Summer Day Camp

GET OUT and GET DIRTY with Tree Frog Treks!

  burmese python and campers

From our base camp in Golden Gate Park we will hike outdoors, meet live animal ambassadors, do hands-on activities including science, art, games, and songs. Tree Frog Treks makes science come alive, and your child will make new discoveries every day in our outdoor laboratory -- nature! Sharpen observation skills, search the sky, look for clues, smell the roses, and charge up your curiosity! Learn about marvelous nature right here in the city, gaining knowledge about local flora & fauna like hawks, slugs, salamanders and more. Come out and get eye to eye and toe to toe with your favorite Tree Frog Treks animals, like Jake the Corn Snake, Savannah the Monitor Lizard, and Neptune the Blue-Tongued Skink! We also have one of the best Counselor-to-Student ratios around, at no more than 8 to 1, which ensures your child won't get lost in the crowd!

With ten weeks of fun and adventure to choose from, your future scientists can sign up for one or more weekly sessions. So grab your back pack, put on your hiking boots, and let’s get trekking!


We know your child loves Tree Frog Treks, and for the month of May we're going to make your wallet love us too! If you register a child or three sessions of our Summer Camp this year, we'll give you the fourth week ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Here's what to do:

  • Make sure one of your children is registered for four sessions of camp total. Each child must be registered for four weeks.
  • If you've registered for some camp sessions already, just make sure you've signed up for four sessions total. If you've already registered for four sessions, that's great!
  • Don't pay online yet! Once you've registered a child for four sessions, call us at (415) 876-3764 and let us know you'd like your fourth session free!

This deal is only good through the end of May 31st, 2012. You must register for all four sessions by the end of May 31st and contact us by then to get your fourth week free.
