Camp Heroes
Every summer, this camp runs on community. Time, trucks, kayaks, lettuce, coins, wisdom, space to sleep, space in a walk-in fridge. It all adds up. Camp like this does not happen by accident. It happens because people care.
We are deeply grateful to the people and organizations who show up for our kids:
Aenor Sawyer and Melinda Griffith for once again sending us out on the water with their generous kayak donations.
Susie Buell for 25 years of gifting us overnights on the banks of the beautiful Bolinas Lagoon waters enjoyed mightily by our campers, staff and parents!
Roberto Garcia and Ben Lowrance for their continued dedication and joy in providing transport to all the places we are so happy to go!
Keith Hanson for sharing his enthusiasm and deep knowledge of birds with us and for his continued donation of West Marin Coins to our scholarship fund!

Help Us Keep Camp Accessible
Every scholarship, every kayak trip, every overnight under the stars happens because people step up.
If you believe kids deserve salt air, scraped knees, new skills, and a place where they belong, consider making a donation. Your support goes directly toward scholarships, staff training, and the simple, essential things that make camp run safely and smoothly.
Whether it is a one-time gift or ongoing support, it makes a real difference for local families.
Give what you can. Help a kid get to camp.
