What We Are About
The Summer Opportunities Fair, hosted by Westridge School,
is a community service event that provides a venue for
parents and children to learn about summer programs.
The fair presents a wide range of local, national, international
camp opportunities and summer study opportunities for
boys and girls of all ages in academic and cultural enrichment,
outdoor adventure, sports, travel, day and board situations,
community service and volunteer programs, and programs
for children with special needs.
The fair, held on the Westridge campus, has earned the
reputation as one of the premier camp fairs in the nation.
A nationally recognized community service event, the fair
attracts thousands of families each year.
First offered to the community in 1991, the fair draws
visitors from Pasadena, the Greater Los Angeles area, and
the San Fernando Valley. This informative community service
event is free to the public and offers something for every
student and every family budget.
The camps and programs represented at the fair are independent
organizations that are not affiliated with Westridge School.
No endorsement by Westridge School concerning exhibitor
offerings is expressed or implied.
Special Needs Opportunities
A unique feature of the Summer Opportunities Fair is the
in-depth attention to Special Needs programs. The Special
Needs booth, located prominently at the fair, offers
many resources to parents who seek to enrich the lives
of their children.
Pediatricians and other who specialize in treating and
working with special needs children and their families
are available to speak with parents, free of charge.
The Summer Opportunities Fair Special Needs Catalog, developed,
researched, and updated annually, is a collaboration among
parent volunteers, Westridge students, and faculty. The
catalog provides comprehensive information on agencies
and programs designed to assist special needs children
and their families.
