Camp Philosophy
To promote health and well-being through gymnastics in a safe, fun, and engaging
environment.
Gymnastics - Skills being taught as well as equipment will be age appropriate. Skills should
be at a level where children can succeed, but still be challenged.
Arts &Crafts - Projects will be age-appropriate,to be completed with care and safety.
Every camper should get to bring something that he or she is proud of at the end of the
week.
Learning Activity- Activities shall be relevant to the world going on around them. The
general concept is more important than specifics, as this is not school
Traffic Control Plan

A written plan relating to the control of the movement of vehicular traffic through the camp shall be on file.
Parents will be reminded to drop off and pick up in the rear of the building where there is
much less traffic. Parents are required to walk their child into the building thus reducing

building to pick up their child from camp.
