A Perfect Summer
Top Leaders
Are in Charge
For Any Young Gymnast
The National Gymnastics Training Camp is the perfect summer experience
for girls 9 to 17—both beginners and experienced competitors—who want
to explore or develop their gymnastics potential. But there’s more at our
Camp. We provide a well-rounded experience that includes an emphasis on
values, making friends, trying new activities and growing.
What a Site!

Our Camp is located on 1,000 acres of lakes and mountains, just 90 minutes north of
New York City. The centerpiece is our Sports Center, the site of USA regional and
state championships. We have hosted the National YMCA Championships and
the Center is home to national workshops all run by USA Gymnastics.
Great Instructors, Great Role Models
Our staff is made up of successful coaches and experienced
gymnasts from around the nation. Many of them return year after
year. They take a great interest in how each gymnast develops day
by day, year by year.
Nothing is more important to our staff than safety. We
screen all gymnasts and group them according to ability.
With 25 teaching stations, each gymnast has her instructor’s full
attention.

Gymnasts progress quickly at the Camp; there are never more than
seven girls to an instructor. Each day, gymnasts rotate through the
four Olympic events and dance, then practice skills during evening
open workouts.
An entire team and its coaches can come to the Camp to work with our staff on
the team’s particular needs. Teams that have
trained with us include: Flippers Gymnastics,
Garland, TX; Daggetts Gymnastics, Agawam, MA;
Bright Raven Gymnastics, Rochester, NY; Cherry
Lane Gymnastics Center, New Hyde Park, NY;
Atlantic Gymnastics, Portsmouth, NH; and many
high school and YMCA teams. Coaches who are
interested in enrolling their teams at the Camp
should contact us for rates.
High school teams can get a jump on their seasons
with instruction from our coaching and judging staff.
Learn new skills and routine construction based on
the FIG Code of Points. We’ll help you develop
routines for all events.
Everything a Gymnast Needs
At the heart of our facility is the spacious, fully-equipped Sports
Center. It has a Sport Court floor and everything is enclosed by
10-foot-high, sliding Plexiglas windows.
Our gymnasts train on the latest official Olympic equipment
that accommodates even the elite gymnast. There are six
sets of uneven bars, 14 balance beams, 3 vaulting stations –
including one with a Resi-landing, two spring floors and
2 Tumble Traks.
The Sports Center also features a training room with whirlpool and
treatment table, and a fitness room. Trainers and medical attention
are available around the clock.
Accommodations are modern chaletstyle lodges. The dining hall serves a buffet at every meal,
including a full salad bar with lunch and dinner.
Play Hard or Take It Easy
Our recreational facilities are perfect, too. There’s
canoeing, rowing, fishing and swimming. Climbing
on our indoor climbing wall. Hiking on miles of
trails. Tennis, volleyball and softball. We even
have a lakeside canteen and sun deck where gymnasts can relax with a snack and beverage.
At night, there are contests, talent shows, movies
and other activities.

It is a great feeling
