Award-Winning Commitment
We aren’t in this for the awards, but the unfaltering dedication of our year-round and summer staff has won our Bay Area summer camps numerous awards for excellence and an ACA accreditation for health and safety. In 2011, we were also named the #1 “Best Place to Work” in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times (for organizations with 51-100 employees) and one of Inc. Magazine's 50 Best Companies to Work For. This commitment to creating an exceptional work environment enables us to attract and retain phenomenal staff, whose enthusiasm infuses everything they do.
