Family Camping Weekends! 

The Point Bonita Y is pleased to offer Family Camping Weekends!

Join us for an extension of our Y Rangers (Play, Learn, Serve, Work) program, focused on getting outdoors and playing, learning, serving and working in our National Park.  This program will be offered 4 times per year, for up to 25 families. 

Each weekend will offer activities for families to do together, kid-specific activities while parents get some time to themselves, opportunities for families to form community with each other, and service projects to give back to and preserve our parks. We will provide all meals and accommodations. At this time, families will sleep in our historic dorm rooms. This is a partnership program between the YMCA of San Francisco and the National Park Service. 

 

Pricing & What to Expect

Pricing:

$550 Y Facility Members, $650 Community Participants

Family Camp pricing is inclusive of 3-4 people living at the same address. We encourage extended family members to attend and only charge an additional $90/person for families wishing to bring more than 4 people living at the same address. Two-person family pricing is $90/family less than the above prices. Please contact Becca Montgomery, Camp Coordinator, at rmontgomery@ymcasf.org for any questions.
