In the mystical land of NY, also known as the Empire State, where skyscrapers stretch towards the sky and apple trees grow bigger than bear hugs, live a band of kids with a special kind of magic. They are the Arrow Avengers! A ragtag team of bow and arrow aficionados that could hit a bull's eye with an apple stem if you dared them to. Their leader? A funny, quirky character named Benny "Bulls-Eye" Brundlebop. Benny, with his comical headgear that somehow combined a baseball cap with an old-timey sheriff's hat, was just as likely to be found cracking jokes as he was to be demonstrating his archery prowess. The twinkle in his eye was as sharp as his arrows. Benny was the heart of NY's archery scene, leading his team of merry marksmen and markswomen through the concrete jungle and parks of NY. From the foothills of Adirondacks to the hustle and bustle of Times Square, these kids made NY their playground, with their bows and arrows never far away. Benny and the Arrow Avengers were heroes of a different kind. No dragons to slay or princesses to rescue, their mission was to keep the spirit of archery alive, spreading laughter, joy, and the thrill of hitting that perfect bulls-eye. Their laughter echoed off the NY skyline, as they traded jokes, challenged each other in friendly archery competitions, and occasionally, accidentally shot an apple off a hot dog stand. In a city that never sleeps, the Arrow Avengers were the apple of NY's eye, bringing a unique flavor of fun to the Big Apple.

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.

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.
