The Junior Guide program will serve more than 600 youth participating in the City’s free summer camp program, Summer Together. Facilitated by Rec and Park and the San Francisco Parks Alliance, the campers take shuttles to Golden Gate Park from recreation centers in neighborhoods further from the park, including the Tenderloin, Chinatown, North Beach, Bayview, Portola, Potrero Hill, the Mission, Bernal Heights, the Excelsior, Crocker Amazon, Oceanview, and the Western Addition.  

Once they arrive, the campers enjoy a whirlwind of fun and learning. One part of their day is a talk by author Marta Lindsey, sharing her book Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure. Over the two weeks of the Junior Guide Program, Marta will give nearly 20 talks!
