Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

Pacific Conservatory has generously offered to give away a Plum District voucher for a free week of DiscoveryARTS summer camp (a special deal running right now for $199 on Plum District) so if you have a child in between the ages of 3 and 12 interested in music, art and drama, enter below!

First of all, finding great OC summer camps for kids that can accommodate children of this age range is a challenge in itself.  Believe me, I know because I have been searching for camps to send my 3 and 6 year old this summer, and many don’t take the littler ones. That’s why I was super excited to see this one offered by Pacific Conservatory!

This camp is for one week, Monday – Friday from 9am – 2pm. Younger kids will explore the arts through games, projects and dress-up, while older kids produce scenes from favorite musical theater shows based on weekly themes. At the end of the week, your little star will shine on stage at a special show for the parents on Friday. Click HERE to see the list of shows each week.

Click HERE to buy this deal on Plum District now (one week for $199 – a $275 value).

Does your child have a passion for fashion? A fashionista in the making? Well, then do I have the place for her!

Fashion Camp OC is a unique hands-on learning experience outside of the classroom for those interested in fashion and design.

They offer classes, birthday parties, private parties and week long camps in their unique space in The OC Mart MIX.  We heart the MIX big time.

Their Winter Break Camp coming up this month so I wanted to share the details.  If you register this WEEK, by 12/17/11, you can get 15% off the Winter Camp price with promo code “Tiny Oranges”! Wouldn’t this make a great holiday gift idea?

When I went to The OC Mart MIX for the first time a couple months ago, we saw the Fashion Camp OC facility and met the owner, Erin Bianchi.

While speaking with Erin, her love for fashion and teaching was so evident. I loved that while the camps are focused on the skill of design and fashion, there is also an emphasis on confidence and learning how to express yourself and your unique personality through fashion.

For young girls, I think this is so important! Even though my little girl is too
young now, I keep thinking how much she would LOVE this camp. Someday…

Today is my birthday (woo hoo) so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with one of my favorite giveaways – a week of Team OC Winter Camp 2011!

I know it is hard to wrap your head around the fact that before we know it the kids will be out of school for the holiday break.  If your kids are like mine and crave activities, this break can make for two very long weeks!

Team OC winter camp is the perfect opportunity for your child to have a blast when school is out and burn off some major energy with their plethora of fun activities.

The winter camp days are a combination of gymnastics, cheer, dance, trampoline, sports activities, arts and crafts, games, rockwall, zipline, and the AMAZING INDOOR BOUNCE HOUSE!

My daughter went last year and absolutely loved it and she will be going again this year too (hooray!)
