Join us for Summer Camp at Wagner Ranch Nature Area!
​Get unplugged and into nature this summer, with legendary Orinda naturalist, Toris Jaeger. Explore the creeks, ponds and meadows of the historic Wagner Ranch Nature Area to learn about native plant, bird and animal species.  

Through the programs at Wagner Ranch Nature Area, my classmates and I fell in love with adventure and the outdoors, and learned to respect ourselves, each other, and the environment. From Native American football to camping, cooking, gathering, and hiking, the programs introduced us to the natural world around us in deeply meaningful and memorable ways.” - Juliana Col , Sleepy Hollow Elementary, Class of ’90
