Jasper Activity Centre

This is the main building and where dancer registration and pick up occurs at the start and end of the camp. The main hall is used as one of the dance studios for classes, as well as where most evening activities occur and all meals are eaten here. This building also houses the gymnastics center where the acro classes are held and some of the dorm rooms which are in a private basement area, some of these rooms have bunk beds. There are also dorm rooms upstairs in this building.

Jasper High School

This is a brand-new building approx. 200m from the JAC. There is a very large gymnasium used for dance classes as well as some dorm rooms in this building. These dorm rooms are in emptied out classrooms with the foam mats provided to dancers if they wish to use them.

Dorm Rooms

Each dorm room holds approx. 10-25 kids with volunteer dorm parents assigned each room. If a room is larger there will be multiple dorm parents assigned to one dorm room.

Dorm parents must complete a criminal record check and submit prior to camp to ensure your child’s safety and we hire a night shift security guard every single night.

The JAC and High School provide thick 4” foam mats for the dorm rooms. Some rooms have bunks; others will make their beds on the floor. Dancers need to bring their own bedding with them (sleeping bag and pillow) and if they would rather a small air mattress or their own camping gear such as padding etc they can bring whatever will make them feel comfortable. 

Meals

The JAC provides catering campers with three well rounded, healthy meals daily. The meals are buffet style for breakfast, lunch and dinner with usually include vegetarian options. The catering staff can accommodate any meal preferences or allergies including special diets set aside if needed. Please inform us of any preferences or allergies on  your registration so that we can pass the information to the catering staff for you. 

Not staying in the dorm rooms? No problem - you can still pay separately to add meals to your camp experience, just email us with your request: [email protected]
