For our campers in grades 3-4, Coastal Camp aims to promote a sense of place and appreciation for our natural world. Through adventure, fun, and learning, we empower environmental stewardship. Though each week of camp has a different theme, all campers can expect to hike, learn about the Marin Headlands’ ecosystem, play team-building games, make art and much more.
Weeklong day camp sessions include daily snacks and a Coastal Camp bandana (limit one per camper per summer). Campers are grouped by their fall 2025 grade level.
