Some campers just come for one week, many return 3 weeks, some campers come for all 7 weeks of our summer program! While our activity offerings rotate each week to keep things fresh, the core activities that are part of our Badge Program remain consistent to allow campers to build upon their skills / progress week-over-week.

Mountain Camp Marin serves lunch catered by Marinwood Market. Parents can order lunch for their camper up until the Friday before the start of their camper’s session. Additionally, two snacks a day are provided. Mountain Camp Marin is able to accommodate some common food allergies but please contact the office with specific questions.

We do our best to accommodate friend requests. There is a place on your application to list requests. Friend requests are easier to honor when they are made in advance and involve campers of a similar age and school grade (within one grade level of each other).

We organize our camp groups largely by school grade. This allows our campers on the younger side of their grade to remain with their school friends. Sometimes, for personal or behavioral issues, we may choose to separate campers into different groups.

Our Cancellation / Refund Policy is as follows:

(All cancellations must be submitted via email to [email protected].)
We highly recommend purchasing Camp Tuition Insurance to cover your expenses in the event you should need to cancel. Camp tuition insurance is offered by Travmark (MHRoss), a travel insurance company, and not by Mountain Camp Marin directly. Please remember that Camp Tuition Insurance is the ONLY way to be reimbursed for camp expenses should something unexpected come up for your family (sporting events, travel changes, positive COVID test, changes in academic schedules, injury, etc.).
You are welcome to change sessions as needed at no cost, provided there is space available in your desired session, and the session length is greater or equal to the currently enrolled session. If you switch to a session that is shorter in length, the below policy applies.
All cancellations made prior to April 1st: Tuition returned, less $50 registration fee.
Cancellations made between April 1st & May 1st: Tuition returned less $250 non-refundable deposit for per enrolled session.
Any cancellations made after May 1st: No refund.
This includes cancellations due to illness, COVID-19, family emergencies or anything unexpected.
Any credits used for camp tuition are subject to the cancellation policies above.
Campers sent home for disciplinary reasons or because of homesickness: No refund.
Camper sent home due to illness, COVID 19 protocols, or injury: No refund.

If your child will be dropped off late, please contact the office so we can arrange for them to meet their group. If your child will be picked up early, please fill out our Early Camper Pick-Up Request Form so they will be ready with their belongings when you arrive. If your child will not be at camp on a given day, please contact the office so we can communicate their absence to their counselors and activity leaders.
