WAG Any information on TOPS camp?

[gym_mommy]

I was wondering if anyone has received any TOPS camp information? Our daughter is curious to find out who she will be sharing a cabin with. And I'm curious to see if anyone has received their flight information for A camp.

Our coach has not yet heard anything so I thought I would post here to see if everyone else was in the same boat.

New to Tops and Chalk Bucket ... and wondering the same thing. My daughter is a 9 year old Level 8 and made the A camp. We have not received any flight info or cabin assignment yet either so we are in the same boat.

Coaches haven't given us any info. I assume all the girls from our gym will be in the same cabin but don't know anything for sure yet...

We just got the flight info today, our daughter is 10 and made the A team.

 

[GymBeeMom]

Yup, we have our flight info for A camp.

Has anyone received any camp info other than the flight info. yet? We assumed we would receive more information about the camp assignments and what to bring, but so far we have received nothing else and camp is this week. I have checked the old TOPs posts here but some say to bring blankets, towels and pillow but others say it is not necessary. I know they have done some upgrades so if someone can give me any current info on what to bring, and any other good advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

My daughter went to B camp last year. She had to bring her own bedding, pillow, and towel.

 

[Mama Duck]

Thanks for your reply Mom2twingymnasts. Late last night we received an email from Kim Riley with the information for the camps and what to bring ... and you are correct, we are to bring bedding and towels.

Did you receive the information directly from Kim Riley, or through your gym? We haven't seen anything yet.

Thanks!

 

[Deleted member D3987]

the info goes to the gym and their coaches.

 

[Fab5Fam]

Thanks so much! Looks like I need to ask a question at the gym.

and oven mitts for strap bar...

That is dangerous! Plenty of other close fitting options to use.

 

[Mama Duck]

We received the info directly from Kim Riley and our coach also received it. Hope you received your info. today.

I was going to pack her snow gloves but perhaps oven mitts would be a better choice. I had to laugh when I read the part that said to bring "garden gloves" ... really??? I don't think I am going to have much luck finding garden gloves within the next 24 hours so oven mitts just may have to do!

 

[Mama Duck]

So, all kidding aside, what type of gloves would be a good choice? Should they be grippy or smooth? My daughter does strap bar all the time in her gym but they have never worn gloves. Do they have a different type of strap bar or do they just prefer the gymnasts to wear gloves?

Fab5Fam - Actually the email was to the "coaches" and forwarded.
