- Creating a safe environment based on equality and compassion
Location: SPARK Squad is located at our facility on the Shore Community Center side of the building adjacent to City Hall off 5th St.
Attendance Limit: 80 students- SPARK Squad strives to stay at or above the recommended 10:1 student to leader ratio for safety and quality of the program in the facility we have. For wait list requests, email Youthprograms@sacpa.org

Transportation: We have a district-owned van for transportation that we use for the furthest stop at 9th & B for Hamilton students, and have pick-up at 5th & Chase where leaders meet and walk to SPARK Squad. This stop is offered currently by Franklin and Jefferson schools. Roosevelt students are currently being dropped off at 5th & Chambers and walking with a leader to SPARK Squad or being picked up by our van. For more details email Youthprograms@sacpa.org.

Daily Activities: Each day, SPARK will include group games, leadership and team-building activities, reading time, arts & crafts, science experiments, free play time, & swimming!
Swimming: SAC does not provide swimsuits and towels for each SPARK Squad child. We have extra swimsuits, but we encourage parents to send children’s own swimsuits and towels and we will wash and dry and put back in their personal cubby after each swim.
We currently offer SPARK swim lessons on a 2x/week schedule, M/W or T/Th; each child is tested and placed in an appropriate level upon registration. Additionally, we have open swim time every Friday with the SPARK leaders 3:30-4:30pm.
Snacks: SPARK Squad participates in the USDA Food Service program; a healthy snack will be provided each day when kids arrive or after swim lessons. Additionally, we do provide gluten and dairy-free options.
