Delta Gymnastics wants to bring back the magic of Christmas for children with no lineups involved.
On Sunday, Nov. 25, it is offering a unique visit with Santa that goes beyond what is typically available.
“Our concept is to offer the children the opportunity to spend some quality, one-on-one time with Santa Claus in a relaxed and cozy winter wonderland,” says Sharon Gillespie, Delta Gymnastics’ business manager and organizer of the special event. “We create a Christmas storybook setting, exquisitely decorated and perfect for a child’s and their family’s exclusive time with the man in red.”
Bookings are done in 15-minute increments, so it gives families time to enjoy their child’s interaction with Santa. Parents are asked several questions in advance of the event to make sure that Santa knows something about each child in order to make their visit as special and personal as possible.
“It is so amazing to see the awe in children’s faces as they enter the room, and Santa is sitting there waiting to welcome them by name,” says Gillespie. “Christmas can be too defined by the retail aspect and the pressure and urgency of the season, so we wanted to bring back the wonder of Christmas and Santa Claus for children without rush and without stress.”
Each child will also receive a small gift from Santa to add to the experience. As many as 10 members of the family can participate and capture the moments with photos or video.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Fifteen-minute sessions are $40, and the price includes a small gift for each child. For details call 604-943-0460.
