A small boy who was attending a summer camp at King Gillette Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains has tragically passed away, and our hearts are broken by this news. There is no adequate way to convey the extent of our sadness. “Our hearts are with the family of the child, friends of the child, and all those who have been affected by this unimaginable tragedy,” the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority posted on its website.
