Surrounded by stunning coastal landscapes, every day at Coastal Camp is an opportunity for adventure and discovery. Campers engage their curious minds and boundless energy by exploring and investigating the natural world.
Weeklong day camp sessions include lunch and a camp T-shirt (limit one per camper). Campers are grouped by their fall 2016 grade level.
Calling all Biologists! Explore the Marin Headlands from sea to summit, as you hike the hills and investigate the valley below. Share with your friends how to identify native plants and discover which animals call the Headlands their home. Become a botanist for the day by taking a plant sample into the lab to find out what lies inside. Use binoculars to observe animals in the wild, peer into powerful microscopes to identify the tiny critters you collect from the pond, and examine animal specimens in the Skins & Skulls lab. Later in the week, visitors from WildCare will bring live birds for a feather-filled show and tell.
