DTLA Summer Camp

Returns Each Wednesday, July 15 - 29, 2026

Who says kids get to have all the summer fun? Back by popular demand, DTLA Summer Camp invites Downtown employees to relive their best days of summer break.

For three weeks in July, the DTLA Alliance will host nostalgic lunchtime activities, from friendship bracelet making and archery to water balloon tosses and basketball free throws.

Each day ends with happy hour hangouts featuring trivia, games, and snacks. Plus, Campers are encouraged to complete a Summer Camp passport for a chance to win additional prizes.

Join the Fun

This event's for DTLA employees only! Sign-ups will be announced in The 9-to-5ish newsletter, so make sure you’re on the list.
