Discovery Camp

This experiential camp gives campers the opportunity to explore the Bay Area such as hiking, climbing, tide pooling, garden visits, and paddle boarding.

Registration Opens Jan 2025

About Discovery Camp

Discovery camp is designed specifically with the 10-12 year-old in mind, with engaging and challenging new ways to explore the Bay Area. Activities may include hikes in regional parks, climbing at the SCRA ropes course, and paddle boarding to a beach picnic lunch. (This itinerary may vary depending on naturalist reservations with various regional parks, other opportunities and weather.)

Lifelong friendships develop in the close-knit groups with low camper to instructor ratios, and specialized curriculum plants the seeds of leadership development. Our full day course allows for a broad spectrum of regional adventures, often with multiple stops in a day.

We will provide leadership, transportation, and all entrance and use fees. All campers must have comfort with water. Families will be provided a schedule of the week’s activities on Monday evening.

Ages & Eligibility

Campers must be ages 10-12 on the first day of camp in order to register.
