General Camp Reviews

• Year after year, my daughter loves Coastal Camp! She raves about all of it-- the hikes, the songs, the counselors, and the food. Thank you for all you do to make it so much fun!
  —Parent of 4th grader, San Francisco
  

• Absolutely the BEST camp in the area! Coastal Camp gets kids excited about being outdoors and learning about the area and environment they live in.
  —Parent of 1st grader, Mill Valley
  

• Coastal Camp is a superlative educational experience for my children and my family could not be more pleased. The strenght of the curriculum, excellent counselors and teachers, great materials, and a stunning classroom location - all conspire to create possibly the best of experiences. Virtually all elements of the week's experience have been carefully considered and the result is consistently positive. "I'm loving it - it's fun and I'm learning a ton!" - what every parent wants to hear from their young and impressionable child.
  —Parent of 2nd and 6th grader, Denver, CO
  

• Coastal Camp is unbelievably close to San Francisco but a world away from the noise, congestion, and pavement of the city. The natural setting of the Headlands Institute  leaves an indeliable impression. Your programs offer city kids a wonderful opportunity to learn about our environment and why it's important to protect it.
  —Parent of 4th grader, San Francisco
  

• Coastal Camp is a unique place where children are immersed in both science and nature while building friendships and learning about ecology. It seems the sessions cater very well to each age group so that everyone is able to get something out of it.
  —Parent of 1st grader, San Francisco
  

• I was amazed at the amount of information my son learned at Coastal Camp. He not only learned the concepts behind a lot of science being taught, he learned the appropriate terminology to express what he was talking about. And he had such fun doing it!
  —Parent of 2nd grader, San Rafael
  

Camp Staff Reviews

• The first and foremost thing we appreciate about Coastal Camp is the quality of the staff, from Ally and the administrative staff to the counselors. It was such a joy to bring my daughter to Coastal Camp every day and be greeted with positive energy and enthusiasm. We feel a great deal of affection toward all of you for providing such a rich, meaningful, human, warm, and fun summer camp experience.
  — Parent of 3rd grader, San Francisco
  

• I spoke several times to staff that helped me with the shuttle, extended care sign-up, and getting us ready for camp. Staff both emailed and called me when I was out of town traveling the week before camp! Professional, efficient, and warm!
  — Parent of 4th grader, Larkspur
  

• Great staff. Great energy. It is not just a place for kids to be looked after-they are nurtured and enriched!
  — Parent of 3rd grader, Mill Valley

• My son really loved the food. Thank you for providing such well-balanced, appealing meals and snacks. 
  —Parent of 1st grader, San Francisco

• I loved not having to worry about packing a lunch and yet knowing that Sofia was getting the same type of snacks and lunch she normally would at home. THANK YOU!
  —Parent of 4th grader, Kentfield
  

• Both healthy and yummy! Really happy I got a break from making lunches!
