CHILDREN AND FAMILY PROGRAMS

Crissy Field Center's award winning children, family, and camp programs are designed to bring youth and families out into their national park and experience the connections between the urban and natural environments.

Special Events feature favorites like community campfires, ranger-led field hikes, programs en español, and our annual family festival Earth Stroll.

Our Day Camps combine outdoor investigation, field outings, and fun hands-on projects for kids entering grades 1 through 8. Youth entering grades 9 through 12 can continue their camp experience by leading and mentoring high school youth as Counselors in Training (CITs).
