Marin Ranch Camp is Marin County's premier overnight summer camp. Just 1 hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge, our fun and engaging overnight camp program is where kids ages 7 - 17 (Leadership-In-Training for 9th - 12th graders) can hike, swim, boat, explore and play. A place where children can be themselves while participating in traditional, good old-fashioned summer camp activities in an intentional community of caring people.
Our camp is the perfect choice for Bay Area children wanting to attend a classic overnight summer camp, either for the first time or as seasoned campers! We believe children need a place where they can be free from the pressures of everyday life and over-scheduling and engage directly with nature.

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.
At Marin Ranch camp, our mission is clear: to connect children with the natural world while building lifelong friendships and memories. Everything we do is intentional and driven by our core values of Friendship, Adventure, Community, Tradition & Safety (or as we like to call them, "just the F.A.C.T.S.").
At Marin Ranch Camp, each and every day has its own adventures and feel, so there is no one "typical day" at camp. This entire section is devoted to you, the campers! Check out our schedule, what activities you might do, our delicious menu offerings in the dining hall and pictures of some of the awesome activities you might do at camp.
Each and every day at Marin Ranch Camp has a rhythm, but the actual activities vary from day to day. Get ready for a great day! If you're up to the challenge, you can get moving a little bit earlier and catch sight of the wildlife that's active in the early morning (deer, raccoons and birds are common sightings).
Kids love the food here! Even the most picky of eaters (campers and staff) always give the food two thumbs up! The menu consists of fresh, local produce purchased weekly at the farmer's market and supplemented by the Ranch's organic gardens - and is always NUT FREE! We serve delicious hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an afternoon snack and dessert once a day.
