Environmental awareness is crucial as they foster a sense of responsibility for the planet. By teaching sustainability and conservation, they empower young people to make informed choices and become leaders in addressing environmental challenges.
We have integrated outdoor classroom curriculum into an annual Saturday Nature camp program. This camp is open to the public and is held outdoors utilizing exciting nature-based curriculum. Program activities focus on consequences of environmental stewardship, decision-making and leadership skills, and awareness of our local community. In addition, we host weekend camp sessions for members where classes focus on skills such as archery, canoes, nature, and crafts.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics are vital for preparing youth to thrive in a rapidly changing world. It combines technical skills, creativity, and problem-solving, fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation. STEAM not only equips students for high-demand careers in fields like AI and renewable energy but also inspires them to become leaders and problem-solvers who can tackle real-world challenges. By investing in STEAM, we empower the next generation to shape a brighter, more innovative future.
Youth members also participate in small group programs and learn both individual and collective decision-making skills. This helps them grow and learn to become good citizens in their communities through various learning projects. Diversity among SPARKS members creates a more positive learning environment, and one we can utilize to teach about strengths and weaknesses. Comprehensive youth programming provides lessons in learning more about themselves, discovering and growing new skills, their community and place within it, as well as how to create a positive impact on society through service learning.
