Coastal Camp at Headlands Institute
A Day at Camp
Every day at Coastal Camp is a special experience, full of fun activities, delicious lunches, and visits with our partner organizations.
The kids came home (reluctantly!) every day extolling the wonders of Coastal Camp, their awesome counselors, the amazing friends they made and their renewed love for the Headlands coast.
—Bonnie from San Rafael, parent of 2nd and 4th grade campers

A Day at Coastal Camp
10:05 a.m. Riley, age 11, and her camp group just finished a morning hike along coastal trails and arrived at Point Bonita Lighthouse. Along the way they spied pelicans above and harbor seals swimming in the waves below.
11:30 a.m. Campers grades 1 to 6 get up close to sea stars, urchins, and anemones in the marine lab. Later during a seaweed smorgasbord, they'll be amazed to learn ocean plants can be used to make ice cream and chocolate milk!
12:26 p.m. Jayne and Ruth, both age 6, take a break to
enjoy their healthy lunches prepared fresh daily by Headlands Institute
chefs. Back on campus they serve their leftovers to the worms in the
compost bin.
2:35 p.m. During an afternoon art activity, campers experiment with natural fruit and vegetable dyes to design their very own bandanas!
