Starting on June 11th until September 3rd, 2012, Urban Evolution will host its Parkour and Freerunning Summer Day Camp from 1pm-5pm, Monday-Friday! Aftercare is available from 5pm-8pm at $20/hr.

My kid already trains at Urban Evolution; what class should he or she join? 

Contact us at [email protected] or just ask us the next time you come in. We’ll discuss these on a case-by-case basis to help you find the right fit for your child.

How much does it cost?

The daycamp is $400 for 5 days of training. You may not purchase a portion of the daycamp at a pro-rated rate; the classes are cumulative, and the skills your child learns will build from one day to the next.

I think we’re sold…what do we do next?
Please complete the waiver, the Medical Form along with the Day Camp Application and email a signed and scanned copy to [email protected] (and if you used a daily deal site like Groupon, LivingSocial, Certifikid, etc, please send us a copy of that voucher as well). If you don’t have access to scanner you can mail it to 5402 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria VA (please email [email protected] noting you have mailed the application so we know to expect it). You may also fax your application to 17039977666

What are the cancellation and date change policies?

If you registered for a specific day camp week and need to cancel or change dates, we ask that you communicate  your schedule change to us at least one week before the camp date so we can adjust participant count accordingly. Email [email protected] with any changes or cancellations at least one week in advance. If you are unable to attend after a camp has already begun, you may not be eligible for a full refund, but we may offer you credit towards another camp or class offering.

Do you offer transportation services?
Urban Evolution has transportation for Campers that it will use for transporting the children to and from the gym to the outdoor site only. Parents are responsible for transporting children to the gym each day of camp.

I would like to come see the gym before the summercamp starts; when can I do that?

You’re welcome to check out the gym in person during regular business hours of Mon-Friday 12pm – 9pm and Sat/Sun 11am-6pm. We have a seating area / lounge where you can observe the classes.

My child is younger than 6 years old; is this something he or she can participate in? I’m certain he/ she’d love it!

No one knows your child better than you do. If your child wants to do it, and can focus in an environment that requires physical discipline for several hours a day, then he or she might do just fine. Ask yourself (and your child): do they want to do this? Are they prepared to work hard every day, for five days straight, to learn to do things other kids can’t do? This is less a question of how much of a monkey your child is, but more about how well they can focus and socialize well with others.

If you think they’re ready, then email [email protected] and we’ll meet them, get to know them, and decide on a case-by-case basis.

What can my kid expect at the camp? What does a day look like?

Each day our session will start with a warm-up and conditioning session led by the instructor geared towards making the camper fit for Parkour and other sports they might be involved in. After the warm-up, the camper will start off their day with Parkour-related techniques and progress through a specially customized Day Camp Curriculum by the Urban Evolution Instructors.

In addition to skill development, participants will take part in other fun activities and games, culminating at the end of the week with an obstacle course challenge or outdoor training (weather permitting).  In addition, the camper will learn key elements that will be applicable to all aspects of their life such as:

• Solving problems and make good decisions
• Approaching challenges creatively
• Learning respect for others and their environment
• Challenging themselves physically and mentally
• Enjoying physical recreation and the outdoors, and
• Getting a very different ‘out of the box’ perspective on how they stay fit, even as adults!
• Learning the history behind Parkour and Freerunning
