YMCA Gymnastics camps are a fun-filled week of instruction of gymnastics skills for boys and girls of all ages and levels. Learn cartwheels, backbends and back handsprings. Each day your child will have instructional rotations on Vault, Bars, Beam, Floor, Dance and Tumble Track. Gymnastics builds self-esteem, flexibility, self-discipline, strengthens muscles and teaches life skills. Other activities could include climbing rope, games, dance, skits and swimming.
