In the quirky land of Maine, where the moose roam free and the lobsters perform daily salsa dances underwater, there exists a vibrant army of kids, who are known as the “Wild Adventurers”. These little explorers, equipped with their magical hiking boots and enchanted binoculars, spend their days interacting with the treasure that is nature. Our mischievous guide on this grand adventure is a jolly, bespectacled moose named Monty. Monty is not your average moose, oh no. This moose has the ability to speak in a British accent that could charm the squirrels right out of their trees and he wears neon-green hiking boots, not exactly the typical moose attire. Monty has a heart as big as a sunflower and he is particularly fond of Maine's little explorers. These bold Wild Adventurers are known for their audacious escapades, climbing the tallest pine trees and diving into the deepest blueberry bushes. They paddle their canoes in the vast lakes, fish with the otters, and have friendly maple syrup chugging contests with Monty. They feel the cool breeze in their hair, the fresh pine smell in their noses, and the whispers of the wind as it rustles through the leaves, telling tales of past adventures. These kids aren't just playing; they're learning the language of the wilderness, acquiring morsels of wisdom from the forest themselves. They’re connecting with nature, and in the process, they're proving that it isn't just about the outdoors; it's about finding magic and adventure in the unexpected. It's about giggles under starry nights, high fives with beavers and s’mores that have a little too much marshmallow. But most of all, it’s about creating memories, one Maine adventure at a time.

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.
