water and boat summer campReal camp adventure

What’s better than playing in the water in the summer heat? This week is all about water. We take our traditional umiak boat on the water to learn safe boating skills*. Each excursion is about confidence and competency on the water.

Field trip locations this week include Angel Island, Muir Beach, Cascade Water fall and Samuel P.Taylor park

We go fishing and we also look in bushes and brushes, puddles and pond, for frogs and newts, while learning what makes amphibians and bugs special and the differences between them all.

Campers learn to be gentle with bugs while gaining the skills of simple macro photography to take SUPER cool pictures. We also cover the folklore and science of weather predication and what amphibians and bugs have been known to tell us about clouds and rain.

Mobile Camps visit the farms, beaches and wild spots of Marin. There are so many amazing places to explore in Marin. From beaches to farms our mobile camps take kids to places they would go if they could drive.

Our Philosophy for Learning & Living

A Smile

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess
