School Day-off Kids Yoga Camps
Fun, Enriching, Relaxing Experiences on DCPS Professional Development, Parent-Teacher Conference Days
Our camps provide students from PreK-4th grade with a fun, creative, educational and enriching experience on DCPS days off for professional development or parent-teacher conferences. We’ll do yoga movement classes, mindfulness activities, relaxation, games, crafts and outdoor time.
We offer a non-competitive and supportive environment where kids can learn to learn to work cooperatively as well as learn to care for and nurture themselves.

Who?
K – 4th grade students with very limited space for PK4 campers.
About PreK: We are able to accommodate a very limited number of PreK 4 c
ampers. While we divide PK4 out for enrollment purposes, they participate in the same camp as everyone else. Because we have no scheduled nap during our school year camps, yoga camp is most appropriate for non-nappers who are:
- 4 years old with Breathing Space experience
or - new to Breathing Space PreK and have turned 5.
All campers must be bathroom independent, outgrown any tendency to run away from a group, and able to walk several blocks carrying their own backpack containing their lunch and water bottle.
Please note that PK4 students must enroll in the PreK group for the entire school year. They do not change classes when they turn 5. Thank you.
Junior Counselors: 5th-8th graders are invited to participate and develop leadership skills as well: apply to be Junior Counselors.

Waitlists:
If your preferred date is full, sign up for the waitlist on the registration page. We cannot reliably respond to email requests for waitlist additions.
Extended Day:
We are pleased to offer camp in partnerships with Labyrinth’s wildly popular Good Moves Games Club to offer extended day camp from 3:45-5:45. Games Club class runs from 4:30-5:30 pm. Pickup is in the same location as camp unless noted.
Cancelation Policy: Register Early
We have a minimum registration of 10 campers two weeks in advance to hold camp; minimum 6 campers to hold games club. We finalize staffing two weeks in advance based on expected enrollment. After that, we may not be able to accommodate late registration due to our student:staff ratio policy.
Within two weeks of camp, we only cancel for extraordinary circumstances.
*Schedule Notes and Charter School Days Off*
We are not scheduling any camps for DCPS closed days in May or June 2019 at this time. Once all snow make-up days are scheduled for the year, we will consider staffing and location availability for camp.
We are happy to explore offering camp for charter school administrative days. In order to set up a date for an individual school, we need a parent liaison to take responsibility for helping us fill the camp, by circulating flyers and listserv announcements at the school and generally spreading the word. Camps have a minimum of 12 enrolled to run. Contact us for details.
