What we do....
SPARK (Student Pathways to Adventure, Resilience and Knowledge) is an after-school and summer program that aims to reduce and prevent substance use among teens (or grades 6 & up) by teaching life-skills, improving social and emotional tools and getting kids excited about life. We offer programming in things like:
|
Outdoor adventure: mountain biking rock climbing kayaking etc... Music guitar drumming school of rock etc... |
Visual arts: painting drawing pottery etc... Gaming role playing table games video games etc... |
Outdoor recreation: fishing archery fly fishing etc... Sports basketball baaga’adowewin kickball etc... |
Performing arts: theater improv puppetry etc... Practical skills: cooking camping survival skills etc... |
and of course, plenty of dodgeball, kickball and capture the flag.
Really, the only limit is our imagination.
If your child has a genuine interest, we will find some way to help them pursue it.

Where we do it...

United Presbyterian Congregational Church
This year, we will be running the SPARK after-school program out of the Youth Center of the United Presbyterian Church at 214 Vaughn Ave. SPARK has no religious affiliation. The church has been kind enough to allow us to rent their very comfortable space which includes a pool table, ping pong table, screen with projector, comfy furniture and a kitchen. |
The Bretting Community Center
Our new location at the Presbyterian Church is also right across the street from the Bretting Community Center where we have access to, and regularly use the gym, skatepark, ball fields and rec room. 400 4th St W. Ashland, WI 54806 |
