Our two-week day camps are designed to give children in-depth experiences in our urban environment and local national park. Camp hours are 9 am–4 pm and run from June 11–Aug. 3. Optional Extended Care is available from 8–8:50 am and 4–5:30 pm.

Through a rich combination of outdoor investigation, field outings, and fun hands-on projects, campers learn about important ecological concepts and issues. Check out camp descriptions below to see what your camper will be up to this summer!

Things with Wings for Grades 1–2

Look in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s...a seed??? Lots of things fly through the air with the greatest of ease and, in this camp, you’ll learn why and how. Among the many activities, you’ll meet live buzzing insects, learn how bats use radar to navigate, and create your own winged costume!

Wildlife Wonders for Grades 1–2

From sea stars on the pier to raccoons in the bushes, you'll be amazed by all the creatures that make their home in the park. Dig in the marsh mud to find wiggly worms, look for crabs along the shore and discover all the creatures great and small that call the park home.

Enviromaniacs for Grades 3–5

Are you crazy about the environment? Are you wild about your national parks? Become an Enviromaniac! We’ll find out it’s easy being green by making yummy smoothies blended by kid power, compete in a parkwide scavenger hunt, and create wacky video projects. Enviromaniacs better the world and have a blast doing it! 

Archi-Techies for Grades 3–5

Calling all young designers! If you love to build and invent, this camp is for you! This year Archi Techies will have a special focus on the Golden Gate Bridge. Build a model bridge from recycled materials, learn to harness the power of the sun to create your own wacky invention, and design a digital city where you reign supreme in a sustainable kingdom.

Junior Rangers on Patrol for Grades 5–6

From the infamous cell blocks of Alcatraz to the primeval forests of Muir Woods, there’s an adventure around every corner in the Golden Gate National Parks. You’ll head out to a different park site every day, culminating with a night of sleeping under the stars and eating s’mores at an overnight camping trip in the Presidio. At the closing ceremony, all campers will be sworn in as official Junior Rangers. Check out this map to see all the places Junior Rangers go!
