I highly recommend this summer camp to all parents. The motto of KftB is ''No child left inside!'' It's a great adventure. I have an 8 year old who wants to go back for the third year and a 6 year old going back for the 2nd year. As a teacher and a parent, I believe that this program offers children an experience that sparks their intellectual curiosity and helps them connect to nature. It's well run and consistently good.

Our daughter absolutely enjoyed her week of activities and her teachers at Kids for the Bay last summer (2007). Every person on the staff had a genuine passion for teaching the kids about our bay and how to keep it safe and beautiful. To this day, our daughter still picks up trash along the bay after her week at Kids for the Bay camp. We highly recommend this fun and enriching camp. Pearl

Now that it is March, many of us our making our summer plans. I just wanted to share with you all how much my son loves the environmental science camp led by Kids for the Bay. This will be my son's 4th year in the camp--and each year it is always his favorite. Last year, he came home each day, eager to describe what they did. He loved dissecting a squid and then using the ''leftovers'' to catch a crab. He loved looking for and identifying sea life under the Berkeley pier. And...he LOVED steering a 65 foot sail boat on the bay! Yep...I even got to go on that amazing trip. What a way to learn more about and appreciate our Bay! My son, now 8, says, ''When I grow up, I'm going to be a marine biologist and do things like this everyday!'' I know much of this enthusiasm and interest in science has been inspired by the knowledgeable, competent, and caring counselors at Kids for the Bay. Feel free to write to me if you would like to hear more. mf

Has anyone had any direct experience or knowledge about Kids for the Bay summer camp (run by earth island)? I checked the past listings but nothing there. thanks. Betty
