Unique Summer Adventures with Marin GreenPlay Camp!

Marin Mommies presents a sponsored article from Marin GreenPlay Camp, sponsor of the 2025 Marin Summer Camp Guide.
This summer, sign up the kiddos for a unique summer adventure at Marin GreenPlay Camp! Marin GreenPlay Camp, voted Best Summer Camp by Marin IJ readers, is an innovative and place-based nature awareness camp for kids entering kindergarten and up that takes place at locations throughout Marin County. Marin GreenPlay, now in its 16th year, is the sponsor of our 2025 Marin Summer Camp Guide!
For the 2025 season, Marin GreenPlay offers unique camps for a wide range of age groups. For the youngest campers, Watershed Warriors is a nature program full of exploring, games, art, storytelling, and more for kids going into Grades K–2. This is age-appropriate, fun, timeless, slow play and safe exploration. Campers will use all of their senses and learn to relate to each other. Each week features creekside and bayside locations in Mill Valley, Tiburon, and the Ross Valley.
Older children in grades 3–6 will enjoy Dog Days, the camp for kids and their dogs (no dogs required — all of the dogs approved to attend camp are shared), focusing on learning ethical dog walking on Marin’s extensive trail system and coyote awareness. Guest presenters, art, games and more are included as part of the activities at this camp. Dog Days meets at various locations in and around Mill Valley.
Also for kids entering grades 3–6 are our long time favorites where transportation is provided to some of the most beautiful spots in Marin County and beyond: Ride Five, Rock Five, and Rock & Ride.
Ride Five offers beach exploration, games, and boogie boarding at Muir Beach and Stinson Beach, kayaking in Sausalito, and more. Level one and advanced outdoor rock climbing is offered as part of the Rock Five program, where kids master single-pitch, top rope rock climbing under the direction of our AMGA certified expert rock climbing staff. Rock & Ride combines these camps by giving kids the chance to climb 2 days and head to the beach on the other 3 days.
Kids going into 7th grade and up are welcome to join our Rock Five program as well!
Teens can also participate in Marin GreenPlay's Youth Leaders Program training course held each June, which provides them with naturalist and leadership skills and invites them to help out at camp and receive a stipend year after year through high school.
Camp sessions cost from $300-$750. Half-day and full-day options are available, as are before- and after-care. Marin Mommies readers: get a $25 per week discount on all camp sessions with code MARINMOMMIES. For more information or to register, visit www.maringreenplay.com
