Bay Area After School
Top 4 reasons to join TrackersKIDS After School
1) Convenient locations in Berkeley and Fairfax
Within minutes of many Bay Area neighborhoods, utilizing some of the most spectacular natural areas and waterways!
2) We do more and have real adventures!
Compare the goals of our days with any other program out there. Students do more than go on hikes and play games. They get outside PLUS go boating, train archery, harvest and preserve wild foods, start their own business and much more.
3) Smaller group sizes
We have an average of 15% smaller group sizes than industry standard. Its more safe and more fun.
4) A child's competency is respected
We believe children are capable of so much more than our modern culture asks of them. We raise the bar of accomplishment and team leadership while gently guiding them to connect to the natural world.

We help children to feel like that group of kids wandering country backyards 50 years ago: independent, tired, muddy, wet and happy from the woods and wild. We are acutely aware of full and real hazards of the out of doors after years of working in environmental education. We try to move away from the highly structured and limiting tolerances of conventional environmental education while keeping kids truly safe but not encapsulated from, or phobic of nature. We are deep patriots to the value of offering guided yet very free and transparent experiences for kids. We believe it is okay to be thirsty at times, cold at times, and wet at times. It builds empathy and care for the gifts of life. It fosters adventure and sincere accomplishment. We also believe it is critical to feel supported and cared for as they truly explore their passion and responsibility. And through a healthy life immersed in nature, they test the limits and great potential of the often untapped physical and emotional resiliency they possess
