About This Activity
Spring Recess Camp It's the perfect time to get and get dirty, so put on your explorer hat, grab your binoculars and bug nets, a let's hit the trail for some science fun! As San Francisco awakens from its winter rest, signs of spring begin to bloom all around us—buds on the trees, birds nesting, and salamanders surfacing from their hiding spots. At Tree Frog Treks, our trained naturalists know that spring is one of the most exciting times to explore the city’s wild spaces. Join our Wild Science team this spring for a season of discovery, adventure, and hands-on learning! Holly Park Spring Camp is a highly mobile program that begins each day at Holly Park and heads out to explore high-interest nature destinations throughout San Francisco. We travel by “BMW” (Bus, Muni, Walk) to locations like Fort Funston, Lands End, Bernal Heights, Golden Gate Park, and the Presidio Tunnel Tops. Campers will also visit our headquarters—Frog Hall—for animal time, or bring one of our Animal Ambassadors along for the ride! Each morning kicks off with a “mind map”—a silly, energizing group circle that introduces the theme of the day. Then it’s time to hit the trail! Campers may walk 1–5 miles as they explore the vibrant parks, beaches, and forests of the city. Along the way, they’ll encounter plants in bloom, insects on the move, and maybe even catch a glimpse of Red-tailed Hawks overhead or Slender Salamanders underfoot. Spring Camp blends outdoor exploration with hands-on science experiments, nature-based art projects, group games, and up-close encounters with Animal Ambassadors like Ziggy the Bearded Dragon or Blondie the Burmese Python. Campers build friendships, deepen their love of nature, and learn how to observe the world like true naturalists.
