SUMMER CAMP 2024
Dynamite 2 is thrilled to offer our super popular Summer Camp from June 17th through August 23rd. Fun-filled days of bouncing, climbing, flipping and friendship await!
To register, please follow the instructions linked to below
A $150 per week deposit will be charged at time of sign up. Your deposit will go towards the tuition of camp.
Summer Camp at Dynamite2 is a combination of gymnastics and tumbling instruction, games, crafts and open gym time with fun themes and special events.
Depending on the state of COVID at the time of camp, we reserve the right to require testing prior to attending camp. Please do not bring sick children to camp. Students with seasonal allergies are encouraged to wear masks as we are unable to diagnose the true origin of sneezing, coughing and runny noses. We want to keep everyone at camp healthy and require your assistance to do so.
While tuition is non-refundable, switching to a different camp week is possible, but contingent on available space. Camp weeks outside of 30 days notice may be changed without charge and camp weeks within 30 days but at least one week out will incur a $35 fee. No switching is permitted within one week out, so any switching requests must be made by the Sunday the week before the first day of camp (8 days prior). Please note that weekly camp is not eligible for prorated tuition.
Campers must be at least 3.5 years old and reliably potty trained

FAQ
WHAT ABOUT SNACKS AND LUNCH FOR CAMPERS?
All campers registered for full-day must bring lunch. All students should bring ample snacks and a water bottle or two for the day. If a camper’s lunch or snack items are found to contain items that are not nut-free, Dynamite will place the items in the child’s lunchbox or bag to take home. Please be careful to read all ingredients and not pack any items with trace nuts or nuts. Any homemade items that resemble nut products (sunbutter) must be marked as we will err on the side of caution as we have staff and campers who are highly allergic.
DID YOU SAY PIZZA?
Friday is pizza day! $5 - CASH ONLY. Available to order at the front desk for full day and half day extended campers. Only worry about packing snacks, juice and a water bottle.
WHAT IS DYNAMITE'S REFUND POLICY?
Dynamite does not issue refunds for camp. Gym credits can be granted for cancellations made via EMAIL (hello@dynamite2.com) at least 30 days in advance of the first day of camp minus the non-refundable* deposit. Cancellations via phone will not be accepted and will be considered no-shows (as we cannot verify the time of the cancellation).
*A $150 per week per child deposit will be charged to secure your child’s spot in camp. Once you approve camp enrollment, no refunds will be granted; however, if you cancel camp prior to March 31st, you will get a credit to your Dynamite account for your entire deposit and prior to May 31st, we will credit your Dynamite account 50% of your deposit. After May 31st, no credits will be provided. If adequate notice is given and space permits, you are welcome to switch weeks (fee may apply).
CAN I CHANGE MY REQUESTED CAMP WEEK?
Yes, IF we have availability. Any transfers to other camp days or weeks will incur a change fee of $35 per week or $10/$15 per day (HD or HDX/FD). Changes may be requested outside of 48 hours and contingent on staff availability. Please EMAIL the gym (hello@dynamite2.com) to request any changes to days, weeks or times. Changing times (ex. from HDAM to HDPM) will not incur a change fee, but is contingent on staff availability.

For camp sessions in June, the balance is due of June 1st.
For camp sessions in July, the balance is due on July 1st.

When staffing permits, older children may be grouped by age and skill level.
