I had a client that relocate to OC, purchase a house through me and ask me for a list of the best Summer Camps for kids. They weren't looking for the day camps but the "going away for camp" experiences since both of the parents work technology jobs and don't have the luxury of taking time off.
I cam across information from MomsLA and thought i'd share it with you fine people.
