About us
The Laurel Foundation is a registered, non-profit organization founded in 1992 by Margot Andrew-Anderson. Committed to improving the lives of children living with HIV and AIDS, transgender youth and other at-risk youth populations. We believe that every child has the right to experience the wonder of childhood. Through our programs we strive to contribute to the development of each child’s self esteem, self awareness and self fulfillment. The Laurel Foundation, accredited by the American Camp Association, uses trained leadership and the resources of the natural surrounding to contribute to each camper’s mental, social and spiritual growth. The first camp of our kind in Southern California, Camp Laurel is free to all children across the country ages 6-17. The Laurel Foundation is named for the laurel leaf in Greek mythology. Apollo, the god of prophecy, poetry, and healing, covered his temple in Delphi with the laurel leaf, believing that the healing properties of the leaf would cure all those who entered his temple.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! 🌟 The Laurel Foundation is committed to improving the mental health of our youth. Let's come together to support one another and raise awareness about mental health. It's essential to take care of our minds just as much as our bodies. Check-in on your loved ones, listen without judgment, and offer a helping hand. Remember, it's okay to ask for help, and you are not alone. Together, we can break the stigma and create a world where mental health is a priority. 💚 #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #BreakTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone

Can you help us find a space to house our camp program equipment? We need a donated space to put our medical supplies, camp equipment, program equipment, arts and crafts, games, and our favorite pool toys, like the Unicorn below. Our wonderful donor for many years is closing their storage/warehouse business so we need to move. If you have anyone who has some extra space available, please have them call the office at 626-683-0800. Thank you!
