Dedicated to kids aged 18 months to 17 years old, The Jam in Savannah will offer a range of exhilarating programs including recreational gymnastics, Ninjastics, and obstacle courses when it opens in May 2024.
Above is the tentative classes schedule for May 2024. Note that this schedule is subject to change. As you already know, The JAM staff are working on getting the space ready, and hopeful for a soft opening in May 2024.
The JAM’s mission? To bring the perfect blend of fun, challenge, and support to every child, pre-teen, and teen that walks through the doors! The goal is for kids to not only develop strength and confidence but also forge lifelong friendships, becoming strong and well-balanced individuals along the way.
Turtle Creek Camp will be at Advanced Academics Academy’s new campus at 605 US Hwy 80 in Pooler.
Camps are designed to center around a theme with activities alternating between high and low energy and led and free-choice throughout the day. Advanced Academics Academy teachers know that kids learn best through play and in a safe environment where they feel included.
Campers are divided into groups by age to ensure that play is safe and fair. Camp staff work with kids that need a little room of their own by offering a setting to be comfortable in and different activities if they are sensitive to noise or too much activity. No rude or harmful behavior is permitted.
Campers need a water bottle, two snacks and lunch daily. Please wear comfortable clothing that can get stained and shoes that protect your feet.
