This has nothing to do with me personally--it's just something I've been wondering as a former gymnast who knows a LOT about summer camps through both my experience/friends' experiences and is going into a career in which I may find myself at some point working in an administrative position at a...
Looking for recommendations for college camps this summer. Which camps have your daughters done and do you feel they were worth it? My daughter is an 11-year-old Level 9, so we're not focused on any particular college at this point. Just looking for a program that's a good mixture of fun and...
I am just taking over a new gym as head coach/manager and I started August 1st. I was not in the gym at all for a summer camp that we ran in July but we had one of the senior coaches running it. I provided her a schedule that had a lots of gymnastics interspersed with breaks, craft, and lunch as...
Was wondering if any of your gymnasts participated in these summer camps offered by various NCAA programs?
If so, was it worth it?
-did they learn new skills/techniques which they were able to bring back to their home gym?
-did it help in the college recruitment process?
-what age/level...
We are moving overseas next year to a location with less experienced coaches and limited facilities/equipment. DD will be training lvl 8. She should have her giant before we leave. That's all that she still needs for 7.
I am considering saving up to take DD back to the states for three weeks of...
Mind you, this is not for this year, as it would be way too late to get into one anyway, and my daughter is too young. But she is interested in going to one next year. And I am as green as a Granny Smith apple in terms of camp knowledge.
So hit me with it. We are in the USA. Give me the great...
Just wondering if anyone has experience of their clubs going abroad for summer camps. Is it worth it? the whole expense of it, especially if parents are asked to take their gymnast to the camp!
Hello fellow gymnastics moms & dads,
Our daughter went to flip fest last year and had a blast, the problem, IMHO, is that 1 week is just short of them really getting what the need out of such a camp. But two weeks is a lot of $$. Shoot one week at flip fest was a lot of $$$$..
With that said...
I know there have been threads about the pluses and minuses of camps on here, and I do get that they could be very unnecessary. We are in a bit of an unusual circumstance. My boys lost their coach in January, and have had a fill in younger, less experienced coach. He is doing very well, but...
I was wondering if anyone had any insight in weekend summer camps. We are going to the university of Arkansas camp and was also thinking about doing the Bart Conner weekend camp as well.
Ok, a bit overwhelmed with all the options... At first I was going to send dd to FlipFest because it's I just a 10hr drive. But I just found out about all these universities offering camps for cheaper.
Which is best? FF is about $750 and a college camp is less than $500 on average. What do you...
Hi there...I know that this question has been asked before but I thought I would get a refresh of responses.
I am looking to send my daughter to summer camp this summer.
She has been to Woodward a couple of times and last year went to Chicago Institute. She liked them both for very different...
Okay I know this is probably the most stupid question ever asked but for camps like Woodward and Flipfest are those gyms just built for camps? Do they offer gym classes during the rest of the year? Do they have teams or compete?
