Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center’s Bay Camp program:

Hey kids! Have you ever wanted to get up close and personal with the bayshore’s birds, plants, plants, bugs and other crawly critters? Ask mom or dad to drop you off mornings at the Shoreline for five days of salt marsh madness. Meet birds and bugs, search for life in the mud, play games, catch (and release) fish, go on a scientific voyage of discovery and learn why the shoreline is such an important place. Each week ends with a fun party that parents and siblings can attend. Fee includes T-shirt and all activities. Sessions indicate grade your child will attend in September. More info..
