Meet the state of Oregon, fondly known as OR! OR is a bright, cheerful place, wearing a green hat of forests and a blue scarf of rivers. It's full of adventurous landscapes, including high mountains where it plays hide-and-seek with the clouds, and long, sunny beaches where it builds sandcastles with the Pacific Ocean. OR loves to laugh, and its laughter sounds like the chatter of waterfalls and the whisper of wind through tall, ancient trees. Now, let me introduce you to the amazing swimming kids of OR, the "Splashing Beavers!" Named after Oregon's state animal, these kids know how to make a splash. With their super sleek swim gear and goggles that could see underwater secrets, they resemble cool aquatic superheroes. Their secret power? Turning water into a playground! The leader of the pack is Billy "Blue Splash" Beaver. Billy, with his rampant red hair and freckles, could make you giggle just by wiggling his eyebrows. He's got a laugh that's louder than the highest waterfall in OR, and a heart as big as Crater Lake. Then, there's Daisy "Dolphin Dive" Beaver, a girl with a twinkle in her eye and a smile that can outshine the brightest Oregon sunflower. Once she dives into the water, she transforms into a graceful dolphin, her giggles bubbling like a cheerful brook. Together with their team, they swim through the magical blue veins of OR, creating a ruckus of laughs and splashes. Sometimes, you can hear OR chuckling along with them, tickled by their buoyant spirits. Through their adventures, these Splashing Beavers prove that in Oregon, you don't swim in the water, you dance with it!

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.
