The Jimmy Miller Foundation provides a unique Ocean Therapy experience for “at-promise” youth (formerly termed “at-risk”) in the Los Angeles area. The Ocean Therapy sessions couple group discussions with individual surfing instruction, body surfing, water safety education, and sometimes just sand castle building. Many of our at-promise participants have never been in the ocean before or even been to the beach in their lives! We love sharing these experiences with them!
At Happy Trails for Kids, while every story is different, our campers are connected by the bond of foster care - where often the joys of childhood have been stripped away. We understand precisely the importance of creating a year-round community where childhood is celebrated, friendships flourish and children have the opportunity to experience adventures and exploration.
Campers grow up with Happy Trails. Our motto is “once a camper, always a camper” and regardless of how many foster homes or other changing circumstances, our commitment to our campers is steadfast and resilient. Whether singing campfire songs, climbing a rock wall or participating in one of our monthly reunion events, our dedicated team of counselors, most of whom had personal experience in foster care, provide a circle of support, encouragement and inspiration.
