Cultivating the Imagination & Playing Free in Nature at Marin Waldorf's Summer Camps

Marin Mommies presents a sponsored shout-out from Marin Waldorf School, which offers a variety of camps this summer for children ages 3.5 to 6.

Your children will enjoy spending their days in our beautiful oak grove and inside the homelike environment of our early childhood classrooms.

Your children's mornings will be spent exploring the natural world on our 10 acre campus and Open Space Preserves a block away. We will focus our outdoor time in a variety of summer activities including gardening, water play, and exploration. The rhythm of our mornings will closely follow that of our regular early childhood day with seasonal songs, stories and crafts, and will include an organic snack each day. Camp week themes below.
