Floor is Lava

Don’t touch the ground! Floor is Lava will allow participants to make and design courses/terrain and try to navigate them without falling into the ‘Lava’. Modified from the TV show, this will give kids oodles of fun while working with others to create challenging courses.

Gymnastics Workshop

A fan favourite for the kids! Our gymnastics coaching team lead a beginner class focusing on all the foundational exercises of gymnastics while helping more experienced children develop their skills.

Parkour Workshop

Parkour is the practice of traversing obstacles in a man-made or natural environment through the use of running, vaulting, jumping, climbing, rolling, and other movements in order to travel from one point to another in the quickest and most efficient way possible without the use of equipment. Led by Ricky and his team, they help create a dynamic and inclusive environment where the kids can learn a few new skills while having a blast.
