The Movement Creative focuses on three core principles when designing the programming for our camps.
Physical - Parkour is a discipline of effort rather than physical ability or strength. One of the driving ideas behind our approach to coaching is “Start Together, Finish Together,” which creates a culture of teamwork and collaboration when it comes to learning new skills, conditioning to strengthen our bodies, or even playing a movement game. We also design our classes to provide a challenge to movers of all ages, sizes, and experience levels by scaling difficulty.
Mental - We use the mantra “embrace challenge” to describe our approach to training. We encourage our movers to expand their comfort zones and engage with fear in a healthy way, whether that’s breaking a new jump, trying a new technique, or even moving in a brand new space. Some skills cannot be taught in a lecture, and we believe that risky play, when coached responsibly, is a key component to understanding ones body and forming a healthy relationship to movement.
Social - Developing a bond of trust with the people we train with is one of the best ways for us to stay safe during parkour. To foster skills like altruism and collaboration, we use games and team challenges. Working together in this way also helps reinforce the concept of collective effort rather than competition, and will strengthen communication skills.
schedule
Campers decide as a group where they want to train and we head there and have a light snack. After warming-up and discovering opportunities from the environment we focus our lesson on a specific skill or technique we’ve found in the space.
After reflecting as a group on our morning exercise we have Lunch followed by guided free time. Campers play and adapt games to better fit the space and practice their morning techniques.
Last year we provided more than $100,000 in scholarships to our parkour programs.
Our coaches have one of the highest hourly wages of all parkour coaches in North America. Our Core Coach team has over a decade of parkour experience training, coaching, and exploring NYC.
We are proud to provide safe & inclusive programming to young parkour practitioners while paying our coaches fairly for their experience and passion for this art.
We never turn students away for lack of funds. Please contact us if you require more financial aid then is currently available.
Sliding scale is not subsidized by an outside organization. It is supported by our community. Paying what you can ensures that others who may not have the means have the opportunity to participate.
