Keep Kids Moving All Summer Long
Whatever your summer program looks like — day camp, enrichment program, or credit recovery PE — SPARK has a ready-to-teach curriculum built for it. Activities work for mixed-age groups, any size space, and staff at any experience level.
Built for Summer Programs
Summer programs come with a unique set of challenges. SPARK gives your team a flexible framework for creating meaningful movement experiences in almost any summer setting.
Multiple Grade Levels, One Program
Activities include built-in modifications so a single leader can run one program across a wide age and skill range.
No Teaching Experience Required
The READY, SET, GO! lesson format means camp counselors, coaches, and non-licensed staff can pick up a lesson and lead it with confidence — no PE background needed.
Built for Any Space
From a gym to a cafeteria to a field to a parking lot, activities include modifications for limited space and large or small groups.
High-Energy, Low-Prep
Activities are designed to be active and engaging with minimal equipment and setup, so more time goes to play and less to planning.

Trusted by Educators
Teachers and administrators across the country share why SPARK makes a difference in their schools.
I've been using SPARK PE with my teachers for more than a decade. The lessons help get teachers on the same page within a district so that students are receiving the same competencies across schools. It offers common academic language and sound lesson structure and assessments aligned to national and state standards. It is a go-to resource when revising K-12 curriculum.
