THE
SPARK CLUB
Ember & Root After School Enrichment Program
Grades 1–6 | Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3:30–5:30 PM
At The Spark Club, we’ve created a space where curious, self-driven, and creative-thinking young people can:
-
Pursue their own projects with the support of skilled facilitators
-
Explore hands-on, highly engaging workshops in tech, art, science, and engineering
-
Make meaningful choices about how they spend their time
-
Be part of a small group community that values individuality and be given a space to showcase it!
If your child is always inventing, building, asking questions, crafting, experimenting, creating, or teaching themselves new skills—they’ll feel right at home here.
Enrollment
Families can choose to enroll for one or two days per week, depending on your needs and availability. Drop-in sessions may be available to enrolled students if space allows. You can attend all year, take breaks, or just come for one--whatever works best for your family.
5 six week sessions
Our program year is divided into 5 six week sessions* . Each session will feature an engaging theme that helps shape the projects, invitations, and workshop ideas—but choice and personal interests will always be what guides how your child spends his or her time.
Whether they want to code, cook, build, act, draw, invent, or do something completely unexpected, we support them in following what excites them most.

SAMPLE LEARNER EXPERIENCES
Nile, Ty, Joon, Kiersten, and Aly, varying ages
After seeing a demo on coding robots to play tag, five learners dive into programming. A facilitator points them to the Spark Wall, where different versions of tag are posted. Intrigued, they explore the options—and when the lawn opens, they teach themselves a new version and bring it to life.
