Hi 2022 Stout Campers and Parents!!!
We are counting down the days and are getting excited for your arrival to campus!!! We want to apologize as the communication (emails, details clearly communicated, etc) has not been a perfect 10.0 on our end. We are a little rusty as we haven't had the opportunity to run at full capacity since 2019. With that being said - We have no doubt your daughter's camp experience at UW-Stout will be a perfect 10.0 upon her arrival!
CHECK IN MON/PICK UP FRI: Check in will take about an hour and a half - arrive at the Sports and Fitness Center between 10am and 11am Monday morning (Address is 220 13th Ave. East; Menomonie WI, 54751). Park in Lot 29 which is the same side of the building as the outdoor track and field. At check-in, bring any medication your gymnast takes. Our athletic trainer will collect and administer meds. Please leave any luggage in your car until you proceed to the dorm, which is the newly renovated North Hall. Pack a lunch for your gymnast as the dining hall opens for dinner Mon night. The "Show" will run as usual on Friday between 9am - 11:30am. Families and friends are welcome to attend the camp show, or you may arrive at 11:15am to pick up your gymnast.
COVID UPDATES: The main covid protocol that the UW System is following in the summer of 2022 is that if a camper is sick (with 2 or more symptoms) they will be sent home for the remainder of the week. A covid test prior to attending camp is no longer required by the university and masks are optional. Yeahhhhhhh - back to normal-ish!
PACKING LIST/THEME DAYS: Linens (sheets and a pillow) will be provided. Please bring bathroom necessities, a towel (beach and bath), water bottle, workout clothes, leotards x 5, swimsuit, tennis shoes, grips, snacks for the room, umbrella, sunscreen, blanket, and any spending money you wish to have. We are doing a Neon/80’s Day, Camo Day, and Blue Devil Day, so bring your over-the-top outfits! We are taking the campers to a fun filled afternoon at Wakanda Water Park this summer instead of doing the ropes course.
THREE LAST THINGS:
1. We are doing a Tiktok challenge that we'll perform in person as one of our evening activities in 2022. Campers are welcome to start practicing and preparing! Rules - Tiktok videos should be shorter than 25 seconds and should be something you'd show your grandma.
2. (Optional) For each post to your or your gymnast's social media accounts about ie: "My daughter is counting down the days to flip out at Wisconsin-Stout Gymnastics camp!"... your gymnast's name will go in a drawing for free Stout Gymnastics apparel (tank leo, etc). Tag us @uw-stoutgymnastics and we'll share your daughter's post to our Instagram account! It will be a fun and exciting way to celebrate our campers and build excitment in the next couple of weeks. Tag us = another entry. We'll pick out 1-2 winners each week. Ready - Go - Have fun with it! Show us at check-in and throughout the week for each entry!
3. (Optional) "Counselor Cassie likes to sing Usher while painting her nails and sitting in the center splits." Gymnasts - remember this random sentence lol and tell us at Check-In Monday morning for one entry for free Stout Gymnastics Apparel!!!
