Location: 907 Frederick St. Kitchener, Ontario.
Camps taking place in our Original Space (Ages 4-7): Drop off and pick up campers around the lefthand side of the building, directly across from the Fitness Depot entrance.
Camp in our Expanded Space (Ages 7-13): Drop off and pick up at the front of the building, at the middle glass door that says "Welcome to Playgrounds!"
Campers ages 4-6 must sign up for camp in our original space, and campers 8-13 must sign up for camp in our expanded space. If your child is 7, you can register for whichever space you feel will be best for your child's needs.
Please note, PD & Winter Break Camps are offered in a full day format only.
Drop Off is between 8:30am and 9:00am. This is before care and does not cost extra, however dropoffs prior to 8:30 will not be accepted, as our staff need time to prepare for the day before the campers arrive.
Pick Up is between 3:30pm and 4:00pm. This is after care and does not cost extra, however 4:00 is the latest pickup time allowed. Pickups not completed by 4:00 may be subject to a late fee, as our staff need time to clean & reset the gym between programs. ID is required for pickups.
During camps, kids train 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.
Each day includes two snack breaks & a lunch break. 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 jewellery.
What to Bring: Clean running shoes (if possible lace up shoes are best), a labelled water bottle 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 $2 spending limit per day, excluding Gatorade (max 1 per day in 4-7 camp and 2 per day in 7-13 camp). Money can be sent with campers to purchase snacks and/or Gatorade if desired. Our offerings will include the following:
Small Freezie - $0.25
Mott's Fruitsations Packet - $0.50
Kirkland Dipped & Chewy Granola Bar - $0.50
Gatorade -$2
For those attending camp in our expanded space, our vending machine may also be used if desired (excluding coffee & energy drinks). Purchases from the vending machine can be made once per day during lunch or second break, with a maximum of two items purchased per day during that use.
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 labelled 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 15% admin fee. If the refund request is within 1 week of the camp day, we will issue a 50% refund of the cost only. No refunds will be offered within 48 hours of the program.
