CAMP, THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE COMPANY, OPENS LOS ANGELES FLAGSHIP STORE AT WESTFIELD CENTURY CITY

CAMP's First West Coast Location Opens Its 'Magic Door' To Angelenos on Saturday, April 23rd

NEW YORK, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CAMP, the East Coast family favorite that has reimagined the retail experience, is opening its first flagship store in Los Angeles as part of its national expansion. Part toy store, part activity destination, and all good vibes, CAMP helps families answer the question, "What should we do today?" The retailer is bringing its unique combination of play, product and programming to LA families; this new Century City location will be CAMP's 9th store and the first of many on the West Coast.

Opening on April 23rd, this 7,000 square foot location will feature a curated 'Canteen' where families will shop for their favorite toys, gifts, books and accessories for all ages. Here, guests will discover CAMP's signature 'Magic Door,' a speakeasy-style pivoting wall that leads to interactive themed experiences that change seasonally. CAMP will open with its signature theme, Base CAMP, an immersive summer camp-themed experience where kids will go from cabin to cabin, enjoying signature arts & crafts, sports, dance, theater, friendship and fun!

"When we open new locations we are doing more than just opening a store, we are entering a new community. Families have very few places that become part of their routine where they can have fun, escape, and build memories together." said Ben Kaufman, CAMP's Founder and CEO. "Los Angeles has been at the top of our wish list for several years, and we are incredibly excited to build our community on the West Coast." 

CAMP has also partnered with Barbie® and RVshare to create one-of-a-kind experiences designed specifically for our LA community, from an in-store Barbie® themed disco cabin to a cool interactive RV campsite. Visitors of all ages are invited to take part in camping-themed play and nature activities, such as RV-inspired activity books, showcasing the wonders of hitting the open road for summertime family vacations. CAMP will host free themed activities in partnership with Barbie®, RVshare and Visit California at launch. Families can sign up to participate starting April 20th.

To kick things off on April 14th, families can enter a sweepstakes on camp.com for a chance to win a weekend camping trip in a decked-out RV, inspired by the Barbie® DreamCamper™, in partnership with RVshare, the leading peer-to-peer RV rental platform. The winning family will also receive a prize package from Barbie®, RVshare, and CAMP which includes a Barbie® bike from Dynacraft, a (doll-sized) DreamCamper™ and more!
