In the vast, sun-baked plains of the Lone Star State, where armadillos roam and cowboys line-dance, a group of kids are turning Texas into a sports utopia. Every day, they gather at Sportsfield, a place so full of laughter, energy, and wild escapades that even the armadillos pause to watch. Yes, these kids, known as the 'Sportsfield Bandits,' are as Texas-tough and fun-loving as they come. Meet Billy "The Dynamo" Dawson, a ten-year-old with a cowboy hat permanently perched on his head. He can toss a football faster than a roadrunner fleeing from a coyote. Sally "Twinkle Toes" Anderson dances around soccer opponents with the grace of a prancing prairie pony. And let's not forget about the 'Griffin Twins,' Ricky and Vicky, who can hit a baseball right over the Rio Grande. These kids are the heart and soul of Sportsfield. The Bandits play under the watchful eye of their coach, Mr. Tumbleweed, a tumbleweed turned human by an old Texan wizard for his love of sports. He wears cowboy boots that are a size too large and a hat wider than any of the longhorns. Mr. Tumbleweed’s mustache, as wild as a West Texas wind, twitches in delight every time the Bandits score a point. His laughter, as hearty as a southwestern barbecue, resonates throughout Sportsfield, encouraging the kids to have as much fun as they possibly can. So, if you ever find yourself in Texas, follow the laughter and energy, and you'll arrive at Sportsfield - a place where Texan kids, armadillos, and a tumbleweed-turned-human run wild, turning every game into an unforgettable 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.
Since 1947, we have been offering a unique residential camping experience for individuals with disabilities. At Camp Summit, we focus on what our campers can do, rather than what they can't. We offer a variety of traditional camp activities, all of which are adapted to each individual's needs and abilities. Our facilities are completely barrier-free, and our staff is not only well-trained, but also deeply caring. Campers are grouped by age, allowing them to build friendships within their peer groups, all while having a great time and embarking on new adventures. Situated on a beautiful 460-acre plot in Paradise, Texas, just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Camp Summit is the ideal location for a safe and fun camping experience. We are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed as a Youth Camp in the State of Texas. Our campers may have physical challenges, developmental delays, dual-sensory impairments, or multiple disabilities. However, we welcome all campers, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, as long as we can medically meet their needs. We fully understand the concerns you may have about your child's safety and well-being, which is why we have an on-site medical staff and up-to-date nursing facilities. At Camp Summit, your child is in the best of hands. Our priority is not just to provide an enjoyable camping experience, but also to ensure the health and safety of all our campers, irrespective of their medical needs. So, you can relax, knowing your camper will be well taken care of.
