Beneath the great, sprawling expanse of the Texas sky, where the sun blazes like a mighty cowboy's campfire and the breeze whispers tales of the old west, a gang of plucky Texan kids gather. They’re not here to wrangle cattle or hunt for gold. Oh no, they’ve got a much more thrilling adventure in mind. They’re about to tackle the towering rope course at 'Rusty Rattlesnake's Rambunctious Rodeo', the wildest, wobbliest, most wowie-zowie rope course in the whole Lone Star State. First, there's Billy "The Bandit" Boots, a 10-year-old with a wild mop of hair as untamed as a bucking bronco. He’s as fearless as a rattlesnake in a square dance. Then comes Tex "Tornado" Tucker, on a whirlwind quest to conquer every rope, every net, and every zip-line that dares cross his path. Tagging along is Lil' Lasso Lucy, the youngest of the bunch, but with a heart as mighty as a longhorn steer. Dusty trails of laughter follow them as they climb higher and higher, navigating through rickety bridges and swinging ropes, their excitement echoing off the vast plains of Texas. They clamber with the tenacity of tumbleweeds in a windstorm, eyes gleaming with determination and wild Texas grit. Suddenly, there's a rustle, a chuckle, a tumble of cowboy boots. It’s their imaginary friend, Rusty Rattlesnake himself, sliding down a zip-line with a wild whoop! He's as slippery as a greased piglet on fair day, and twice as mischievous. "Y'all better hold on to your cowboy hats!" Rusty hoots, his laughter spinning into the hot Texas air. And with that, the adventure continues, as the sun dips low over the Texans' daring rope course escapade under the watchful eyes of their sneaky snake pal.

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.

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.
