Nancy Kahn Scott is owner/operator of My Gym Children’s Fitness Center in Palm Desert, California. Here, she talks about the many options a My Gym camp can provide for children, whether over the summer period or during a special holiday occasion.
My Gym camp is simply the best! Children participate in energizing fitness games, noncompetitive gymnastics, arts and crafts, music and so much more. Each camp program is uniquely designed to keep your children moving and active, as we emphasize physical development and personal success. Our themes and programs change daily, so no two camp days at My Gym are ever the same.
My Gym camp varies from gym to gym, but most offer winter, spring break and summer camps. Usually children must be at least three years of age – and potty-trained. The price gets cheaper depending on how many days you choose to enroll your child, and sibling discounts are available.
No Two Days the Same
The best part about the camps is that there is a varied menu of activities to choose from, so no two days are ever the same. Children will not get bored when they come to My Gym because of the changing weekly set ups, which challenge the kids both physically as well as intellectually and creatively. And if they just want to chill out, that’s not a problem either.
Younger children are also challenged appropriately, with a host of activities ranging from puppet show to story time to gymnastics, games and arts and crafts. But it’s not all fun and games – they learn a lot as well, from learning how to share and take turns to having respect for themselves and others and trying to follow directions properly. The low child-adult ratio means that every child has the chance to be actively engaged at all times.
Sign Up Early
Some gyms also offer special Fun Camps for specific holidays, often half-day camps which concentrate on a specific theme. Space is limited so reserve early as you don’t want your children to miss out.
Whether you are looking for the best place to send your children on cold and rainy days or trying to keep them active and cool during the hot summer months, My Gym camp is the place to be. We make it easy for parents with our drop-off program, pay-by-the day options, and multi-day and sibling discounts.
