Nature Focused Afterschool Programs and Holiday Camps
Our Story
From the Beginning
At Bedstuy Fireflies camp and afterschool programs, we’re proud to provide a caring and safe environment for your children. By following our mission, vision and values, we create a nurturing, stimulating and welcoming learning nature based environment for all children preschool aged and 3K pre-k through grade 2.
We provide our students with the tools they need for future happiness and success. Our unique programs incorporate a variety of educational and nature based theories, while always keeping the child’s best interest in mind and allowing for hands-on, experiential learning and appreciation for our planet.
Our afterschool programs are in local schools. Children are picked up from their classrooms and engage in science and STEAM related activities. Students also learn gardening skills, arts and crafts, and have lots of play. We operate between 12-6pm based off of your schools schedule. Sibling discounts are available.

Connecting With Nature
Imaginative Play
Arts and Crafts
As a nature based camp and afterschool program children learn about the earth with each activity. We spend most of our days outdoors exploring local parks, gardening, doing science experiments, and playing outside.
Imaginative Play is the focus of our programs and we believe play helps each child blossom to thier full potential. Each day children are engaged through games, exploration, and free play activities
Art is something every child enjoys. Each day we do arts and crafts outdoors or incorporating natural materials we have found in our environment.
