Welcome to the enchanted land of Pennsylvania, or as us locals call it, The Keystone State! Imagine it like a colossal patchwork quilt, decorated with rolling hills, bountiful forests, and sparkling rivers. Amongst the quilt's threads, you'll discover countless trails perfect for hiking, and on those trails, you will meet the funniest bunch of adventurers, The Trekkie Tots! The Trekkie Tots are not ordinary kids, oh no! They have an unquenchable thirst for adventure and a knack for finding the extraordinary. They are like superheroes minus the capes, with their backpacks filled with trail mix and a spirit brimming with enthusiasm. No tree is too tall to climb, no creek too wide to cross, and no rock too large to scale for these audacious explorers. Their leader, an imaginary character named Chuckles, appears to be a grizzly bear on first glance, but he's a bear that can crack jokes and roll in laughter! Hiking with Chuckles is like being on a never-ending comedy show, only with added fresh air and exercise. With his jumbo-sized backpack full of whoopee cushions, banana-peels, and rubber chickens, he makes every hike a laugh-out-loud adventure. Together with Chuckles, the Trekkie Tots hike through Pennsylvania's magical landscapes, where every turn in the trail reveals a new sight, a new creature, or a new joke. Whether it's the thickly wooded Pocono Mountains, the wide-open vistas of the Appalachian Trail, or the stony paths of the Allegheny National Forest, they embrace the beauty and the humor that each new journey brings. So, Pennsylvania isn’t just a state. It’s a giggle-filled, adventure-packed, hiking haven for the Trekkie Tots and their jolly leader, Chuckles. So strap on your hiking boots, grab your trail mix, and let's hit the trail with the Trekkie Tots!

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.
