summer

We are considering sending DD to camp this summer if she can find a buddy to go (working on it). She'll have just turned 11 and is training level 7. Based on geography (not ready to have her too far away yet), we're primarily considering either IGI or UIC. Any experiences with either of them out...

OK, this is completely out of curiosity since I don't think we'd do any camps quite yet. I was looking at the camps in the USA Gymnastics magazine and noticed the Karolyi's camp is like 1/2 the price of the others! I must be missing something...I would think if anything it would be more...

I'm trying to decide on a summer camp to send my daughter to. We are in ok and in looking into the woga camp in frisco tx and Bella and Martha's camp in Houston. Has anyones been to either of these and what are your opinions.

My daughter started recreational classes last summer, and she's doing really well. We've been told it's likely she'll make the team when they do evaluations later this spring. She's super excited. Our gym has the practice schedules posted for teams, but the effective date is right when school...

I may be a bit premature for next summer, but I am a planner. My girls have attended IGC for a few summers and have enjoyed it immensely. However, now that they are a bit older and both have big dreams of competing in college, I would like to send them to a college camp this summer (they will be...

Hey fellow gym moms, I was wondering if you have any recommendations on summer gymnastics camps for an optional gymnast. My DD will be competing Level 8 at the start of the 2015 season. A couple of summers ago, she attended International Gymnastics Camp and had a good time but said it was too...

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...

We have decide last minute to go to Woodward next week. What do boys wear in the gym typically. He has 2 pairs of pommel pants that I wash often, three singlets and several tight fighting shirts he wears to the gym often. He has some athletic shorts that will work too but I need an idea of...

My youngest dd got her pullover today (from only having tiptoes on the floor), she had to pull up and the lift her knees over, she did it a couple of times, she is also working on her back hip circle and is close to doing one on her own. Dd is also improving her straddle dismount and is know...

This year will be my youngest dd's first year of training during the day time in the summer, her hours will increase but days will stay the same for no extra charge, she will be doing 10am to 3pm twice a week most of the time except one training session will be in the evening as usual and one...

I'm curious about different countries school systems. In Australia, most (possibly all now) states have: 4 school terms a year 2 weeks break between terms Holidays from mid- to late-December for about 6 weeks. a few random public holidays thrown in through the year School days generally start...

Dd (7) is about to finish school for the summer (22nd July), according to dd the coach is having the girls come in to train during the day day and her hours will increase from 5 to 10 (maybe more) - this is hearsay at the moment until we get the official word. Dd gets given conditioning and...

Looking if anybody knows about any summer camp that level 9 boys can benefit from.

Just curious when most gyms decide which level kids compete for the following season.

DD (almost 6) is finishing up at her current gym, but will have 3 whole weeks before she starts at her new gym. I'm pretty sure I (and quite possibly my furniture) won't be able to handle it. As it is now, with gym two days a week, her time at home is spent doing vaults over the love seat...

My daughter is level 8 and has never been at gym camps. She is asking to go but at her level I don't know of any that could expose her to some new, fun skills while conditioning her well? If that exists? I have read so many posts on recreational camps but what about more serious camps? Anything...

I know many people have asked questions on what to bring, what to expect, etc about their child going to a camp this summer..I am asking the same except from the other side of the spectrum. I am going as a coach this summer to IGC and I was wondering if anybody who has been a coach at this camp...

Just wondering if your daughter's hours increase in the summer and if so, by how much? So, what is your daughter's level and school year hours vs. summer? My daughter is a level 7, training for level 8 next season. During the school year they train 19.5 hours a week and during the summer...

We posted our summer schedule recently. One particular group of mine will practice 8-10 am M, T, Th. I just got some upsetting feedback from parents. They are horrified and they said they don't want the kids to practice that early. We really don't have any options because we have so many groups...

Hi all, I'm not looking for "advice" about the camp, as our gym is going as a group, and DD is registered. I've got the "I've never been there before" questions. a) did you pack a leo for every day? b) did you pack a lot of fun clothes? did you need them all? c) we were told they have...
