Welcome to the shimmering shores and glistening waves of California, a sun-drenched paradise where the trees sway to the beat of the Pacific Ocean and the skies paint a tableau of pastel hues as the sun bows out every evening. It's a place where dreams come true, where the stars in Hollywood's Walk of Fame twinkle just as bright as the ones in the sky, and where a gaggle of adventurous kids don their snorkels for a splashing good time. Meet the Snorkel Squad, a band of quirky kids who live to explore the underwater mysteries of the Golden State. Leading the squad is the dashing Captain Kelp, a boy with a mop of sun-bleached hair and a smile as bright as a sea star. His laugh is as infectious as a dolphin's chatter and his bravery as legendary as the great white sharks they occasionally encounter. Captain Kelp and his merry band of underwater explorers dive deep into the ocean's depths, where they dance with the flamboyant Garibaldi fish, exchange secrets with wise old sea turtles, and play tag with playful sea lions. Armed with their trusty snorkels, they navigate through kelp forests as towering as skyscrapers, revealing a world teeming with color, life, and the occasional grumpy crab. In California, where the landscapes are as diverse as the people who call it home, the Snorkel Squad finds the greatest treasures not on land, but beneath the ocean's surface. And so, they spend their sunny days making fishy friends, evading ticklish tendrils of sea anemones, and hunting for lost pirate gold, all while leaving bubbles of laughter trailing behind them. Snorkelling in California isn't just a sport - it's a wild, wet, and wonderfully wacky 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.

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.

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.
The Channel Islands Boating Center (CIBC) opened its doors in April 2013 to provide Ventura County’s youth and adults with educational and recreational boating opportunities. In addition to teaching boating skills and safety techniques, the CIBC also serves as a resource to help families gain an understanding of the local marine environment. When you visit the CIBC, you will find the lobby filled with interactive and passive exhibits about the Channel Islands Marine environment and natural history. These exhibits provide a great opportunity for families to learn about current preservation efforts and the impact we have on the environment. The CIBC welcomes individuals and groups to come and visit the center. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned boater, the CIBC offers the perfect opportunity to learn about the local marine environment and gain valuable boating experience.
