As things evolve and protocols change, we are still dedicated to providing the safest environment possible for your child.

My daughter had the time of her life, hiking the trails of Marin, playing games, and making friends. She came home every day, dirty, tired, and brimming with stories of her adventures...exactly what summer should be for a kid. - Heidi S. Mother of 7 year old daughter.
My kindergartner was lucky enough to participate in Terra Marin's spring break camp and we could not be happier with the experience! Super safe and professional staff, trained teachers and naturalists from their regular outdoor teaching staff, and dedicated, bright junior counselors supporting their efforts. - Anne H., parent of 5 year old daugher.
