CAMPS
Best Traditional Day Camp
Camp James
“The beautiful and unique location is actually the least remarkable thing about Camp James. While the location is gorgeous the true beauty is in its team. They curate a family of great counselors and the leadership that cares about each child! Camp James also supports neurodiverse kiddos in a way that is unique to Orange County. When my son attended camp there he felt safe, welcome, and included. He had experiences that will stay with him for a lifetime.”

Best Special Needs Camp
Tumble N’ Dots
“Tumble N’ Dots is not your average clinic. You can tell right away that they truly care about the kids and families they work with. My family has felt so supported there. The team brings so much experience, knowledge, and heart into everything they do. They offer so many different programs, and it feels like they really look at each child as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or therapy goal. The therapists are warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They make kids feel safe and understood, and they help parents feel less alone. The care they give shows in every part of the clinic.”

FAMILY FUN
Best Waterpark
Wild Rivers
I’ve been to a lot of water parks, and Wild Rivers is the one that feels like it has something for every mood—whether you want to spend the day chasing thrills on the big slides or just floating the lazy river with a drink in hand. It never feels like you’re running out of things to do, which is why every visit feels like a full-day experience instead of a few hours of entertainment.
