Gymnastics Summer Camps?

Camps Can Let your Gymnast See Where They Stand in the Sport
That said gymnastics camps can provide some things that are unavailable at your gym.  Commercial camps draw a large number and a wide variety of gymnasts from all over the country.  Gymnasts can get a truer picture of where they stand in the sport in comparison to all the gymnasts at the camp.  This can be an enlightening experience.

Meet the Stars in the Sport at Camp
Commercial gymnastic camps often have nationally known gymnasts and coaches visit which can be inspirational and educational.  Commercial gymnastics camps have all the latest training equipment, which may or may not be available in your own gym.

Gymnastics Camp Gives Your Gymnast the Summer Camp Experience
The other thing that commercial gymnastic provide is a camp experience including the social aspects of going to summer camp, meeting new people and making new friends and participating in traditional camp activities.

Do You Want to Support Your Gym or Another Gym?
Summer camp programs run by another gym will be taking your money and making their gym stronger and better.  You should spend the money in your own gym for their camps or extra private lessons instead of enriching the competition.  This is true unless there is a significant difference in the level of coaching available at your gym and the camp. 

Camp is Camp and That’s What You’ll Get
So is it worth it?  Send your gymnast to a commercial gymnastics camp if you have already supported your own gym’s summer training programs.  Send them to a commercial summer camp not expecting better coaching, but expecting your child will have a typical camp social experience there.  If that is your goal, then your gymnast will certainly be able to have a positive gymnastics summer camp experience. 

For a different and unique gymnastic summer camp opportunity -
