Camp Panthers and Pilgrim School

Camp Panthers is the best kept summer secret in Los Angeles. If you're looking for an enriching and exciting summer camp experience in the heart of the city, look no further. Camp Panthers integrates all of the adventures, spirit, creativity and energy your kids love at summer camp with academic instruction that meets your child where they're at. Pilgrim School faculty members are there to help your children avoid the summer slide and approach the next school year ready to rise.

Pilgrim School, established in 1958, is a leading co-ed independent school in Los Angeles, educating students from 18-months through 12th grade.

Pilgrim’s welcoming and inclusive community is designed to enrich and support its students’ learning and growth inside and outside of the classroom. Extracurricular activities and programs, community service, and “no-cut” athletic program policy mean that your child feels free to explore many different activities and discover their passions.

Located in the heart of Los Angeles’ Koreatown, its student body truly reflects the city’s rich diversity. The boarding program at The Mayflower House adds international and local boarding students to its community, allowing us to share and celebrate all different cultures. And beyond the beautiful campus, students can explore the city itself as an extension of the classroom. From The California Science Center, Disney Music Hall, and MoCA downtown to the beaches out west and the mountains to our east, Pilgrim students take full advantage of the many urban resources of Los Angeles, as well as the beautiful nature of southern California.

Students become lifelong and joyful learners. Their intellectual curiosity and academic discipline have led them to find the colleges that best suit them, including some of the world’s top colleges, universities, and art schools. Alumni speak of lasting friendships forged at Pilgrim, both with other students and with teachers and staff. The supportive environment that defines the school, where deep, personal connections are made, allows Pilgrim students to feel confident in expressing themselves in all aspects of their lives. It is the kind of formative experience, nurturing self-confidence and ownership over their education, that alumni take with them to college and beyond.
