Camp Kilpatrick is a juvenile detention camp located in the Santa Monica Mountains of western Los Angeles County, California. A member of the Freelance League, the camp is known for its sports program. Most notable is the camp's American football team, the Kilpatrick Mustangs. The 1993 Emmy Award-winning documentary film Gridiron Gang documents the team's 1990 season, and the 2006 film of the same name is loosely based on those events.[1] The Camp Kilpatrick athletics program was ended in August 2012.[2]
