The Point Bonita Y is pleased to offer Family Camping Weekends this fall! Join us for an extension of our Let’s Move! Outside program, focused on getting outdoors and playing, learning, serving and working in our National Park. This program will be offered once per month, for up to 25 families each month.
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, but In the future we may offer tent camping as well. This is a partnership program between the YMCA of San Francisco and the National Park Service. Registration for the October - May weekends will open September 4th.
