Energy’s Vacation Camp

Energy promotes nurture and empowerment as key in supporting children in becoming the best they can be physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

We use gymnastics as a medium for physical fitness and strive to create an environment where children are shown respect and feel safe, are challenged, and develop ownership of physical skills.

Classes are structured, but not rigid, so that children can channel their energy in an optimal environment.

This approach is empowering and allows children to explore beyond their comfort level, resulting in an outstanding, confident, and self-assured young person.

Yes, all regular gymnastics classes will still be in session.

There is opportunity for friends to be grouped together! Groups are made weeks in advance so please be sure to request this.

Please note, on occasion it may get difficult to honor that request due to a number of reason (number of campers, number of other group requests, age of campers, skill level, etc.

We will always do our best to achieve all requests.

Also note, there will be ample time throughout the camp day where students will be together. They will play games, arts & crafts, open gym, and more together!

Groups are mainly for the gymnastics portion of the day.

Energy does not supply lunches or morning snacks.

Ready for Gymnastics

• Leotard or Comfortable Tight Fitting Clothing

• Ponytail

• Barefoot (no socks)

  • Cheerleaders may wear specified cheer gym shoes

• No jewelry

Hair

It is essential that gymnasts’ with long hair pull their hair back. They can wear their hair in a ponytail, bun, braid, or any hairstyle where it isn’t going to get in the way.

When long hair is worn down it can get in the gymnasts’ face or caught by the gymnasts’ hands or feet when performing skills.

Feet

The majority of gymnasts both practice and compete with bare feet. Socks can create a safety hazard as they are often slippery on the apparatus. It can also prevent the gymnast from using their toes to push, climb, and learn how to grip apparatuses with their toes when performing skills.

While we do not recommend this, sometimes families opt to wear non-slip socks. Because non-slip socks aren’t all made the same, it still can create a safety hazard as socks are prone to move around due to a number of factors: fit size, amount of grip surface, socks elasticity, etc.

Attire

Gymnasts’ can choose to wear Leotards, Comfortable Tight Fitting Clothes such as T-Shirt, Tanks, Shorts, Leggings, etc.

Most gymnasts choose to wear a leotard to work out in as it allows the gymnast to move easily. However, this is not required.

Shorts

Many gymnasts feel more comfortable practicing with shorts over their leotard. It is recommended that gymnasts wear tight fitting shorts in order to prevent from being caught on equipment.

Loose Fitting Clothing

Loose fitting clothing can present a safety hazard as it can get caught by the gymnasts’ hands, feet, or an apparatus when performing different exercises/skills.

Jewelry

Often gymnasts want to wear jewelry at practice. However, watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings (other than studs) all present a safety hazard as they could get caught on the equipment.

Energy Fitness & Gymnastics classes are based on a 15-level syllabus and over 2000 developmental skill progressions, which instructors use to develop their class structure, evaluate children, and create a fun, safe, and challenging physical environment.

Each level challenges students progressively, introducing more difficult skills as the child advances through each level.

By breaking down the development of gymnastic skills into these levels, we have created one of the most comprehensive, challenging, and fun program designs in the country.
