractions. I am also an expert on state beaches in Southern California, and have an expansive camping background. No relocation/moving questions, please.

Experience

I have lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm a "local", with expert knowledge of Southern California. I've done a lot of extensive traveling to NorCal, so I can provide answers about northern California as a visitor, and southern California as a local.

Education/Credentials
Not that this matters, but since it's required, I have a Bachelor's Degree. I also have a Master's Degree in the University of Life.
