This is literally summer camp. Before COVID, this place hosted hundreds of school-aged children for nature camp. Because the pandemic shut them down, they turned the site into an Airbnb to survive until things opened up again. Such a great idea and such a great place! You stay in tarp tents, sleep on wooden bunks (bring sleeping bags), eat in the kitchen if you want (Cookie, the chef, comes by to cook if you're lucky), rent the grill if you want to cook your own food, and basically, frolic on your own private beach. It was amazing. You can kayak, hike and snorkel. We saw seals, octopi, a turtle, and a million Garibaldis, California's state fish. Who knew there was a state fish! Also saw a bison, some foxes, and two bald eagles, which were nesting in one of the trees. Masa and DJ, who both volunteer there, were friendly and helpful. DJ, in particular, was a ball of energy. He so obviously loves the place and feels blessed to be there that he can barely contain his enthusiasm. We didn't know what to expect when we stepped off the ferry, but this was, by far, one of our favorite vacations ever.
