Fiddleheads After School Programs* - SportStars Magazine
Fiddleheads is a warm and playful after-school program offering children therapeutic support and social and emotional instruction in the enlivening atmosphere of our Bay Area parks. We foster nourishment, self-awareness and growth through activities that promote sensory integration, emotional regulation and empathic connections. We integrate mindfulness, movement and play into everything we do with a flow of rituals, structured games, free play, adventure, story time, snack, and group circles.

Our camps run for three 2-week sessions plus one 5-day early session. June 11 to June 15 (5-day early camp in SF only)
June 18 to June 29; July 2 to July 13; and July 16 to July 27.

In Oakland, San Francisco, Marin, Berkeley, Richmond, Lafayette and Petaluma ages 5-8, 8-12

Financial Assistance and Scholarships are available for those in need. We welcome children and families.
Your children in age groups 4-7, 8-11 and 12-14 will form healing relationships with nature and make new friends, while absorbing social lessons and connecting more deeply to their senses and feelings. We keep our ratio small: one counselor per three children, so the children feel seen and understood.
