Marsh-In Summer Camp is a yearly tradition that began in 1980. The camp introduces children entering 1st–6th grade to the Refuge, engaging them with the wildlife that live in its habitats and encouraging them to help protect the environment. Former campers entering 7th–12th grade can return to camp to volunteer as Habitat Heroes. In recent years, the camp has included virtual and hybrid models. Bus transportation from Alviso to Fremont is offered for campers from Santa Clara County. An At-Home Activity Packet is available with family-friendly activities to engage with nature and science at home. Marsh-In Summer Camp is supported by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program, and Cargill, Inc.
