The City of La Habra's recent council meeting highlighted a series of community events and programs aimed at engaging residents throughout the summer. The discussions emphasized the importance of recreational activities for families and youth, showcasing the city's commitment to fostering community spirit and providing accessible entertainment options.
One of the key announcements was the launch of the La Habra Active Day Camp, which runs from June 2 to August 8.
