School and Group Visits:

Looking for an exciting field trip for your students? Whether you’re supplementing a Gymnastics Phys-Ed unit, or your class has earned a fun outing, SSMGC is geared to help you reach your learning outcomes! We can’t wait!

We offer exciting gymnastics classes for your class! Students will get to bounce on our trampolines, jump into the foam pits, swing on the bars and test their balance on the beams! Field trips can be booked from Monday to Friday 9:30-11:00 a.m, 11:15-12:45, and 1:00-2:30. Times of programs may be altered to accommodate travel and dismissal times.

Each session will begin with an introduction to the facility and safety awareness. There is a boot/shoe area for the students. There are two change rooms, one for boys and one for girls, inside the gym. There are washrooms within the gym as well.

Your Visit will begin with a Group Warm-Up.  Once warmed-up children will play a group game. From there they will be grouped by age and will have the opportunity to develop their skills with gymnastics circuits that will be based on the philosophy of Fun, Fitness and Fundamentals.

The children will be encouraged to run, jump, balance, stretch and increase their coordination.  Depending on the group this may be more or less intense but the Coach will always assess the group and execute the activity based on ability and development.  Apparatus such as beam, trampoline, rings, parallel bars and high bar will be part of the circuits, when appropriate.

SSMGC is dedicated to every child’s development of health, strength, focus, sense of responsibility, self esteem and happiness while focusing on their physical skill development and cognitive abilities.

Group Rates are based on minimum 8 participants, up to a maximum of 60 per group visit. Each class is allowed up to four visits per year. The cost per student for 1.5 hour is $10.00
