Overview

The Presidio is a place of rich natural and cultural history. In this playful and creative inquiry-based outdoor camp, campers learn to develop their observational and collaborative skills. Campers also work together to address problems relevant to themselves and to the parks. Participants go on daily excursions into different areas of the Presidio, meeting Park Rangers and exploring the park’s biodiversity along the way.


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 Presidio Trekkers II Scholarship page if you believe your camper qualifies for a full or half-priced scholarship.

  • $25 processing fee for each full-priced cancellation
  • $35 scholarship registration fee is non-refundable, regardless of reason for cancellation

  • In the case that a camp does not fill, Crissy Field Center reserves the right to cancel the session and issue a full refund.

It was a really nice experience for my daughter it was the first time being there and she was nervous but as soon she spend the day at camp she was really happy and exited because she made friends and teachers were really nice. It was a great summer camp week. She love it.

This camp was absolutely amazing! My son has some difficulties with socializing, but the staff here were incredible and very understanding and inclusive. My son came home and told me what he learned on his nature walks, and was excited to share his day. I would sign my son up again in a heartbeat. This camp is worth it!
