Ah, summer camp.
Especially summer camp where you spend your days on the beach and your nights stargazing and bunking with friends. On Catalina Island.
There is just nothing like it.
We are huge believers in the value of the camp experience for kids and have an AMAZING giveaway.
In fact, this may very well be the coolest giveaway we’ve ever done.
Catalina Islands Camps, located off the coast of Southern California, is one of the country’s best overnight summer programs. CIC offers campers entering grades 2 through 11 the opportunity to develop life long skills through fun and unique outdoor experiences in a community that cultivates respect for self, others and the environment.
Not only is this camp located on a private beachfront in Catalina, but the activities are just pure awesome.
Look at just some of great activities for kids:
Climbing Wall
High Ropes Course
Outdoor Cooking
Archery & Riflery
Wakeboarding
Sailing
Tubing
Kayaking
Stand-up Paddle Boards
And the list goes on.
Owned and operated by Tom and Maria Horner, Catalina Island Camps offers a camp experience that builds self-confidence and resiliency and develops skills that will help campers feel a sense of achievement and pride of accomplishment. Providing a safe and healthy environment, CIC offers an incredible summer experience.
Want to learn more? Check out their virtual tour, activities page and information on health and safety. You can download a brochure too.
Now for the AMAZING part….
Do you know of a child/tween/teen that would love attend a session {choice of June 18 to June 25 or June 25 to July 9} at this incredible summer camp? Could be your own child, niece, nephew, student, neighbor, etc.
We thought so.
Oh, and guess what else?
Not only will one lucky kid become a CIC camper, but they will get to take a friend with them . That’s right, both kids will get a complimentary session at CIC.
Awesome right?
Here are the details you need:
1) Write a post using the following prompt and post it on your blog between now and February 19th:
Tell us about the child/tween/teen you think would love this amazing opportunity. Be sure to look around CatalinaIslandCamps.com and include specifics!
2) Include the following language in your post:

This is a great opportunity for my son. He has not been to the west coast. I know I am the first to comment there will be no chance of winning but I was over joyed jump into. Thank you so much for offering this chance. My son’s friend lives in VA but moves from CA. Even though my son lives in MA they will really enjoy the chance to spend time together and have some fun. Both being members of BSA they will really enjoy the outdoor activities.
