Deep in the heart of the Cheesy Wonderland, better known as the state of Wisconsin, you'll find a group of adventurous munchkins, the Hiking Hobgoblins of WI! These gutsy little guys and gals absolutely love to explore the wilderness, always armed with their trusty cheesehead hats for protection and inspiration. Each morning, with the rising sun as their alarm clock, the Hiking Hobgoblins of WI set off on their newest adventure. The rolling hills, dense forests, and sparkling lakes of Wisconsin are their playground. Their leader, a loveable and goofy fellow named Sir Gouda Giggles, guides them through the wilderness with an infectious laughter that seems to echo through the valleys. Wisconsin is an adventurer's dream, rich with towering trees older than your great-great-grandparents, bountiful wildlife that'll have your eyes popping, and trails that wind like a never-ending jigsaw puzzle. And don't even get me started on the lakes! They are so clear and blue, you'd swear they are giant mirrors reflecting the sky! The Hiking Hobgoblins laugh, play and explore, turning every rock, sniffing every flower, and greeting every woodland creature they meet. They are fearless, curious, and always hungry for their favorite snack, Wisconsin's world-famous cheese! After all, every adventurer needs fuel, and what's better than a chunk of squeaky, delicious cheese to keep the energy levels high? So, if you're ever in Wisconsin and hear a burst of laughter echoing from the hills, just smile and wave. You might just spot the red cheesehead hats of the Hiking Hobgoblins of WI, bobbing in the distance, off on another grand adventure.

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 House In The Wood, we believe in the power of nature to help children and young adults grow and develop. We understand that a safe and natural setting can be just as formative as the urban environment. That’s why our program focuses on introducing adult role models who can provide essential guidance and serve as positive examples of responsibility and leadership. We strive to create a positive atmosphere that allows young people from underserved communities to be themselves and thrive. Our Summer Camp, Outdoor Education, and Leader In Training programs are designed to help disrupt generational poverty and foster growth and responsibility in our children and young adults. With the ultimate goal of returning these young people to their communities prepared for leadership roles, House In The Wood has been empowering children and building strong communities since 1910.
