Overview

Are you ready for this 5-day excursion? From the infamous island of Alcatraz to the peaceful forest of Muir Woods, there’s an adventure around every corner! Participants visit several park sites within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco and Marin Counties to learn the ranger mindset of public service through the following themes: Learn, Explore, and Protect. Campers then reflect on how to apply this mindset to life at home. Junior Rangers spend one night sleeping under the stars at Rob Hill Campground, and they work on a special presentation for the closing ceremony, where they also receive official badges!

Financial assistance

Crissy Field Center Summer Camp is dedicated to providing opportunities for all Bay Area youth. If your child receives free or reduced lunch at school, you automatically qualify for financial aid in the form of a full or a half-discounted scholarship. Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and applications are accepted on a rolling basis until camps fill. You will be notified of your eligibility after submitting a scholarship registration form. Please see the Junior Rangers North Scholarship page if you believe your camper qualifies for a full or half-priced scholarship.
