Have to agree with previous posts. Our level 4 doesn't travel over 4-5 hours. It would be fun IF you wanted a vacation to Disney but with a new baby - no way!

GQ hosts a great team camp, next summer Lily should come up and go w/ Bridget!

I will say first: we have 4 kids and my gymnast is the youngest so that plays into the picture. My oldest DS (marching band & soccer), 2nd DS (baseball, football), 3rd DD (volleyball, softball, Girl Scouts) and finally my youngest DD (gymnastics, Girl Scouts). Now, if we had fewer children...

This is an interesting thread. Every child is so different, my older kids have gone away to sleep away sport or YMCA camps and done fine being away from home but my youngest is different and doesn't sleep away from home well. Her gym did a team camp in early June - it was a lot of hours of...

I agree with everyone about trusting the coaches and not comparing one child w/ another. I know at our gym the skills are critical for moving up: no kip - no level 5
