Summer Camp
Kindergarten - 8th grade

Experience the Golden Gate National Parks in a new way, every day, at Crissy Field Center Summer Camp. Our one- and two-week day camps are designed to give children in-depth experiences in our urban environment and local national park. Through a rich combination of outdoor investigation, field outings, and fun hands-on projects, campers learn about important ecological concepts and issues.

Crissy Field Center's state-of-the-art learning environments, Science Lab, Arts Workshop, and Media Lab, serve as home base for these summer adventures. Campers get the best of both worlds as they investigate the outdoors and then roll up their sleeves in the Center's labs to create, imagine, and experiment. Exciting new camps are offered each session, don't miss this chance to spend a unique and unforgettable summer in your national park.
