Session 4: Mystical Magical Moonbeam Ice Cream
Come have a mystical and magical week with us, full of fantastical events like fairy tea parties, superhero showdowns, outer space adventures, and so much more. This is the sweetest, most fantastical adventure you can imagine, filled with enchantment, ice cream, and all things “out of this world.”
Field Trip: Six Flags
Session 5: Wild West Day
Yee-haw! This week we gallop out to the wild, wild west to wrangle all the memories, adventures, and excitement the Marinwood frontier has to offer. Hike through the treacherous hills, dodging outlaws and bandits, test your ropemaking skills to catch escaping counselors, and just plain cowboy it up with us for a wild adventure of a week.
Field Trip: Stafford Lake Picnic Day
Session 6: Crafty Critters & Creative Contraptions
This week campers will unleash their inner animal lovers as they craft, build, and invent all kinds of critter-inspired creations. From designing cozy homes for imaginary creatures to building contraptions that help your pet raccoon “escape” a maze, every day is a new opportunity for wild creativity. Grab your glitter, feathers, and fur and let hilarity ensue as the Animal Kingdom and the Craft Kingdom go head-to-head.
Field Trip: Oakland Zoo
Session 7: Marinwood Olympics (for the B team players)
Ever wonder if you could compete in the Olympics? Forget the serious athletic competitions. This week is all about silly events like a three-legged race, one-eyed water balloon tosses, or a "pajama-wearing-while-eating-pancakes" relay. You don’t have to be a champion this week, just a willing participant!
Field Trip: Six Flags
Session 8: Go Wild for Wildlife
This week, campers will step into the wild and discover the incredible animals that share our world! From the tiniest insects to the mightiest mammals, we’ll learn what makes each creature unique through games, crafts, and outdoor adventures. Get ready to go wild as we celebrate fur, feathers, fins, and everything in between.
Field Trip: Scandia
Session 9: Holy Hot Dogs!
Did someone say hot dog eating contest?! We are leaning into ridiculousness this last session of summer. Kids will cheer on their counselors in our epic annual Hot Dog vs. Bananas Kickball game. Each day will bring a wacky surprise sure to delight the senses.

Our Staff
Marinwood’s camp staff is a close-knit crew of highly trained and enthusiastic counselors, directors, and supervisors, many of whom grew up attending our camps together as kids. All are certified in Professional Rescuer CPR/AED & First Aid and have been fingerprinted and undergone background checks. Our counselors take pride in passing on Marinwood’s unique games, crafts, stories, and traditions to the next generation of campers and upholding the standard of excellence that has made Marinwood the premier day camp of Marin. Our staff looks forward to reconnecting with all the returning campers and meeting the new ones this summer!
