4 AbilityFirst Centers and a Halloween Dance!

We had a busy day at Paivika! Yesterday the Anaheim, Clairmont, Long Beach and Newport Mesa Centers brought kids up to enjoy a beautiful and sunny day at camp. The centers each got to do archery, horseback riding, and nature. Anaheim even got to join in in our all camp swim in the morning activity rotation!

Campers and staff showed their best moves on the dance floor last night at our Halloween dance!

Session 4 Fun

Session 4 started with a bang! Campers enjoyed a full day of program yesterday meeting the animals in nature, horseback riding, and practicing their archery skills!

Camp Paivika welcomed participants from the Clairmont, East LA, and Harry A Mier Centers yesterday to experience the "camp life!"

Campers finished off the day competing with their cabin groups in "Color Wars!"  Campers had to lasso bulls, throw some horse shoes, do a free throw,  and competed in an obstacle course.

 Make sure to come back tomorrow for more updates!
And keep checking the photo section, we put more up every day!

Hello from Paivika!

Yesterday was an amazing day filled with activities, scavenger hunts and a lot of laughs. Here are some pictures of your fun filled day.

day 1 session 2

Hello everyone, today is the first day of session 2 and it was a good one. We kicked it off with a carnival where we played games, ate cotton candy and got our faces painted.

Stay tuned for our scavenger hunt tomorrow!

Session 1

Session 1 was amazing! It went so fast.
We had a talent show, a casino night, a dance and we also camped out under the stars and watched Alice in Wonderland. It was incredible.
We are sad to see everyone go, but can't wait to see the start of session 2.

greetings from the campfire.

The past couple of days the staff at Paivika have been working away getting ready for camp. We start our orientation Saturday with our entire staff, then campers arrive on Monday! This is going to be an amazing summer with a lot of fun and exciting changes!
