I am not sure a SportstarZ camp is suiting for my child?
Our training program is suited for young competitive athletes who are used to train several times a week. During our gymnastics camps we train circa 5 a 6 hours a day. Also our (recreational) activities focus on the gymsport. This requires enthusiasm for gymnastics, a firm level of fitness and great perseverance.
What are the times for check-in & out?
Two weeks in advance of the start of camp you’ll receive our voucher with important information such as what to bring and routedescription. Further more in this voucher you’ll find the definite times; what time participants are expected first day of camp and what time they’re ready to be picked up the last day.

Please note: these times are indicative only and can vary per camp. Always use the definite times which can be found on your voucher you’ll receive two weeks before start of camp!
I’ve registered together with a friend; will we be in the same group?
Of course it’s extra fun to join SportstarZ together with a friend so there are plenty of moments to enjoy fun activities together. SportstarZ aims to get the very best out of your sports performance. This is why we divide training groups in age and ability and cannot take your preference into account.
Though, if you inform us during your booking, we will do our best to make sure you sleep together (or close) in a room, that’s obviously most fun!

Please leave valuables at home! It is possible to entrust valuables to our crew but this is at one’s own risk.
My child does not speak Dutch or English, can my child come anyway?
We are thoroughly experienced in welcoming (foreign) young gymnasts who often do not speak Dutch. Training and guidance will be given in English. Even children who do not speak Dutch or English are often very well able to follow training and activities simply by following by example. Most important is the willingness and ability of your child to connect ask questions and enough confidence to make him-/herself understood otherwise.
When and whom can I inform about important additional information regarding my child?
We highly appreciated to receive important details about your child during your booking. In this way, the entire crew is well informed in advance.
Your child will also be linked to his / her mentor for the week. The mentor is the first contact for your child and watches over his/her mentor group swimmers during the week. In case you have important additional information regarding your child it is possible to talk this through during check in with the according mentor. Furthermore our supervisor is there to help after the (often busy) check in.
My child uses medication, who will help?
Your child’s mentor, together with the supervisor, is able to support your child taking his/her medication. The mentor can store your child’s medication and help reminding him/her. Some independence of your child is required; SportstarZ cannot be held responsible for improper use or be held responsible in any case.
My child is homesick, how does the team of SportstarZ handle this?
We are committed to offer a comfortable feel and safe atmosphere for your child. Our camps are fun but intense, especially when swimmers get tired homesickness may arise. Experience has shown that contacting home often reinforces feelings of homesickness this is why we choose to motivate, comfort and reassure your child ourselves as far as possible. In case this is not enough we will not hesitate to contact you to seek for a suiting solution.
Our supervisor is 24/7 accessible through the emergency number that can be found on your voucher and will never hesitate to contact you if necessary.
I like to contact my child by phone during camp, when is this possible?
We aim to have your child engaged in sports, fun activities and each other. In addition mobile phones often tent to get lost, damaged or need to be charged frequently. This is why our Supervisor collects all mobile phones and stores them safely until our phone moments. The exact times will be communicated during the welcome speech after check in.

My child has a special diet / allergies; can this be taken into account?
