There are two types of clubs at Fernbank - those that are run by outside vendors and those that are run by Fernbank staff or parents.
-
The vendor clubs each have their own registration system and payment processing. So, if you are signing up for more than one club, you will need to register for each club separately.
-
Fernbank staff and parent clubs are processed through our website's online store. You will pay once via the shopping cart for every Fernbank staff and parent club you are registering for.
THE TABS (with club names) ON THE SCHEDULE BELOW WILL DIRECT YOU TO REGISTRATION FOR EACH CLUB. Scroll down this page if you'd like to read club descriptions.
