Camp Mather Set to Open This Summer for Its 90th Anniversary Season
It is a great pleasure to announce that the 90th season of Camp Mather family camp
will proceed as scheduled and that the camp season will be at full capacity. Partnering
with the SF Public Utilities Commission, we have successfully mitigated the camp
operations challenges brought on by the Rim Fire and ongoing California drought.
We are very appreciative of all the support we received from the SFPUC to ensure
Camp Mather's opening this season.
Along with this good news, please remember that the Rim Fire caused substantial
damage to the surrounding Stanislaus National Forest and that wildfire damage will
somewhat impact the Camp Mather experience. The US Forest Service has closed a significant
number of the wilderness recreation facilities that they manage such as Carlon Falls,
Rainbow Pools, and Cherry Lake. The great news is that camp amenities such as Birch
Lake, archery, horseback riding, table tennis, swimming pool, basketball and tennis
courts, sports field - and some additional surprise camp enhancements celebrating
the 90th Anniversary of the camp - will be open and ready for your enjoyment.

Do You Want to Be a Greenager?
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department's Greenagers program is under the
umbrella of the department's Youth Stewardship Program. It offers teens from the
southeast side of San Francisco a chance to play an important role in the community
by improving our city's green spaces and raising awareness.
Greenagers work in various parks and open spaces throughout San Francisco, meet
with various Rec and Park staff, community members and partners; and create place-based
projects and or projects based on issues they are interested in. Participants will
meet and work with teens their own age, collaborate with other youth organizations
and gain crucial skills in facilitating workshops, networking, public speaking,
teamwork, environmental education, and community engagement.

Help Name Our Trails in Glen Canyon Park!
Become a part of San Francisco history- help name our trails at Glen Canyon Park!
Beyond Glen Canyon Park's recreation center, ball field, and tennis courts lies
a large urban canyon that has incredible spring wildflower displays, dramatic rock
(chert) formations, and Islais Creek, one of the few remaining free-flowing creeks
in San Francisco. These 60 acres of wilderness, formerly referred to as the San
Miguel Hills, not only provide critical habitat for a wide array of wildlife,
but serve as a relaxing sanctuary from the city's urban bustle. An extensive network
of hiking trails leads through a variety of habitats, from the lush creekside
vegetation to the rocky grass- and scrublands of the canyon's steep eastern slope,
where a profusion of wildflowers blooms each spring.
The Glen Canyon Trails Project is a product of the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood
Parks Bond, multiple California Habitat Conservation Fund grants and extensive
community input. The project is helping to repair existing trails and steps, provide
fencing for public safety and to protect sensitive habitat areas, provide erosion
control measures, restore native plants and provide wayfinding signage.
