Track Attack respects its customers rights to personal privacy. Personal information is not lent or sold to any person or agency for any purpose. Any personal information customers have provided to Track Attack will be used to deliver services to them only, and to keep them informed and up-to-date about the activities of the company. These activities include advising customers of initiatives, customer surveys, programs, services, confirmations, special events, and/or emergencies.

The company website and online database is hosted on a server using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to encrypt or encode the data and to ensure security during the online registration process.

We like to cherish the fond memories and exciting moments at Track Attack. On the final day of each week participants will receive a photo journal of their experience at Track Attack. Upon registration you have a choice to consent between photos being taken of your child for the purpose of ONLY journals or journals and the possibility of appearing in social media posts or advertising. Please note that your child’s photo will end up in journals other than their own, such as in larger group photos. No names or identifying information will ever accompany any social media post or be used in any advertising.

All cancellation requests must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the camp start date. Cancellations less than 2 weeks from the start date are not eligible for credit or refund. Refunds are subject to a $30 cancellation/administration fee per registration. Registration transfers can be made with only a $10 dollar administration fee per registration.

REFUND CLARIFICATION EXAMPLE: If you require a refund, there is a $30 administrative fee per registration (meaning per child, and per week). For example, if you have two children registered in the same week, this counts as two registrations (2 x $30), or if you have one child registered for two weeks, you also have two registrations (2 x $30).

In the event of a camp week cancellation initiated by Track Attack, full credits or refunds to the original form of payment will be provided without any fees.

Please note that credit notes will expire after the following summer. This credit note can be used within your family towards any of our programs offered. Once a credit is issued to you, it cannot be converted to a refund.

In the event of an individual date needing to be cancelled due to air quality, a partial credit will be offered to all families, that can be used for future weeks in the same summer or the following summer.

If you need to cancel due to a medical issue; official medical documentation will be required to received a refund/credit.

There are no credits or refunds for missed days due to changed work or vacation schedules, sick days, or other non-emergency reasons.

We recognize that extenuating circumstances exist. For cancellations due to medical illnesses, or for any other compassionate reason, please apply in writing to the office (no more than 14 days after the end of the program). If the reason is medical or illness please include official documentation.

Your child’s health and safety are of paramount importance to us. Please let us know if your child has any medical concerns. Small or large, significant or possibly irrelevant, we want to know. It’s always best to have more knowledge of everyone’s history.

The Track Attack registration form includes an emergency phone number in the off-chance that we need to make a call as well as notification of any allergies or medications. Please be sure to advise the camp director and your child’s coach of any changes that might have occurred since registration.

Please send any needed medication to camp with your child.

Our staff are trained to use Epi-pens, can support the administration of asthma medication, and can administer first aid, if needed.

Rain or Shine Camps

Our camps run rain or shine!

For Hot and Humid Days

Our schedule allows for regular and more frequent water breaks and shade breaks when the weather demands it. There is a scheduled snack time, which will always be taken in the shade as there is no actual shade on the track itself. In the event of a heat advisory, the intensity of the activities will be adjusted to meet the needs of the age group.

For Rainy Days

If it looks like it is going to rain, please send your child with the following:

• Rain gear
• Gloves
• Extra socks
• Extra set of clothes in a plastic bag

In the event of a particularly bad storm, camp may be cancelled for the day, but this has only occurred ONCE in more than 10 years of operating.

In the event of lightning, all the athletes and coaches will be moved to shelter. There must be a period of 30 minutes or more of safe skies, no lightning, before the groups will be permitted to be back on the track. If lightning persists for more than an hour, camp will be cancelled for the day and pick ups will be arranged. Parents will still be contacted for athletes that planned on walking or biking home, to discuss risk tolerance.

For Smokey Days

As wildfires become a common occurrence for Alberta summers, an air quality policy has been implemented by Athletics Alberta. Air quality ratings of 1-3 are optimal for outdoor training and no restrictions or modifications are necessary. Air quality ratings of 4-6 are less than ideal and modifications must be made to the intensity of the activities and all athletes are monitored for symptoms. Air quality ratings of 7 and higher are considered hazardous for outdoor, high intensity training and all training sessions must be cancelled. Partial refunds/credits will be offered for days cancelled due to air quality issues.
