We are so excited to welcome campers to another year of Marsh-In Summer Camp held at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge! Our 46th year of camp will be held in-person from Tuesday, July 29th — Thursday, July 31st from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm at Refuge Headquarters in Fremont at 1 Marshlands Rd, Fremont, CA 94555.
We’re looking forward to a fun schedule full of crafts, hiking, science activities, and special guest speakers! Campers will also receive a free activity packet to enjoy at home!
We are hoping to offer round-trip bus transportation for campers from Santa Clara County, but we need to raise the funds to cover the expense. Our board has agreed to match up to $1000 in donations. We would be most appreciative if you can share this link to help us get donations for the bus! https://www.mightycause.com/story/Bluegoosebusfund
