Despite a range of weather conditions typical of Sausalito, from blustery to burning and back, The Bay Area Discovery Museum’s Spring Break Camp went off without a hitch.  Even creative protestors scaling the Golden Gate Bridge couldn’t keep the kids away! There is endless digging for pennies in Lookout Cove, and fishing for crabs in Bay Hall; yet children are simultaneously making new friends, testing their limits in a safe environment, and most importantly getting a chance to pursue their passions. Check out some pictures here.

I was recently talking to my mom about her experience going to Girl Scout camp in the early 1960’s.  It was life changing for her because while she LOVED camping, her family was not big on nature.  Girl Scout Camp gave her a chance to discover what has become a life long passion that she never would have found through her school or home life.  So if you’ve got a building block fanatic, future Picasso, or budding entomologist living under your roof look no further!

Camps are directly tied to the museum’s mission to “engage, delight and educate.” We give children the opportunity to discover things that will shape them for life, whether it’s the struggle of threading a needle to sew a stuffed bat, making it to the top of the Crow’s Nest for the first time, or dissecting a squid, camper’s interests are truly nurtured. This is the best kind of learning, as all the experts will tell you, our curriculum is play based, developmentally appropriate and we follow the focus of the children.

We still have limited space in many of the summer camps developed right here at The Bay Area Discovery Museum! For more information click here. Or call Heather Posner, Camp Coordinator at 415-339-3982
