Enrollment
Break weeks are short and they fill
Break camps are three short sessions, not twelve weeks, so there is far less room than in summer. Thanksgiving and the week after Christmas go first.

Break camp questions
When do fall and winter break camps run?
Three sessions. Thanksgiving runs Mon Nov 23 – Fri Nov 27 (4 camp days, closed Thursday November 26). Winter Week 1 runs Mon Dec 21 – Wed Dec 23 (3 camp days). Winter Week 2 runs Mon Dec 28 – Thu Dec 31 (4 camp days).
What does each session cost?
Thanksgiving is $485, Winter Week 1 is $365, and Winter Week 2 is $485. Sessions are priced by the number of camp days, which works out to about $121 per day across all three. Thanksgiving also offers single drop-in days at $135.
What do kids actually do at break camp?
Flying trapeze and parkour, together in one program for ages 6–14. Campers rotate between the rig and the parkour space all day, then perform what they built at the showcase on the last day.
Which days are you closed?
Thursday November 26 for Thanksgiving, December 24 and 25 for Christmas, and Friday January 1 for New Year's Day. Session pricing already accounts for those closures.
Do you offer before and after care?
Yes, and it is free. Early drop-off runs 8:00 – 9:00 AM and late pickup runs 3:00 – 4:00 PM, on every camp day.
Is there a showcase like the summer camps?
Yes, at 2 PM on the last day of each session rather than on a Friday, since two of the three break weeks do not end on one. That is Friday Nov 27, 2 PM, Wednesday Dec 23, 2 PM, and Thursday Dec 31, 2 PM. Families are welcome.
