USGTC Gymnastics and Cheer Testing Programs take place on Sundays
Our unique gymnastics testing program is designed for a child's individual ability
on each of the Olympic event and tumbling. Campers are placed into groups by size,
and ability. A camper who is more advanced on a specific gymnastics event, can move
up to the next ability level on that event. 50% of USGTC campers are beginners, but
we also have some very advanced gymnasts! We have staff that are capable of spotting
any skill done in World competition.
Up to Date & Innovative:
Our sport is changing rapidly, and we know the importance of changing with the times.
New equipment, mats, skills, and methods of coaching, are things to be reckoned with.
We are proud to say that we have more new equipment and mats than any other U.S. camp.
Together with our staff, we keep abreast of new training methods. We feel our campers
deserve the best!
Five forty minute classes are required each day. We also have two one hour open
workouts for the serious gymnasts. We have classes, open workouts, gymnastics
contest, and also individual skill clinics, conducted by our elite staff.
Eligibility: "I'm just a beginner! Will I fit in?"
We have gymnasts who are still learning back walkovers, and handsprings. We also
have gymnasts who perform world class difficult skills. Just remember that we
are all at camp to learn and have fun, in a non-pressure environment.
Areas of Concentration
Every gymnast has the opportunity to have five forty minute classes and two one
hour open workouts each day! We also have morning and afternoon warm up sessions
plus some lecture demos from our Olympians and other staff.
- Five Daily Olympic event classes, including trampoline and tumbling work.
- Daily dance classes for girls.
- Two one hour open workouts.
- Flexibility and conditioning.
- Meaningful. Fun, non pressure gymnastics contest.
- Age group contest so that everyone can get into the fun and win trophies,
plaques, medals, ribbons, and points for their "Color War" team.
At times, it is important for a gymnast to scale down their daily training regimen.
We realize that a camper's ability level, state of physical condition, hot hands
and sore muscles can affect a camper's performance.
"The right amount of hard work and lots of fun!"
