SPARC Summer Fun is BACK!

Voted Best Summer Camps in Richmond Magazine, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Style Weekly!

Summer 2021 is finally here, and SPARC is so excited to bring our popularaward-winning summer camps back to you and your family! What better way to spend part of your summer than singing, acting, dancing, and learning new skills with old and new friends alike?

Summer camps will look a little different this year, but we’ve worked hard to ensure that campers have an unforgettable SPARC experience! Of course that means fun, but it also means safety, so please read the information below to see what SPARC is doing to help provide our community with safer camp options this year.

We’re also excited for you to use our new camp registration platform to easily view and register for as many camps as you’d like, and for the first time be able to split your payments into automatic installments!

COVID-19 Safety Protocols

  • We are shrinking camp sizes to help with social distancing throughout the camp day.
  • In most cases, only one SPARC camp will take place at each location to minimize the number of contacts made at camp. No location will host more than two SPARC camps at a time. Students in separate camps at a shared location will remain with their own camp group and will not mix with students in other on-site camps.
  • Campers and staff must pass a health check each morning before joining the group. This involves taking temperatures, checking for signs/symptoms of COVID-19, and confirming that each person has not been recently exposed to anyone with COVID-19 or active COVID-like symptoms.
  • Face coverings are required to be worn over the nose and mouth throughout the camp day, indoors and outdoors.
  • Snack and lunch will be held outside and at a social distance for increased safety during these unmasked times, weather permitting.
  • More instruction will take place outdoors throughout the day.
  • More frequent bathroom/handwashing/hand sanitization breaks are planned throughout the day.
  • Final performances will be filmed, rather than shared for a live audience. This will ensure that we are keeping gathering sizes to a controlled number at each location.
  • High-touch surfaces will be disinfected regularly throughout the day. Minimal items will be shared between campers and will be disinfected between uses.

Financial Aid Available

Students are never turned away from any SPARC program because of the inability to afford tuition. Each year, over 100 students are awarded financial aid based on need, totaling over $40,000 in tuition support.
