Camps in our Expanded Space will have a trip to Airborne Trampoline on Thursday afternoon in weeks 1, 3, 5, 7 & 9. Camps in our Original Space will have a trip to Airborne Trampoline Thursday afternoon in weeks 2, 4, 6 & 8. In order to attend these weeks, you must complete Airborne's waiver for your children that will be attending camp. Drop off and pick up for these weeks will both take place at Playgrounds, as they will be transported to and from Airborne on a school bus, accompanied by at least one of our coaches during their outing.

During camps, kids learn and train to perform core parkour skills and apply them through obstacle courses and games. Lava tag can get quite intense when you are skilled in parkour! Each day is action packed, both with energy burning games as well as quieter games and activities for break times.
Full day camps include two snack breaks and a lunch break. Morning camp includes two snack/eating breaks (they will have some time to eat at the start of lunch time before packing their bag for home). Afternoon camp includes one snack break, as they are arriving at the end of the lunch period. However, as needed afternoon campers can bring a lunch or snack to eat upon drop off. Please alert the coaches at afternoon drop off if your child is to eat right away.
Food for lunches and snacks is not included. Please send your campers with (nut free) food!
What to Wear: clothes that are easy to move in; no jeans or hanging jewelry.
What to Bring: Indoor running shoes, a labeled water bottle, sunscreen (in case we go outside) and food for snacks & and lunch as applicable. Please keep in mind that due to the increased physical activity, they may require more food than you would typically pack!
As desired, some personal items such as books may be brought as a quiet activity. As parkour is an active sport, we do take breaks throughout the day from running and jumping around!
We will be offering a selection of snacks campers can purchase during lunch and second break. Snacks will have a $1 spending limit per day, excluding Gatorade. Money can be sent with campers to purchase snacks and/or Gatorade if desired. Our offerings will include the following:
Mott's Fruitsations Packet - $.25
Kirkland Chocolate Chip Granola Bar - $.25
Small Freezie - $.25
Gatorade -$2
For those attending camp in our expanded space, purchases from the vending machine will be allowed during lunch and second break. However, no purchases of coffee/energy drinks will be permitted.
Additional Details:
We will add to/adjust camp information as needed in order to reflect any regulations applicable to camp by the program date. Any changes will be communicated to those registered in camp.
For the health and safety of all staff and participants, we ask that you do not send your child if they are sick.
If symptoms develop during the day, any campers from that household may be sent home.
Please send each child with their own labeled water bottle.
Refund & cancellation policies:
If refunds for camp programs are required for any reason, refunds requested more than 1 week before the start of the camp will be issued less a 5% admin fee. If the refund request is within 1 week of the start of the camp, we will issue a 50% refund of the cost only. No refunds will be offered within 48 hours of the start of the camp week.
Programs cancelled due to extreme weather, as well as programs missed for personal non-emergency reasons will not be rescheduled or refunded.
