Recreational Program Information

Please see below for all information about our Clubs' recreational classes, gym wear, office hours, etc.

Please ensure gymnasts sanitize their hands upon entry.
Children are welcome to wear a mask if they feel more comfortable.
Please STAY HOME if your gymnast is experiencing ANY symptoms of a communicable disease.
Spectator viewing is NOT allowed at this time. We plan to hold Family Viewing Day where families will be able to come & see their children’s accomplishments.
We will NOT be allowing Parent Volunteers during class at this time.
Parents will be allowed in the gym for the following TWO exceptions:

Parent & Tot Classes
Preschool Classes: If your child needs you to stay with them for the first class(es) as they adjust. Any parents present for emotional support will be required to social distance from other gymnasts.

Please arrive to class dressed in clothes that enable the gymnast to move freely. Acceptable active wear includes bodysuit/leotard, yoga-type attire, leggings, sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops. Please NO belly shirts or jeans.
For safety reasons, please ensure long hair is tied back from the face.
Please bring a FULL water bottle to class. Coaches will be able to refill water bottles if needed, however our public water fountain will remain closed.
Gymnasts train inside the gym barefoot.

Selkirk Challengers now has their own private entrance into the building. If you are facing the main doors of Kinnaird Park Community Church, please head LEFT towards the Cobra Climb trail. Our doors are located at the far east side of the building and will be marked with a sign indicating Gymnasium Entrance/Exit.
Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early to class. Our coaches have prep time before class and they will not be available early to supervise your children.
Please ensure you are waiting outside the doors at the end of class to pick-up your gymnast. Gymnasts will not be allowed to enter the parking lot alone.

Please ensure you send your first payment to the gym by your child’s first day of class. If your child does not attend class on the first day, and/or you have not paid (or contacted Amy about payment) then your child will be withdrawn from class and the spot will be filled.
Appointments can be made with our Office Manager to discuss payments, subsidy programs such as Jumpstart, volunteer information, etc. by emailing Amy at scgc@telus.net. Meetings with our Office Manager will be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. You are always welcome to email our Office Manager, our Head Coach, or our Board of Directors with any questions or concerns.
If you are sending cash or cheque payments in with your gymnast, please ensure they are marked clearly with your gymnast’s full name. Unmarked cash will NOT be accepted by our coaches. If the Office Manager is out of the office, coaches will drop your payment in our lockbox. Payments will be processed the next business day and an updated invoice will be emailed to you.
We are accepting e-transfers this year. Please reach out to advise us if you plan on paying by e-transfer and we can arrange a password.
If you have ANY questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our Office Manager, Amy. The best way to reach her is through email: scgc@telus.net.
You can also call the office at 250-365-5563. Voicemails will be checked once per day.
Amy’s office days are Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays.

Please advise us prior to your child’s first day of class if they will be arriving by school bus or need to be picked up from Silly Monkeys Day Care.
Please advise Silly Monkeys Day Care directly as well. They will require you to sign a form that gives our coaches permission to pick-up your child.
If your child is sick or not able to come to class, please let us know beforehand so we are not panicking if they do not get off the bus. You can email scgc@telus.net to advise.
This year gymnasts will be able to return to Silly Monkeys after gymnastics on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Please let us know if you would like to arrange to have your gymnast return to Silly Monkeys after gymnastics.

We send out updates to our SCGC families by emailing through our Uplifter system. To stay up-to-date on Gymnastics events, fundraisers, and other announcements please create the following email as a contact in your email account: no-reply@selkirkchallengers.uplifterinc.com

We are seeking volunteer directors to join our board. The board plans to meet 6 to 8 times per year to govern our non-profit club. This is a great way to earn back your volunteer fees! Our board is a welcoming group of parents who enjoy spending time with each other and our staff. No previous experience required! Various backgrounds are welcome and appreciated!
Volunteer committee members are also needed! We would like to form a fundraising committee & sponsorship committee for the 2023/2024 season. Meetings will be booked on an as needed basis. No experience required; different life experiences are always a great way for us to hear new ideas and suggestions! Another great way to earn back your volunteer fees!
If you are interested in joining our Board of Directors or one of our Committees, please email the office at scgc@telus.net
