I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and I have appreciated the perspectives of parents who have been in this sport longer than myself. My daughter is an 8 y/o who just finished her Level 3 season. She has had several good friends who have been going to sleep away camps the past few...
My daughter wants to go to Flip Fest summer camp so bad but we are a good 9 hour drive away, which I honestly don't mind. I have paid the same price for non sleepaway camps before so the price doesn't bother me. I am not a clingy parent but I do need to make sure my daughter is safe. I would...
My daughter will either be going to International gymnastics camp or Woodward pa in 2022. She is 11 years old and will be travelling on a plane by herself from Australiato get there.
Any information would be helpful like
- Which camp is preferred
- how to travel by your self
- And how kids are...
Hey everyone!
This is our first year doing Gold and we were going over skills needed. So far we have our girls training giants and handstand pirouettes but we are trying to find out what different gyms do!
Thanks in advance!
Hi I'm from Ireland and my daughter is attending IGC this summer for the first time. I don't know anyone who has attended the camp and am just looking for any feedback. What should I pack for her etc....any tips or hints would be really appriciated. Thanks Cathy
My gymnast will be going to IGC for the first time next week. It will also be the first sleepaway camp experience. This whole part of the country is soaking wet right now and the 10 day forecast shows rain likely for the entire week my gymnast is there. :( The videos show all this fun...
Hi, My YG is currently in pre-team and was invited to Level 2 for next year. She has all the skills, working on polishing.
I would like to switch her to IGC, because she is very interested in dance, and I think it fits her personality better. (I also have an older daughter going to level 4, so...
I'm 13 and I've never been to a gymnastics camp before and I'm wondering what the skill level of girls my age would be at IGC. I'm in Xcel Gold. Last year in Silver, I competed a round-off back-handspring and front handspring on floor. A pull over, cast backhipcircle, squat on, jump to high bar...
Hey everyone - this might sound odd, but in today's competitive culture - is my daughter starting "late" by being 8 years old (turns 9 in October) and starting at Level 2? I am new to this and just got a strange vibe from some Level 2 moms yesterday about how their kids are 7 and younger. I...
I thought this was interesting in light of another thread recently about having the options of wearing shorts with competition leotards.
"International Gymnastics Camp’s concern with the current issues facing USA Gymnastics drives us to take a pro-active approach to ensure gymnastics is a safe...
I'm really interested in going to a gymnastics camp. However, they're super expensive ($1000+) and if I go I want to get as much gymnastics as possible. I'm level 7/platinum*. Which camp would you suggest?
*I know platinum can vary widely, but I compete at level 7
What follows is my very long/detailed report for IGC Thanksgiving Clinic (just drop-off). After I pick her up I’ll report back again. There’s a ton of detail (no questions) so feel free to skip this post if you’re not interested.
Arrival
Check-in officially opened at 10:00 we got there about 20...
Hi,
I’m considering sending my dd (7 years old and level 2) to IGC Thanksgiving clinic (sleepover). I think she’ll really enjoy the experience. My idea is that she can try the clinic and if she likes it she can decide if she wants to go to camp there next summer. She saw their promo video and...
Hi
I am thinking of going to IGC summer 2017 as a coach/ camp leader type role, I have looked on here but can only find threads of going as a gymnast rather than a coach or camp leader, has anyone ever done this or know someone that has and can give me some tips/ information about your time?
:)
Sorry if i put this in the wrong spot.
I was wondering if anyne has had experiance with IGC. I want to send kids there, but its expensive. Is it REALLY wroth it?
What should we pack if my kids go? Do you like it there? Hows the staff? Is the food good, or should they pack snacks? How many...
We will be in the PA area over Thanksgiving and I viewed on the International Gymnastics Camp website that they offer a camp over the holiday.
It is 2 days (Friday and Saturday). My DD is 11 years old and is on Xcel Silver team.
Has anyone ever attended the Thanksgiving camp? Will my DD...
My DD wants to go. She has seen the facility because of older siblings and she really wants to go EXCEPT she is just terrified of the idea of sleeping away from us. She really is a baby for her age but I don't believe in PUSHING kids into these situations too early. She is 9.5 yrs old, has never...
Hey guys.
My little sister is 12. She is going to IGC next week, and she is freaking out about it. She is a pretty beginner gymnast(she takes the advanced class, but she's not on the team or anything.) She always comes to talk to me about how she is nervous about being left out or whatever. Her...
