Please contact the Office at 416-759-6823 before 9 a.m. if your child is going to be absent. Leave a message on the machine with the camp and your child’s full name.

Please ensure that everyone who has permission to pick-up your child has been added to the sign-in sheet and the child’s registration form. Only those listed on the sign-in sheet will be permitted to pick up that child from camp. As well, those picking up your child may be asked to show photo ID to verify their identity. Please make sure that everyone with permission to pick up your child brings photo ID with him or her.

Essential Items to Bring to Camp

Due to severe PEANUT/NUT ALLERGIES OF SOME OF OUR GYMNASTS, peanuts, peanut products and all other nuts are not allowed in the building. This also includes Granola or Cereal bars!!

Wear comfortable clothing. Campers may wear tights or leotards. If campers wear shorts and t-shirts make sure they are close fitting to allow movement of the body. Gymnasts will be barefoot while in the gym.

Half Day Campers: Please pack a morning or afternoon snack, a lot of water and an old-t-shirt or shirt for protection against craft spills on gym clothes.

Full Day Campers: Please pack a morning and afternoon snack as well as a substantial lunch and a lot of water. An old T-shirt or shirt for protection against craft spills on gym clothes is advised as well as a good pair of walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat. We anticipate that water activities will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Please pack swimwear and a towel for these afternoons. 

Children will not be permitted to leave the camp during the lunch period unless accompanied by parent/guardian. Parents must sign their child out of camp with the supervisor and sign him/her back in after lunch.

On the days that camers leave the gym for outside activities, they will receive/borrow a freshly laundered EYGC tank top so that students can be easily identified.

  • The instructor will assess the situation and take appropriate measures.
  • You will be notified by phone or, in the case of minor incidents, at pick up time.
  • If required, your child will be taken by EMS to an emergency department.

If your child has a medical concern, please ensure that our office knows in advance of the camp. A staff member will follow up with you before the camp begins to discuss any concerns.

During the camp, if your child is experiencing any difficulties or problems, please let us know. We look forward to a safe and enjoyable camp.

  • Fever
  • Diarrhea – defined as two or more loose stools
  • Vomiting – more than once
