Sundays and Thursdays schedule have shorter rotations. Each schedule is subject to change but a final schedule will be sent to the email provided.
Rooming and Security
Roommates for Gymdog Camp are decided by you, the camper. The only way to GUARENTEE a roommate is by putting her full name the registration form AND by her putting your child’s full name on her form. Campers who do not have an exact match under the will be given a roommate based the gym they attend, age, and level. Rooming will be finalized just prior to camp registration, therefore, we will not have any roommate information in advance. Again, to guarantee a roommate, make sure she is your daughter’s 1st Choice and your daughter is her 1st Choice. We also do our best to keep gyms on the same hall in the dorm. However, remember that Gymdog Camp is an amazing experience and part of this is your child making lasting friendships. There is no better way to do this than by having a random roommate! We as a staff will do everything we can to make sure your daughter feels as comfortable as she can. Please help us by encouraging your child to be open to meeting new people and experiencing new things. The camper will have an assigned counselor for the week as well as a dorm mom. The dorms provide security and the exterior doors remain locked.
