Hello Everyone,
It has been all too long and we hope everyone is doing very well. Many have been asking and eagerly awaiting our re opening. We feel it is about time to bring back a piece of normalcy to the children's lives. Therefore, we will be opening for ongoing team training camps and ongoing class camps. Team camps will begin on August 3rd and all others (with the exception of preschool) on August 10th. We are very excited to be offering this accommodation.
Team families: Team training camp days will be 3 hours in length. Your schedule will be emailed out by tomorrow evening along with billing info. The schedule will be very similar to the original planned summer days and times per group, but shorter.
An updated waiver will be available tomorrow and will need to be accepted prior to attending. You can do so by logging into your account. If needed, pop up instructions are available to help you log in.
Class Students: You will be scheduled for the time slot you were in before the shut down (unless you have previously requested otherwise). For those with memberships, payments will resume on your scheduled date in August. All students are welcome to start on August 10th. Your COVID makeups will be applied to any attended classes prior to your payment date. Please watch your emails over the next week as we will most likely need to make slight changes to the class camp schedule to allow for more space between each time slot for cleaning as well as the reduction in max size to 6 students per group. An updated waiver will be available tomorrow and will need to be accepted prior to attending. You can do so by logging into your account. If needed, pop up instructions are available to help you log in.
