Preschool – Grade 5

Bridge the gap between the school year and summer break with Spark, an energetic nine-day extension program designed specifically for our younger learners. Children may join for one day, five days or all nine.

We know that the transition from the classroom to the camp season can be a whirlwind for families. Spark is here to create that much-needed space, offering a “pre-camp” experience that keeps students engaged, active, and inspired while parents finalize their summer preparations. From high-energy field games to quiet moments of creative discovery, Spark is the great way to kick off the season of fun.

What to Expect

Our schedule is thoughtfully crafted to balance physical activity, artistic expression, and essential downtime. Each day is a new adventure featuring:

  • Athletics & Action: Students will hit Leggett Field for morning games, sharpen their skills in the gym for Basketball and Soccer, and compete in the fan-favorite Gaga Ball
  • Creative Arts: From Tie-Dye Bags and Sand Art to the whimsical “Make Your Own Hat” sessions, our “Crafty Creators” will have plenty of projects to bring home.
  • Innovation & Rhythm: Kids can explore the Imagination Discovery Lab for hands-on STEAM learning or find their groove with Starstruck Hip Hop.
  • Summer Classics: We’ve built in plenty of Waterplay to stay cool and an epic Last Day Grand Finale to celebrate the end of our journey together.
