Summer Camps 2021

We are delighted to announce that this summer we will be running outdoor activity camps!

These have been organised in line with covid-19 government guidelines and through Sport Ireland. The aim is to create a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone involved while maintaining health and safety as the top priority. We can do this through social distancing during our sessions and keeping our groups small.

We are really excited to bring these activity camps to you and create a fun, safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all kids involved!

Location: Scoil Cholmcille Ballybrack

These camps will run outdoors throughout July and August. We are providing Activity Camps for both 7-10 and 4-6 age groups!

The schedule of the activities will run as follows:

• 7-10 Age Group 9:00 - 12:00pm

• 4-6 Age Group 12:30 - 1:30pm

‘‘Bar Monkey Camps got our kids back socialising and mixing positively with kids again. They loved the games, had fun and got plenty of one to one instruction with a designated coach in a small group setting. We have already booked a second week!’’

We will have Portable Pull-Up Equipment that we will use throughout each session. This will be cleaned in between each go and all coaches operating this area will wear PPE Gear.

We will have operating procedures in place to protect everyone involved throughout the sessions and these will be sent to you after registration. You will also be required to complete a screening form.

We are really excited to be able to operate classes like these again and we can’t wait to see you all there!

Contact us for more information or click the button below for the registration form for either 7-10 or 4-6 age groups.

August Update

Hi guys,

I hope you are all having a great summer!

This is just a quick update going out to let you all know about our plans for the summer and carrying on into September.

If you have any questions on the following just let us know.

SUMMER CAMPS

We have had a great time on our Summer Camps!

We now only have FIVE places remaining for the rest of the summer, this is for Week Six August 6th - 9th so if you are interested in signing up please do so now as this is the last week with availability!

Summer Camp Registration Form

We have had a great few weeks, I have been delighted personally with the turnout and engagement each week. Our groups have really taken to the bars as you would expect and it has also been great to see a lot of new faces and the interaction between all groups. We look forward to seeing everyone else over the rest of the summer!

SEPTEMBER CLASSES

Just to clarify as people have been asking about our classes for September. People who are already registered with us do not need to worry about their place. You are already registered and everyone will just come back to the class they were in as normal - unless we have spoken about moving etc.

For anyone who has just joined over the summer and you are looking to register for September we will be releasing our registration forms mid way through August. It has been great to see the response from new participants over the summer and we are delighted to see that people are looking to continue learning with us.
In the next week or so we will be sending another email and this will have the registration form for classes in September*.

*If you are already a member, I.E in the classes before the summer break, you do not need to re-register.

PARENTS GUIDE

This is also just to inform everyone involved that in September we will be sending all of you a guidebook that will give specific information with regards to the class your child is in.

This guidebook will specifically show you what we are working at each stage or class so that you can see what we are trying to develop with each member of our club. I think this will be really useful and give you all, hopefully, a slightly better understanding of the sport and that you can see what we are trying to develop at each stage and show you our pathway towards developing each person in the sport.

As always if anyone has any questions on the above please just let us know.

Thanks,
Jamie

Summer Update

Hi guys,

We were delighted with the turnout for last weekends Bar Monkey EXPO! Just want to say a big thanks to everyone that was able to make it. I think everyone that was able to attend will agree that the kids who performed in our exhibition were brilliant!

I was very proud of all of them for managing to put on such a brilliant performance, and seeing all the work they put in to prepare. Anyone who has managed to see our exhibitions over the last couple of years will agree that the standard keeps improving every year, which as a club and for calisthenics overall is just brilliant to see, it is one of the main reasons I love what I do as I am always able to look forward and be really excited about the future of the sport and seeing how how our athletes continue to develop and push the sport even further.

I hope that everyone else that was involved on the day enjoyed themselves too and that they were really inspired by what they saw. That is a huge part of the day that makes it really important. We want the rest of our groups to see what level they can aspire to. For anyone involved in our classes what I really enjoy about these days for them is that they get to see another level, whereas in class they only see what they are currently practicing. These days give them a chance to see another level entirely within our sport and they get to see a load of new skills and tricks to hopefully motivate them to continue with their development.

I really hope everyone enjoyed the day!

SUMMER CAMPS

We are delighted to announce our Summer Camps to you for this year!

They will take place in St.Columbanus Loughlinstown this year due to renovations taking place in Scoil Cholmcille, and we can't wait to get started with these!

We really enjoy the camps due to the extra time we get with each group, as they get to make new friends, we build better relationships with them and they become more invested in the club. It becomes more than just something they do. We also really enjoy giving them the opportunity to get more time to work on their skills.

For further information on these you can check the link below:

Summer Schedule

Hi guys, 

I am delighted to finally be able to share with you our schedule for the summer! 

We have a lot going on to update you with so I hope you can take a look at this email and that it helps clarify our Summer Plans for you. If you do have any further questions for us please email 
info@barmonkeycalisthenics.com or reply directly to this email.

Memberships

For anyone unsure about their memberships throughout the Summer what happens is because we are not in our normal schedule all memberships are paused throughout July and August. This means no payments will be taken from any account throughout these two months. Payment will still be taken from you if your account is set up at the end of June. This covers your place in September. I hope this covers any concerns people had about the payment schedule. Again, if you have any questions around that just let me know.

 Evening Classes

This year we have decided to keep a selection of our evening classes running for the summer. This is because our Summer Camps do not cater to every age so we will be keeping the following classes on over the Summer. 

- Monday / Wednesday/ Friday 4-6 FUNdamentals
- Monday / Wednesday Teen Programme 
- Tuesday / Thursday Competition Group

For anyone involved in our classes with these age groups, including Saturday 4-6 FUNdamentals please let us know if you would like to continue with the classes over the summer or if you would prefer to pause your membership for July and August.

Again just let me know if there are any questions around this.
