ByPamelaFox,MarinMommies Special to the Marin IJ L iving in Marin, you don't have to look far for a summer camp that takes advantage of some of the amazing natural resources we have right in our own back yard. Families in Marin County can choose from a variety of outstanding summer camps that allow kids to explore nature and the outdoors. Here are some of our favorite local Marin day camps for kids of all ages that have an emphasis on the outdoors and the natural world around us. Needless to say, all of these camps are very popular and often sell out far in advance, so if you're interested, sign up soon! AudubonYouthPrograms at the Richardson Bay Audubon Center in Tiburon for kids in pre-K to third grade includes themes like Water Detectives, Living on the Bay, Shoreline Survivors and Shark Week. Expedition Camp and On the Fly Camp are for children in grades four to six, where campers deliver a little deeper into the varied habitats of Marin County and visit environments like the bay, ocean, redwood forest and more. They also offer a Youth Leaders program for older kids ages 11 to 17. Visit richardsonbay. audubon.org/programs.
