Families flock to El Segundo egg hunt and camp expo
Summary
El Segundo's annual egg hunt and accompanying camp expo drew large crowds, with organizers hiding nearly 10,000 eggs, hosting about 15 camp exhibitors and adding a new bunny scavenger hunt aimed at young children.
Tolly Anderson, a reporter for Elle Gunnar Media, said families gathered in El Segundo for the city's annual Easter egg hunt and camp expo, where organizers hid nearly 10,000 eggs and about 15 summer camp exhibitors showcased programs. The event included a new bunny scavenger hunt with seven hidden bunnies and ran multiple age-group egg hunts, including an under‑2 category.
The gathering served as both a holiday celebration and a chance for parents to explore summer activities. "We try to go all over the South Bay for all the different events that we can find," an attendee said, describing why they came. Organizers said a few hundred children were expected for the scavenger- and egg-hunt activities and that thousands of people and hundreds of kids came out to see the Easter bunny and participate in festivities.
The camp expo component, added a few years ago, returned this season with roughly 15 exhibitors showcasing summer offerings. The new bunny scavenger hunt placed seven costumed bunnies around the park; participants who found all seven could visit the information booth to claim a prize. Organizers described the scavenger hunt as a complement to the traditional egg hunts rather than a replacement.
Children participating voiced excitement during the under‑2 hunt. "I'm gonna grab 50 eggs," one child shouted during the event; another said, "Easter means the Easter bunny coming to my house, giving stuff to me, like chocolate, candy, jelly beans, and toys." Parents and attendees described the event as a kickoff to spring community activities in the South Bay.
Event staff and volunteers ran multiple age-group starts and managed prize distribution at the information booth. The day's activities also included family social time and informal networking between parents and camp representatives. For Elle Gunnar Media, Tolly Anderson reported from the event.
