Like so many youth sports, gymnastics promotes important lifelong healthy habits.
Getting out there and running, jumping and tumbling is so much fun, youngsters won’t even realize they’re setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy living.
Whether they remain in gymnastics programs as they grow up, or branch out to other sports or physical activities, kids learn the joy of movement on the mat, the horse and the balance beam.

Whether learning the right way to do a forward roll or finally mastering a tough math concept, perseverance is a quality that will serve kids well all their lives.
Safety issues require that gymnastics programs follow strict rules of conduct and learning to follow these rules reinforces the importance of safety and respect toward others.
As every kid who loves to run, race and jump will tell you, gymnastics is also loads of fun, and summer camp’s easy-going, supportive atmosphere is the perfect place to take on those first somersaults.
