Roommate requests

We make every effort to honor requests. We generally keep room assignments within a three-year age range so campers feel comfortable, so a request with a larger age gap may not be possible.

Assignments also depend on supervision and housing needs, and we can't guarantee every request. Rooms are finalized before camp and generally can't be changed.

Camp account

Campers can deposit money at check-in to buy snacks during camp. We only take cash or Venmo. Unused funds are refunded at the end of camp.

Leotard sizing

Every camper receives an official camp leotard. Choose a size during registration.

Use only the chest, waist and hip measurements to find the right size. If your athlete is between sizes, please size up.

Sizes starting with C are child sizes, and sizes starting with A are adult sizes. Torso-length options are not available for camp.
