How does the day work?

A typical day at Spring Action summer camp starts with cooperative games and a stretching warm-up in the morning. The participants then break-up into their groups for rotations of trampoline and circus activities. For lunch, weather providing, participants head to the City of Ottawa park to eat and have some time outside. There is a wading pool at the park operated by City of Ottawa lifeguards that participants are more than welcome to use! Once lunch is over participants head back to the gym for more trampoline and circus fun! Near the end of the day we have clean-up time and free time where the participants can choose which activities they participate in! Included in the day we also have two snack times so make sure you send plenty to eat and drink!

Deciding which week to attend

Although our camps (with the exception of Camp E) are based on two weeks sessions, we do allow participants to come to one week of any of our camps! Can’t decide which week to attend? Here is some additional information that can help you make your decision:

Week 1:

· The first week of all of our camps is an introduction to all of the activities! Participants will be introduced to a wide variety of circus activities and learn the basics of trampoline. If you are a spring action veteran you will be perfecting some of your previously learned tricks and will continue adding onto your skill repertoire. The week is based on fun and learning and working at the participants own rate!

Week 2:

· The second week of every session is based on the Grand Finale Circus Show. Participants who are only there for this week will have a quick introduction and overview of all of the activities, and will then have to specialize in their circus activities. For people that love to perform this is the week to choose! All family and friends are invited to watch the Grand Finale show on the Friday at 3pm. At the show each participant will show off some of their newly acquired trampoline skills, circus tricks as well as perform in a group mini-tramp show!

Still can’t decide which week to come?!

Well just to be safe you better come to both!
