Holiday Camp's
We are so excited to be able to offer you 18 sessions over 9 days of non-stop fun at Summer Camp this year, however, there will be limited places on each day due to smaller group requirements and social distancing so you'll need to hurry if you want a space!!
Each session will be action packed and will include lots of socially distanced gymnastics, fun games and team challenges.
We have developed our holiday camp programme over the past few years and its popularity speaks for itself. We absolutely love camp and seeing the kids that come along, enjoy it as much as we do!
Our team of energetic and enthusiast BG qualified coaches are dedicated to giving each child a great day at Camp! Children will make new friends, awesome memories and of course have lots of fun!
As the easing of restrictions has been pushed back another four weeks, I've decided that our camps will remain as morning and afternoon session's for the duration of summer 2021. We have chosen to do it this way throughout the pandemic, to eliminate the use of our party room upstairs for lunches as we feel we won’t be able to socially distance in the room or maintain a high standard of cleaning in between uses.

What should campers bring?
All children should bring a snack and a water bottle clearly marked with their name. We do have drinking water here if they should need a refill. *We have a strictly no peanuts policy.
Children should dress appropriately for exercise. J Star does get warm in summer but we will have doors open throughout session’s to ensure maximum ventilation. With this in mind, it would be a good idea to bring an extra layer just in case they get cold. We may have a scavenger hunt or trip to the park planned so campers should also wear lace up shoes, a jacket, a hat and sun cream.
Cancellations:
If any families are unable to attend session's due to self isolation or other illness, we kindly ask to give us as much notice as possible so we can fill that space. We will offer alternative sessions or the opportunity for a refund. If camp is unable to go ahead due to a local lock down, a refund or alternate session will be offered if available.
*Camps will be cancelled if a session doesn’t meet minimum required numbers.
Additional measures in place to ensure the safety of participants:
-A special traffic flow has been created for drop offs and pick up’s using separate entrance and exits. Parents and gymnasts will enter via our normal front door and exit via the fire door in the drop off zone.
-Practise social distancing as often as possible to ensure the safety of our athletes and coaches
-Increased frequency of hand washing before, during and after each session
-Both the waiting room and party room will be closed, except for socially distanced arts and craft activities.
-Extensive cleaning will be conducted between each rotation by coaches. A more thorough cleaning is done between the morning and afternoon session and each evening after closing.
-Extra time is given between events to make sure all athletes and coaches wash their hands thoroughly.
-Maintaining good ventilation throughout the day. (Leaving doors open where safe and secure to do so).
