Seattle’s only summer camp led entirely by certified Seattle Public Schools teachers. Three unique weeks of Sports, Arts & Science — small groups, big adventures.
Every day weaves all three together — no two days look the same, and every kid finds something they love.
Screen-free gym games, team challenges, and minute-to-win-it competitions — built around teamwork and fun. Every Friday is Water Day — the week’s most anticipated splash-filled adventure!
Hands-on creative projects that spark imagination. Mixed media, free creation, and unique ideas celebrated daily. Grades 3–6 design and take home a tie-dye t-shirt!
A brand-new science adventure every week! Explore, build, and engineer through hands-on projects that ignite curiosity. Each session has its own unique theme.
All three SPARTS staff members are certified SPS teachers — not college students or seasonal hires. Mr. Kellum, Mx. Emory, and Ms. Nuutinen bring real classroom expertise, years of experience working with K–6 students, and a genuine passion for making learning feel like play. All staff are CPR certified and have completed background checks — because every child's safety comes first.
We keep camper groups intentionally small so every child gets personal attention. No lost kids in the crowd — just a warm, inclusive community where every child finds meaningful connections, new friends, and room to shine.
Unlike camps that focus on just one thing, every SPARTS day blends Sports, Arts, and Science — so whether your child is an athlete, an artist, or a budding engineer, they'll find their thing — and build real problem-solving skills along the way.
Each week has a completely different science theme, so kids can attend multiple weeks and have a brand new experience every time. Many of our families sign up for all three!
We believe every child deserves an incredible summer. Limited scholarships are available first-come, first-served — email connect.active4life@gmail.com to inquire.
A safe, familiar school environment your family already knows and trusts. Drop-off 9:00–9:15 AM, pick-up 3:00 PM daily — right on the playground.
“SPARTS is such a great value for money. The teachers are fantastic and provide so much creative fun for the kids. Easily one of our favorite camps every summer.”
— Matthew H.
“My kids loved SPARTS camp! There is a great balance of activities to keep their bodies moving (PE) and engage their minds (science and art). The teachers switch up the activities and theme each week so campers can join multiple weeks and it still feels new. My kids can't wait to go next year.”
— Adrienne W.
