Enrollment for camp opens at 12:00am on March 1st. Many of our camps usually fill up very quickly, so if you know which weeks you will need for the summer we recommend you enroll as soon as possible after enrollment goes live. Even if the camp is full by the time you go to enroll, go ahead and get on the waitlist as some spots do open up as people change their plans and we finalize the numbers and staffing.

Our minimum age requirement for summer camp is 5 years old. Generally our oldest campers are around 12-13 years old. Our camp is separated into two with 5-7 year olds making up the younger camp and 8+ making up the older.

We cannot guarantee a spot to anyone on the waitlist as it can be very unpredictable when and if something will become available. However, in our experience things happen and people will need to cancel their enrollment for various reasons which will open up a spot for those on the waitlist. We go down the waitlist on a first come first serve basis which means that those who were first to get on the waitlist will get priority.

We understand that for parents and campers alike seeing the facility before camp starts can be an important step in feeling comfortable and confident in starting their first day of camp, especially for those that are completely new to ACM. We cannot offer tours during times of operation when summer camp, after school or classes are happening. We will be offering a general invitation to all families for an open tour/info session before summer camp starts. If you are unable to attend this, but would still be interested in a tour we can set up an individual tour before or after our hours of operation. Please understand that we do not allow parents in the gym during our regular hours of operation as our staff are generally too busy to accompany a parent through the building and it creates a safety/liability risk to have parents walking through the gym unescorted. Thus, we ask all our staff to stick to our “no parents in the gym” policy and our families to respect the policy.

Please ensure that you have completed all camp paperwork before the first day of camp. You will receive a reminder email with links to complete this through the iClass parent portal. You should read and agree to our summer camp policies, enter in any medical information for your child, and include all authorized people who can pick up your child. You will also receive an email with information about the week’s activities and a link to a form to select activities that your child would like to sign up for.

1. Water bottle (no glass allowed at all)

2. Bathing suit and water shoes (if your child would like to participate in water play)

3. Towel

4. Extra change of clothes

5. Lunch (no peanut products)

6. Snacks (no peanut products)

7. Sunscreen

8. Optional Items: Hat, gymnastics attire, money for concessions, sunblock t-shirt

The following is a general schedule for a typical day of camp. Depending on the week, age group, or day of the week it may look slightly different (Monday does not have a movement activity and Friday has an end of week party instead of Workshops). However, it should give you and your child a general idea of what to expect.

Every week of camp is centered around a different theme. With each theme comes specific crafts, games or activities that are special to that week. Along with the special activities there are also a wide range of recurring activities from week to week. Many of these activities are gym favorites such as perpetual tag, knock the cones, gaga ball, dance, and of course gymnastics.

Yes! For every week of camp you are enrolled in you will receive a form to sign up for activities. You will see a list of choices for Movement Activity and workshops for every day they are available. You will rank your choice from first to last. Sign ups are first come first serve and once an activity is at capacity campers will be placed in the next preferred activity. We do offer most activities multiple times a week so the likelihood of your child getting to do most of the activities they prefer is very high. Please also be aware that if the form is not filled out before the given date then the child will be placed in whatever activity is still available.

Simply put, our staff are kind and empathetic people who love working with children and helping them learn and grow in a safe environment. We perform background checks on our staff and have them follow strict guidelines that help them set and maintain healthy boundaries between them and the children. We run extensive training with our staff before camp to help them understand how to handle conflict mediation, follow safety precautions and respond to emergencies among other things. Many of our camp counselors have been with us for a long time as gymnastics coaches or after school staff so they are equipped with many years of working with children. Several of our staff are also CPR and first aid certified and we will have a certified staff member in the building at all times.

We do not provide lunch, parents are asked to send their child to camp with a lunch. We do provide a small snack in the morning. We also provide a snack to all our full day campers in the afternoon around 3:00. However, we still recommend that parents pack a snack for the children in addition to lunch if they do not like the snacks provided.

We also have concessions available for purchase. Most of our snacks cost $1 each and we are happy to provide a list of available snacks for purchase with prices upon request.

Last summer we partnered with BCS summer meals program for them to provide free lunches to any interested families. We would be happy to partner again with them this summer, however we do not yet have information from them regarding summer 2026. As soon as we know more information about this coming summer we will send it out to families.

Yes! We have an early drop off option for both Full Day and Short Day camps. If you are Full Day but need to drop off your child before 8:00am, we provide 7:45-8:00 drop off for $25 for the week. If you are Short Day but need to drop off your child before 9:00 we offer an 8:00-9:00 drop off for $50 for the week.

The primary difference between Full Day and Short Day are the times they run. For full day campers, drop off is as early as 8:00 (7:45 if signed up for early drop off) and for short day drop off begins at 9:00 (early drop off is available at an additional charge). Short Day ends at 3:00 with pick-up ending at 3:15. Full Day camp runs until 6:00, but pick up can be anytime between 3:00 and 6:00. After 3:00 Full Day campers transition to a more relaxed schedule which includes free play, snack time, arts and crafts or group games.

Campers are grouped by age. While the camp is divided into two by age, the 5-7 and 8+ camp are then divided into smaller groups for group activities and lunchtime. Each group will have a counselor to lead it. This allows each camper to have a designated counselor they can go to for help/support and who is familiar with them and their specific needs. While they will not stay with their group for the whole day they will have a group activity every day which helps campers bond with each other. Small groups will be by age, which means most five year olds will be in a group with other five year olds, six/seven year olds grouped together and so on. Generally a group of very young children will be maxed out at 7-8 kids, while a group of older campers may contain up to 12-13 depending on the group.

We follow a 10:1 ratio. This means that for every 10 campers at the gym there will one staff member. Depending on the activity or age a group may exceed 10 campers with one staff member running it (for example a simple downtime activity and some arts and crafts activities where children are still and confined to a classroom or specified area). At times it may also be necessary to limit the number of campers to an activity to less than 10 in order to ensure safety and allow our staff to properly supervise an activity. Additionally, many activities that include more than 10 campers and are very active will have at least two counselors supervising.

Our swim field trip enrollment will open up closer to the beginning of summer camp after we have finalized the arrangements for the location and dates. We will send out an iClass link once the field trips are made available. Please be aware that the current age limit is set to 7 years old minimum. If your child is younger than that we may make exceptions on a case by case basis.

If you need to cancel your camp enrollment, please do so AT LEAST two weeks prior to the start date of camp as that is when payment is drafted in full. 

A $100.00 non-refundable and non-transferable deposit per week is required at time of enrollment to hold your child’s spot in camp for each week you are signed up. This deposit cannot be transferred to another week of camp if a change of week is required and will not be refunded if you need to cancel camp for any reason so please make sure you are certain of the weeks you will need before you enroll. Full payment is taken two weeks before each camp week starts. If payment is not made in full by this time the camper’s enrollment will be cancelled with no refund of registration fee or deposit.

We do not currently take any childcare vouchers. We are open to arranging financial assistance or alternative payment plans depending on need. This is done on a case by case basis and is arranged directly with the office.

We currently offer a 10% sibling discount for any camp week where both siblings are enrolled for the same week. We also have a 10% discount for campers who are also enrolled for a full summer of classes (this does not apply for pro-rated, drop-in classes or team.

We take allergies very seriously and will do our best to be as accommodating as possible. We are a peanut free facility and we ask that parents share any allergies (specifically food allergies) their children have through our camp paperwork so that we can be made aware of them beforehand and ensure the safety and health of the camper in whatever ways are necessary. 

Please communicate with us beforehand if your camper requires prescription medication during camp hours. Medication must be left with the Camp Manager and clearly labeled with the child's name and in the original package.

Some of our weeks of camp do have food components where children prepare and eat the food they make. If your child is attending a week of camp that will contain food we will be sure to communicate what the food will be and can provide ingredient lists upon request. You should also be sure to make us aware beforehand through camp paperwork whether your child has any dietary restrictions so that we can make sure there are options for them if need be. Our regularly done food projects are all vegetarian with many vegan and gluten free options as well. We will always try our best to make every camper feel included in any food activities.

At ACM, we prioritize a positive and respectful environment for all students. We follow the Love and Logic Discipline approach, which focuses on helping children understand the connection between their actions and  consequences. When addressing inappropriate behavior, our staff maintains a calm and straightforward attitude,  explaining the reasoning behind the consequences. Disruptive behavior that hinders the safety and well-being of other students will not be tolerated. It is essential that your child understands this policy before attending the program. We maintain a zero tolerance policy towards violence to ensure the safety of all children. If your child engages in violent behavior, we kindly ask for your understanding and support. We prioritize the well-being of all students and  would take the same measures to protect your child from harm.

Having a friend or sibling at camp can make a world of difference in helping children feel comfortable and have extra fun. We will absolutely do our best to ensure campers who can be in a group together will be in a group together. There is a section in our camp paperwork for parents to list any camper their child would like to be grouped with and we will take this into account when creating groups for the week.

If you are a parent who desires your children to be grouped together we can usually accommodate this with some caveats. We do not put a younger child in an older group, so this would require the older sibling being grouped with the younger sibling in a younger group. Additionally, because our camp is divided into a 5-7 camp and 8+ camp, not all siblings will be able to be grouped together if they fall into different age ranges. If you have concerns about this please be sure to communicate with us and we will do our best to work something out so that everyone feels comfortable.

We are happy to make sure counselors are aware of your child’s gymnastics schedule during the camp day and that they make it to their intensive or class on time. If they are not in their intensive or class they will be participating in camp as regularly scheduled. If your child is enrolled for short day camp, but has a class after 3:15 you are welcome to arrange care for that day until their class at an additional fee.
