Every kid deserves a shot at sports and learning.
Spark Kids runs affordable camps that pair tennis and running with hands-on classes, so kids build real skills — on the court and in the classroom — without their family taking on a big cost to find out what they love.
Why we started Spark Kids
When kids are small, parents want them to try different sports and subjects — but figuring out what a kid loves shouldn't cost a fortune.
Classes are expensive
Private lessons, club fees, and enrichment programs put sports and learning out of reach for a lot of families.
Kids just want to try it
Most kids don't know what they'll love — a sport, a subject — until they've tried it. That shouldn't cost full price to find out.
Not available everywhere
Quality coaching and enrichment classes for every age group aren't offered in every neighborhood.
Materials add up
Shoes, rackets, and class supplies are one more cost on top of registration — and often the reason a kid sits out.
What we're working toward
- ✓Run free and low-cost camps so trying a sport or a new subject never costs a family more than they can afford.
- ✓Raise funds for equipment and class materials for kids who need them.
- ✓Teach real skills that help kids grow into confident young athletes and curious learners.
- ✓Give every kid a chance to compete and to learn, no matter their starting skill level.
A day at camp
Our flagship format splits the morning evenly between sports and classroom learning.
Tennis & running
Campers warm up with jump ropes, then split into groups for tennis and running — swapping sports each day.
Classes
We drive campers to our classroom, where they rotate through Chinese folktales, book club, and science.
Help us reach more kids
Every donation goes toward camp scholarships, sports gear, and class materials for kids who need them.
