That said, it's small in a cozy way, in a nice setting with friendly staff. We went there again last week and I find it to be as good as I'd remembered. It is only deep in the middle part (5'). But that's all I need to do my water exercise. The temp is good (80-84) and they provide noodles. I also hear they're renovating the pool deck in the near future. I would have given 4.5 stars, as there is no indoor shower...just outdoors in the open. They do have good changing rooms though. The character of this treasure of a hometown pool deserves the full 5 stars despite the lack of indoor showers.

The activities become more fun as the kids grow, the quality of the teachers and staff remains extremely high. The kids love taking the bus from/to the Presidio, they enjoy hiking, sailing, learning about ocean life and nature in general, and they learn to appreciate nature so much. They look up to park rangers and come home with advice on what to do to preserve nature. I highly recommend this camp to anyone who appreciates the outdoors and frankly to anyone who needs to learn more about nature, which is the majority of people, especially people who live in the city.

This is January 2010 and I stumbled across Jody's July 2009 review of the Coastal Camp. I had or…read moreshould I say , my nephew from Europe had a great time in the summer of 2009 ( same month as Jody's child). For a non- English speaking kid, and trying to pick up the language, he still had a great time with all the activities ( Ocean Explorers). He has asked me to enroll him again this coming summer. The only comment I share with Jody is the need to increase the staff by 1/3 for the volume of children attending. I'll feel better if they did so. Maybe that's what Jody meant by lack of supervision. My girlfriend enrolled her young children in the Call for the Wild program. They spent a night in the "Wild" and still recall their memorable night outdoor.

My older kids had fun playing pickleball/tennis and looked forward to swimming each day. They enjoyed doing crafts and making new friends. We did not have the ability to plan too far ahead this summer, so I appreciated being able to easily book online for multiple kids with the option of choosing the entire week or just specific days. It is also great that they get lunch included. They make this so easy for parents and I especially appreciated Kilia, the director of camps, who was very helpful and responsive.

My son has been enrolled at Waterworks for over a year with weekly lessons and still hasn't fully…read morelearned to swim -- and the main reason is constant cancellations. Since December 2025, they have canceled 10 of his classes. For young kids, inconsistent instruction isn't just inconvenient -- it causes them to lose momentum and regress, because swimming requires routine, repetition, and confidence-building week after week. Not to mention, we plan our day expecting this class to happen and week in and week out we get a cancelation notice on the same day, completely messing up our schedule. It's completely unacceptable to run a swim school with this level of inconsistency and no real accountability or effort to make it right. Families aren't paying for "weekly" lessons that get canceled constantly.
