Document Description
Through its Outdoor Leadership Program for Children with Incarcerated Parents, Project Avary will provide year-round coastal access and leadership experience for ~1,200 youth to explore the coastal environments of Marin County. Participants will include youth of incarcerated parents and lower-income households. Program activities designed to foster long-term healing for children with incarcerated parents and care for the coast include monthly youth Leadership Retreats at coastal venues, Summer Camp in Point Reyes, and quarterly ocean Adventure Days. The program provides youths with opportunities to engage in ocean sports like boogie boarding, surfing, and swimming, and offers swim lessons to participants with little or no experience with water activities. At summer camps, participants spend mornings hiking along trails, marshes, and tidepools where they learn about the ocean environment and stewardship to take care of the coastland.
