WARM AND WELCOMING STAFF 
With a 12:1 camper to counselor ratio, we offer small group supervision at all times and a policy of inclusion to ensure all campers receive the attention they deserve. Most of our counselors are full-time teachers at Marin Horizon during the school year.
SAFETY IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY
We maintain strict protocols throughout the school year that will continue to be in effect over the summer. All of our teachers have received training on classroom cleaning and disinfecting procedures and we utilize outdoor classroom spaces often.
