    Marin Ranch Camp



    Combining decades of experience running quality camp programs that have served thousands of children, the Camp Doodles family launched Marin Ranch Camp in the fall of 2013. We felt it was about time that Bay Area children had a true residential summer camp right in their own backyard!

    We have crafted a traditional summer camp experience that is focused on fun and adventure, while always operating within a safe and secure program. Our “secret sauce” continues to be our loving counselors who return year after year because they love our campers. You will find them leading a hike through the redwoods one minute and then jumping into the lake with their campers in hand the next minute.

    We're pleased to have partnered with the Marin County Office of Education and the Walker Creek Ranch Outdoor Education Center located in West Marin. This stunning 1,700 acre property, which is owned and operated by the MCOE, boasts 20 miles of hiking trails, a four acre lake, an organic garden, and a vast array of ecosystems for campers to explore with their counselors. And being less than 90 minutes away from San Francisco, children get the experience of living in the woods without ever having to leave the Bay Area!

    My teenager has been attending Marin Ranch camp now for the past three (or is it four?) summers and looks forward to it every year! He loves to reconnect with his old camp friends and really enjoys all of the activities. This year his eight year old brother joined him and loved it too! I highly recommend this camp for a first sleep way summer camp experience. As a parent I feel my children will be safe and well taken care of at Marin Ranch Camp. Activities include swimming, canoeing, archery, arts and crafts, sports, games, campfire activities, and a barn boogie dance party!

    My son went last summer. It was his first intro to sleep away camp and he had an absolute blast. Went with a buddy from his tennis classes and they came back closer than ever. Counselors were great. The day was packed with activities. He made a super cool bow and arrow. There were sports, lake activities and all around he had a great week. His twin sister will join him this summer!
