Make this summer incredible. At Great Park, we are offering week-long summer camps that are sure to spark your child’s imagination, foster critical thinking skills, and promote opportunities to play harder and become stronger. Summer camps at Great Park are an opportunity for your child to make friends and learn something new. We’re offering the following camps beginning June 5 and concluding August 18:
- Great Park Learn & Play Camps: This camp combines physical and mental activities. In the mornings, kids will grab a tennis racket enjoy learning to play tennis, and afternoons will consist of fun brainstorming activities.
- Great Park Brainstorm Camps: Kids can build with LEGO or engineer a virtual world based on new, unique themes each day.
Your child will have an unforgettable adventure this summer — whether they are creating a new invention or rallying like the pros in tennis. To learn more about summer camps at Great Park and to register, visit yourgreatpark.org/camps.

Share Your Thoughts on Irvine Council Voting
The City of Irvine is pursuing its first City Council district formation process. Residents can get involved by attending public hearings and community workshops, sharing their thoughts on communities that should be kept together in a single district, submitting a map of proposed district lines, and eventually providing feedback on other draft maps drawn by the community and National Demographics Corporation, the City’s professional demographer.
We hope you will join at our community workshops on the district formation process.
- May 9 at 6 p.m. – City of Irvine Council Chamber
There are also two community workshops being held in May.
- May 13 at 3 p.m. – South Coast Chinese Cultural Center, 9 Truman St.
