Join Tree Frog Treks and our experienced Wild Science team for exploration and learning through active observation as we explore within several parks to discover the amazing plants and animals who inhabit our beautiful city, from soaring Red-tailed Hawks to slimy Slender Salamanders. In addition to outdoor adventures, campers will perform hands-on science experiments, play games, and make nature-inspired art. They'll even get to have face-to-face encounters with our creepy crawly Animal Ambassadors like Ziggy the Bearded Dragon or Blondie the Burmese Python!
It's the perfect time to get out and get dirty, so put on your explorer hat, grab your binoculars and bug boxes, and let's hit the trail for some science fun!!

Frog Hall sessions meet at our head office at 3835 Mission Street (near Crescent Ave.) Most of our animals are kept here! Campers have time in the morning to meet the animals, hold them, feed them and learn all about them. Then the group heads to a nearby destination via BMW (bus/muni/walk) to check out the turf, play a game, dig some dirt and so much more! Unless otherwise noted, campers will return to Frog Hall at the end of the camp day.
Holly Park sessions meet at Holly Park and go by BMW (bus/muni/walk) to some exciting destinations throughout SF. Past locations have included Fort Funston, Lands End, Bernal Heights, Golden Gate Park & Presidio Tunnel Tops Park. Campers will also visit Frog Hall for animal time or take an animal with them for the day. This camp is highly mobile.
Mountain Lake Park is nestled amidst the urban oasis of the Presidio, Mountain Lake offers a unique and immersive camp experience like no other. With Mountain Lake as our canvas, we are eager to introduce campers to the wonders of this vibrant ecosystem, where every day brings new discoveries. From observing the behaviors of elusive Western pond turtles to identifying the diverse bird life that migrates through the area, campers will gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things.
