Tell us about Camp Have-A-Blast.
There was nothing more important than fighting imaginary battles and playing video games with my friends during my summers as a kid. It’s all I cared about. Camp Have-A-BLAST is the summer camp I would have DIED to be when I was a kid, but it didn’t exist. Never in my wildest dreams could I picture playing these games for real with hundreds of other kids on such a large & immersive scale! We’re lucky enough to have never grown up and started two companies (Battle Party LA & Game Truck LA) that are uniquely situated to provide such an incredible safe and fun experience to kids in Los Angeles. Nerf, Gel Blasters, Laser Tag, and Video Games…what’s better than that??
What inspired you to launch Camp Have-A-Blast?
Honestly, it’s the getting to relive my childhood every day while giving these kids an opportunity to experience theirs. Kids grow up so fast these days and rarely have the chance to just imagine, play, and be a kid. Also, reinforcing the important balance of outdoor play with screen time is critical. Screens aren’t bad, in fact, they’re an indispensable part of our culture, but balancing that with physical activity and imaginative play is crucial to a healthy childhood and a strong mind.
What is one of your proudest moments?
Creating this camp for the SouthBay and the rest of LA has been a huge joy. We love spreading the joy of games, gaming, and outdoor activities!
