For our campers in grades 1 - 2, Coastal Camp aims to promote a sense of place and help campers develop a personal appreciation for our natural world. 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 lunch, snacks and a camp T-shirt (limit one per camper). Campers are grouped by their fall 2024 grade level.
