Thanks for this comprehensive list. There are also many traditional camps who offer fantastic gymnastics programs as one of their program options. I know some camps who have college coaches run their programs in the summer so these may be worth looking into for the right kind of girl as well.
Ginger, Thanks for your comment.
The primary problem I usually have with traditional summer camp programs is not the coaching, which as you say could be a great college coach or college gymnast, but the quality and lack of availability of the kinds of specialized gymnastics equipment competition gymnasts are used to, particularly in-ground gymnastics safety pits. Most traditional camps have inferior gymnastics equipment. Even the best coach is somewhat hamstrung by lack of the best equipment.
Still, you make a good point and a good coach can definitely do some good things if they have even acceptable, safe equipment. We will definitely make an effort to identify good gymnastics programs in traditional summer camps. They could definitely be an option for girls who want to go to a traditional camp, but don’t want to totally stop their gymnastics training.
If you know of any good traditional camps that have good programs, coaching and/or equipment, let me know.

My brother suggested I would possibly like this web site. He turned out to be totally right. This article truly made my day. You can not imagine just how so much time I had spent looking for this information! Thanks!

Danny Warbutton, former owner of Gym Dandy’s in PA, we know is an excellent coach and we are a Maddy Curley (Stick It) fan. With them both at this camp, it is sure to be a fun and worthwhile experience. We also have great memories of gymnastics on the beach. There is far too little of that anymore. A great camp concept that we must also recommend this camp, for all the above reasons (Elite coach, movie star and the beach!).
