Summer Camp is On!
Dynamo Gymnastics Summer Camps approved to run!
It’s On! Gymnastics Summer Camps have been officially approved by Gymnastics Ontario, which means summer camps can begin as of July 6!
Our Summer Camps have always been a much-loved opportunity to engage in active, positive sport and recreation programs, and we’re working hard to make sure that continues, even during these challenging times.
Dynamo will implement the same exceptional cleaning and organization protocols adopted and tested upon the return of our competitive team on June 1. We have already been inspected by the Region of Waterloo Public Health and passed with flying colours!
While the spirit embraced in our Summer Camp program will feel the same, camps will look and run a little differently in order to comply with health and safety protocols. Here are just a few of the changes:
- Structured entrance and exit practices / divided gym zones to ensure physical distancing
- Daily health screening, including on-site thermal scans, to ensure everyone is healthy enough to attend camp
- Heightened cleaning and sanitizing using electro-static spray technology / non-toxic cleaners approved to kill Covid-19 virus
- Smaller group sizes | no overlap between groups
- Added supervision to monitor physical distancing and provide support
- Planned rotations to ensure equipment is cleaned and sanitized before and after each use
- Emphasis on smart and safe hygiene etiquette, including repeated handwashing and use of hand sanitizers / Child-friendly signage to boost education
Other important information
- All families must complete Covid-19 Gymnastics Ontario waivers before attending Camp programs
- As of June 22, campers must be at least six years old to register. We will, however, honour previously enrolled campers aged 4 and 5. (All campers must absolutely be bathroom independent!)
- As directed by the provincial government and Gymnastics Ontario, no spotting is currently permitted in camp programs.
- To comply with new regulations, Before-Care and After-Care will no longer be offered (Reminder: this was a free service)
- Check-in opens at 8:30 a.m. following a “Kiss at the Curb” protocol
- Viewing lounge is closed and repurposed for camp use and to minimize numbers in the building
