Why Did Adventures 4 Kidz Become Gaia Guides?

Over the years, Adventures 4 Kidz has become a trusted name for kids’ summer camps in Alameda, offering fun, safe, and memorable outdoor experiences. So, why the change to Gaia Guides? We know many families may have questions about our new name, and we’re here to share the story behind it, reassure you about what’s staying the same, and explain what this change means for our future.

Below, we’ve answered some common questions to help you understand this exciting evolution and how it continues to reflect our mission to inspire connections with nature.

Why Did You Change the Name from Adventures 4 Kidz to Gaia Guides?

We loved Adventures 4 Kidz, but as our vision grew, we wanted a name that could represent all the experiences we aim to provide—not just for kids, but for adventurers of all ages. Gaia Guides reflects our broader mission to connect people with nature, honor environmental stewardship, and guide meaningful outdoor experiences.

Does the Name Change Mean the Summer Camps Will Be Different?

No! While our name has changed, the summer camp programs you know and love remain the same. We’re still offering kayaking, paddleboarding, environmental education, and fun activities for kids, led by the same experienced instructors. The quality, safety, and fun of our camps haven’t changed—just the name!

What Does Gaia Guides Mean?

The name Gaia comes from the ancient Greek goddess of Earth, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living things. We chose this name to reflect our commitment to fostering a deep connection with nature through our outdoor adventures. As Guides, we’re here to lead experiences that inspire confidence, teamwork, and respect for the planet.
