A Photo Essay by Palisadian-Post Staff Photographer Rich Schmitt
There is a reason why at the start of every summer 14 million young Americans fan out to 14,000 sports, science and beach camps across the nation. They test their own limits, make lifelong friends and celebrate being young for such a brief and wondrous time.
Over recent weeks, Staff Photographer Rich Schmitt has been invited to many of the most beloved camps in and around Pacific Palisades to witness young Palisadians at their prime of “kid-ness.”
These are pictures which do not need words.
They were taken at Perfect Day Surf Camp, Learn To Surf Camp, LA Clippers Basketball Camp, Sportsmania Summer Camp, Gerry Blanck Summer Camp, Fitness By The Sea, ATAM Summer Camp, Jr. Lifeguards, Sandy Day Beach Camp, Iverbe Sports Camp, Pali Tennis Center Camp and Sinjin Smith Volleyball Camp.
Rich promises there will be more images next week.
