Do your kids have any summer plans? Firecracker Math has you covered! Our Summer Math Camp is for curious and challenge-loving children and teenagers ages 6 to 16.
Firecracker Math Camp offers half-days (math only) (9:00 am–12:30 pm) or full days (9:00 am–4:00 pm), with before- and after-care available.
In the morning, campers participate in exciting Firecracker Math lessons covering number theory, geometry, algebra, combinatorics, graphs, probability, and more. This isn’t your typical math lesson. In our small, individualized classes, highly qualified instructors with degrees in math and science teach math through a combination of theoretical instruction, games, magic tricks, and interactive activities. Students focus on solving problems and developing logical thinking skills. Our mission is to spark joy, deepen knowledge, and develop each student’s aptitude for math.
During morning breaks, campers head outside to stretch and play, because camp is about more than math. After lunch, full-day students join a range of fun, hands-on afternoon activities. Last year, these included chess, art, science, and games. Visit Firecrackermath.org for more information.
Sign up siblings to get special discounts. Refer a friend for extra perks. Financial aid is available; email <a href="mailto:info@firecrackermath.org">info@firecrackermath.org</a>. We accept Kindergarten students as long as they meet our prerequisites.

DATE: August 15
TIME: 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm
WHERE: Salsa Dance Marin, 4140 Redwood hwy 8, San RafaelUnlock the body isolation and salsa musicality. We are going to demystify the complex rhythms of the Salsa orchestra, unlock the fluid mechanics of authentic Latin body isolation, and teach you how to actually feel the music. Whether you want to dance with more confidence, find your unique flavor, or simply connect deeper to the rhythm, you are in the right place.
“We dance&nbsp;because&nbsp;of the music”- let’s discover what that really means!
A three part workshop:
Body Movement and Isolation Workout
Starting from the head and working all the way to the feet, we’ll explore body isolations and learn how to combine them into movement that feels natural, expressive and uniquely yours! This full body warm- up increases mobility, builds strength and prepares you to move with greater confidence.
MUSICALITY
We’ll listen to and dance with different Afro-Cuban rhythms-including salsa, rumba, son and cha cha to develop a deeper understanding of musical structure.&nbsp;Learn to recognize rhythm, phrasing and instrumentation so you can respond naturally to the music and develop your own style.
Putting It All Together!
We’ll apply everything you’ve learned through fundamental footwork, rhythm exercises and add in partner concepts. Whether you dance “On 1”, “On 2”, Cuban Casino, Rueda or simply love moving your body to great music, you’ll discover new ways to listen, interpret and express what you hear…and experience dance in a whole new way
About your Instructor- Jennifer Lehr
Dance has been my creative outlet for as long as I can remember. Since discovering Latin Dance in 2010, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the connection between music, movement, and emotional expression.
Join me as we explore movement, musicality, and timing while building confidence, improving technique, and celebrating the joy of dance.

Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.
