Vilda Summer Camp
Our beloved nature day camps are an organic, all natural, local, free range, 100% awesome summer experience in the hills and lakes of Marin, at a 250-acre organic farm in Petaluma and on the Bay in China Camp! With wilderness skills, nature connection and ecological stewardship wrapped in lots of adventure and play, campers learn about animal tracking, wild edible plants, primitive skills, natural dyes and much, much more. Our San Rafael camps includes swimming and kayaking or hands on skills such as carpentry and ecological crafts, and our Petaluma camps include organic farming and tending baby farm animals. We are a small, local non-profit, with highly trained adult instructors who provide kids with a caring individualistic experience.

We are committed to safety and providing an individualistic, enjoyable experience for each child that is more like an outdoor summer vacation adventure than a camp. We provide a unique blend of wilderness skills, useful hands-on experiences, creativity and child centered play. Our camp (formerly called "Fairfax Tracks") has been running for over five years in Marin with many of our participants coming back year after year.
