In the adventurous landscapes of Pennsylvania, where the earth is painted with the vibrant shades of nature and the air smells like a blend of chocolate from Hershey's and cheesesteak from Philly, you'll find a group of kids who are as wacky as a six-legged penguin, who engage in the most thrilling activity you can imagine - boating and canoeing! Meet Captain Wobblebeard, the quirky, imaginary guide and the coolest dude in the entire Keystone State. With a beard as wavy as the Delaware River and a laugh that reminds you of a walrus in roller skates, Wobblebeard is the jolliest, most eccentric boating expert you could ever dream of. Now, these aren't your ordinary boating kids; they're the paddling prodigies of PA, the canoeing champions of the Commonwealth. They can paddle faster than squirrels can scamper up a tree and navigate better than a homing pigeon on a mission. They are as brave as a bear, agile as a mountain lion, and they've got a sense of direction that would make a compass blush with shame. One minute they're gliding through the glimmering waters of Lake Erie, the next they're racing down the Youghiogheny River like a bunch of beavers late for a dam-building contest. With Captain Wobblebeard leading their hilarious escapades, it's a riot of laughter, splashy thrills, and unforgettable adventures. So, if you're ever in the glorious state of Pennsylvania, and you hear a commotion by the waterside, followed by a hearty laugh that sounds like a turkey choking on a corn cob, it's probably Captain Wobblebeard and our gang of boating kids, off on another wild ride on the waters of their playground, the beautiful state of Pennsylvania.

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.
