Summer Camp 2026
Welcome to 2026 Summer Camps at Fiddlehead!
We are gearing up for another super fun STEAM filled summer camp program. Please read the directions carefully and set about 10 minutes to go through the whole registration process. Our system works much better on a laptop or computer than on a mobile device. Enrollment is open to the public February 1st at 9am! Last year we filled up in under 10 minutes, so set a reminder. Due to our space limitations and the overwhelming interest, we are asking families to sign up for only the weeks that they really need. (FYI we do give early priority to our current Fiddlehead families). Ideally, we'd like to set a max of 6-8 weeks per family so that more families have a chance to attend. If you were hoping to attend all 10 weeks and this poses a hardship for you, please reach out to Oona directly to discuss.
Here are a couple of practical notes:
​​
-
A one time registration fee of $25 is due when you become a member - this membership is required to purchase any camp weeks. If you are unable to register for camps this fee is refundable.
-
Camp is geared to children ages 5 thru 10 with interest in all the STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Some of our themes have more to do with Art and others with Science, but each week the activities will integrate STEAM into everything we do.
-
Camp runs from 8:30am-4:00pm, Mon-Fri. We offer day rates as well as full week tuition. The cost of the 5 day camp is $450, with a day rate of $95. We offer a 5% sibling discount.
-
We are not able to provide before or after care options.
-
We will have a maximum of 30 campers each day, with a minimum of 4 teachers and 3 youth counselors.
-
Each week will have its own unique theme and the projects will center around this theme.
-
We will spend a lot of the day outside in our woods and our play areas.
Thanks and we look forward to a happy and safe summer season!
