I wanted to let you know that the group at Upton last week was fantastic! We easily spent two hours on the cleanup, and the kids were really enthusiastic and engaged the whole time.

I just wanted to thank you for creating the entire Marin GreenPlay program. It’s been a part of K.’s life since she was little during the first year your program was running. I still remember driving down to Muir Woods to pick up K. and her brother from their weeklong session hiking through that area and being so completely exhausted.

Thanks for hanging in there through these past 15 months and continuing to bring more and more children outside. It must be such a tough job juggling everything and everyone and we appreciate all your efforts!

I just wanted to share that N. had a great camp week. It filled my heart to see her hug all of her counselors at the end of camp yesterday. Thanks for providing such great experiences for kids. Please pass on our thanks to all the counselors as well. It was a treat to be able to have her engaged, happy, and outside each day. Plus she learned so much more about the Miwok and shared what she was learning each evening.
— Amy P. - Summer 2021
N. had a fabulous time! She really liked the guides and the kids on the trip. Great trip!
— Kristi L. - Summer 2021
Thank you and all the amazing guides at Marin GreenPlay for caring for my sons. I recognize that it is hard work caring for kids, particularly outdoors in nature, but it is important and undervalued. You and your staff are creating earth stewards that will grow to love and protect nature.
— Danielle E. - Summer 2019
Thank you so much!! Your camps have really been the highlight of J.’s childhood! You’re providing an amazing and exceptional service to this community!
— Alex G. - Summer 2019
Thank YOU so much for creating such an incredible nature-based camp. It is amazing what you have developed - our kiddos are SO lucky. I grew up in SF and have strong memories of Mrs. Terwilliger and I am so psyched my girls have similar (but honestly better!) experiences. Even my dog Angus got to be a part of GreenPlay this year so we are all big fans. :)
— Antonia S. - Summer 2019
Best camp ever! Thank you so much for the epic week. This was A.’s first “real” camp that she didn’t run away from so sort of monumental in our eyes. Definitely worth the trip down from Tahoe. She met some really nice kids that we’re hoping to be able to connect with for future camps. A. is already asking when she can do it again.

P.S. Climbing Guide Dakota was awesome! Such a solid guy, counselor, climber, etc.

Thank you so much!
— Anne H. - Summer 2019
J. has always enjoyed the rock and tree-climbing and beach activities so much. I wanted to thank you for putting together such adventurous, creative and educational camps over the years. They were always a highlight of her summer.
— Robin F.
Your camp has been such an excellent experience these past few years. We look forward to more!
— Elizabeth S.
Thank you for everything!! J. is having an absolute blast. He couldn’t be happier!!
— Alexandra G.
Thanks for a fantastic week! My daughter loved the camp and I loved the easy style, light structure and focus on developing new skills in beautiful places. Just what these kids need in the summer!

Boys loved camp!

First of all, WOWOWOW! What an incredible camp you run! I am SO incredibly impressed and thought the camp experience was a 10-10-10! I cannot say enough wonderful things about your guides. They are the ABSOLUTE BEST and truly, made the camp week incredible! They were the best mix of nature education, fun and joy, firmness and kindness. Their love and respect for nature was surely passed on to T. and all the children. Truly, you have created a magical and beautiful way to learn about nature and be outside and get healthy exercise.
— Susan C.
I’d be happy doing service every day at Marin GreenPlay Camp.
— Quinlin D.
Thank you. O loves your camp and is having a lot of fun. I can’t tell you what a difficult time we had with summer camps until we found GreenPlay. She belongs outdoors.
— Molly O.
You guys have a great mission. We have done a fair amount of outdoor time - Vilda, Slide Ranch, Waldorf coop forest kindergarten - glad to see the movement to get kids outdoors is growing.
— Shoshanna K.
Just wanted to say that your camp was fabulous. L had a great time every day. Awesome counselors and activities. We’ll be back next year!

I loved last summer at Marin GreenPlay when we went to the beach. We learned about crabs and birds and we almost saw a seal.

I liked Marin Greenplay when we went to the Lawrence Hall of Science and learned about bugs.

Wow-we cannot express how happy our family has been with GreenPlay this summer!! P. and P. are so connected to the natural world and were delighted to head out to camp each day! Thank you so much for the many gifts you have given them-we (and they) are so grateful! And I have learned quite a bit from them too!

Looking forward to many future chapters together.
— Jodi R.
Your camp is amazing, so glad we discovered it

— Anna R.
First of all, THANK YOU for an AMAZING WEEK! O has had the time of her life. Thank you for having such a fabulous camp!
— Lisa M.
I have been meaning to e-mail and thank you for the amazing “camp” experience you provided S. this summer. I put “camp” in quotes, because I think of it more as an amazing adventure. I recall that you created GreenPlay, because you weren’t finding the type of summer camp experience you wanted for your own child. I am so glad you did, because you created something that speaks to me, as well, and provides the kind of experience that I would hope more and more parents want to provide their children. The chance to explore and learn so deeply and intimately about the natural treasures in our own “back yard”, in a way that challenges (the hikes!), engages, energizes, and, yes, educates, our children, was truly appreciated, by S. and by us. We loved seeing her excitement as she told us of her achievements (“we hiked 4-1/2 miles!”), her insights (“Mom, we had a girl ranger!”), and her learning (“Guess what kind of animal that is?”), and her simple, but meaningful, creations at the end of the week. Thank you so much. We wish you continued success, and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
— Jane K.
The week was a huge success for our group!  The kids loved it and the parents loved that their kids loved it!  :)  There’s nothing more heart-warming than seeing your kids enjoying the simple thrills of nature.  Thank you so much for accommodating us — not only was it fun, but it was so helpful to have a camp that week for those of us working.  I’d love to get back in touch again next year and see if you might be willing to repeat that same week again.
— Dabney I.
Such a fun week for Q and Moby - thank you so much for everything!!
— Julie D.
I cannot thank you and your staff for two amazing weeks at GreenPlay. I have NEVER EVER seen my boys so RIDICULOUSLY happy. Thank you!
— Caryn T.
I wanted to thank you again for the most wonderful summer camps which H. and O. participated in this summer. They absolutely loved them and it was wonderful to see them grow from their experiences and all they learned. It’s always tough during the summer seeing your children go off to camp and hoping they enjoy their time and aren’t just there to fill in time during the day while parents are at work. I knew that the boys were in great care and having the time of their lives and so very much appreciated the opportunity and all the great fun they had too! Thank you again - we are number one fans of GreenPlay camp!
