A group of children affected by recent wildfires in Altadena has found a sense of normalcy and routine at disaster pop-up camps, including Project:Camp. These camps offer free child care to families who have been displaced or impacted by the fires, providing a safe space for children to play and interact with others. The goal is to maintain a sense of structure for these young individuals whose lives have been upended by the destruction caused by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
Organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA, and Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation are also stepping in to offer free child care options for families in need. In addition, local businesses, preschools, and families are creating temporary child care solutions to support those affected by the fires. The focus is on providing stability and comfort for children during a time of uncertainty and change. By establishing routines and offering engaging activities, these initiatives aim to help children cope with the aftermath of the wildfires.
