COVID-19 Safety Plan

With the pandemic still being a threat for all of us at the AIS summer camp, we will strictly follow the hygiene rules applying to schools and sports organisations. This will require students to follow the disinfection rules, keeping the 1-2M distance and most importantly: following their supervisor’s instructions. Once a camper has been enrolled in a group, they are required to stay in their assigned group for the entire week. No switching will be permitted! Therefore it is really important that you please let us know beforehand any requests ASAP but no later than one week prior to the start of your camp week (say, if your child is starting the second week of summer camp, you must let us know a week prior to that date). Failure to comply with these rules will result in the camper’s extraction from the camp and immediate parental pick up. We encourage you to revisit the Illness policy and sign the Consent letter for on campus testing should we have a suspected COVID-19 case. We will be sending out a video shortly, describing how a normal day at camp will operate and the rules that must be followed in order to have a successful and fun day. We will have both an English and a German version of this video. We encourage you to watch this with your child and to ensure they understand and are willing to comply with the instructions presented. This will ensure that the summer camp will be able to run for all the 4 weeks, and that your children and many other children will be able to take advantage of our summer camp operating safely.

Dance Camp

The Dance Camp offers a lot of fun and a challenge for students between 6 and 18 years old. Over the course of the week, focused dance training in the field of Urban Dance Styles (also known as Hip Hop) will be offered. Younger students will learn age-appropriate moves and steps in unique creative dance choreographies. Moreover, we want our students to learn to express their feelings through movement by offering different kinds of songs with different rhythmic patterns.

Advanced students will learn core elements of the various hip hop styles followed by elaborated moves to build up a profound understanding of both movement and style (mental and physical knowledge), such as go-downs, typical breakdancing, and power moves. Based on their level and interest as a group, we will develop and learn a variety of dance routines which will be put together to a theme-based choreography presented at our show at the end of the week. Together, we will design appropriate flyers and costumes, organize a photoshoot, choreograph steps together with solo parts, practice the dance steps, and rehearse for the show!

We are sure that this experience will be unforgettable! Fun and excitement are guaranteed, so don’t miss the AIS Dance Camp and register now!

The Basketball Clinic takes place during week 1. It is run by experienced coaching staff and former AIS Varsity players. This one week intense basketball training will focus on key core skills and team play. The Basketball Clinic is open for MS only.
