Once upon a time, in the sun-splashed, heartwarming state of Alabama (or AL as we adorably call it), there's a quirky bunch of kids. They are the superheroes of imagination, the wizards of creativity- they are the 'Art & Crafts' kids! They wield paintbrushes like wands, splash colors like magic, and mold clay like it's a piece of cake! Our hero is a googly-eyed, big-hearted fluffball named Artie. He's not your usual hero; he's made of paintbrushes and crayons! He's got a pencil for a nose, googly eyes, and a body that's a burst of colors. He’s a funny, charming little fellow who loves to giggle, especially when tickled with a feather paintbrush! In the magical land of AL, the kids and Artie are always up to something. Moving hands as swift as hummingbird wings, they create magic with glue, glitter, paper, and paint. Transforming mundane things into things of beauty, they make rainbows look pale with their artwork. The kids love Artie, and Artie adores the kids. Together, they explore the limitless universe of creativity, where each craft is a new adventure. They journey on paper boats, live in cardboard castles, and create an enchanting world that only they understand. Each day is a riot of colors, a symphony of creativity, and a cacophony of laughter. And, oh boy, the mess they make! But in AL, messy is the new cool. And so, Artie and his gang, with their vivid imaginations and artful hands, paint the town red... and blue... and green... and every color you can think of! Together, they make Alabama the most vibrant and happiest state in the world.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.


At Camp St. Bernard, we strive to make sure that each camper feels welcome and at home. We are a family here, and our staff is made up of alumni and current students who have a deep connection to the campus. Every day brings a chance to make new friends, try new things, and spend quality time with familiar faces. We offer a range of activities, from sports to arts and crafts, and our spiritual component is rooted in the Catholic faith but open to campers of all backgrounds. What's more, our meals are cooked by a monk and cater to most dietary restrictions, so everyone is well-fed and ready to have fun. To ensure that parents can keep up with their children's experience, we take pictures every day and post them in the evening. Our residence halls are cozy and comfortable, and we do our best to accommodate roommate requests. Ultimately, we want campers to feel like they are part of something special at Camp St. Bernard. We are a family, and we invite you to join us!
