Take your child’s camp to the next level with our multi-skill gymnastics camps in our air conditioned training studio. Believe Camps are pure gymnastics fun: each week of camp includes 25 clinics of skill-based training, including gymnastics (bars, vaulting, beams, tumbling), plus obstacle course, trampoline, tumbling, and speed skills. It's a great workout experience for the kids and they love it!

Bring A Friend For Free (BAFFF) promotion returns for 2024! For each full week purchased, camper may bring a friend for any single day during that week; full-day and half-day camps eligible! Call our sales office for details on how to register your guest camper at 503-281-1314.

Campers learn and perfect basic gymnastics skills as they progress through the week so that by the end of the week the campers have their own proficiency level. Full-day camps are 7 hours long, and typically have 4 training clinics per day, with lots of time sandwiched in for fun activities. Half-day camps are 3.5 hours in the morning session only. Campers are separated into pods of 12 or fewer campers based on skill ability, age, and familiarity with gymnastics.

Check-in time for all campers begins at 8:45 AM. Check out time for half-day camp is 12:30-1:00 PM, and checkout time for full day camp is 4:00 PM. Our facility is air conditioned and augmented by an outdoor fresh-air filtration system so campers will have a fun-packed day regardless of the weather. Weather permitting during summer, campers are encouraged to take lunch and snack breaks outside.

Camper personal items must be kept in a zippered or fastened backpack or gym bag, and campers use only their own personal assigned equipment. Sanitation and safety rules require that campers may not share personal items or food with other campers, and food cannot be opened in the training studio. Physical contact between campers is not permitted.

Trampoline grip socks are required for campers of all ages to use our trampolines. Please bring trampoline socks, or they are available at check-in for $6 to $9 per pair, and are re-usable for future camps or classes. Hand wash in cold water and air dry after each use.

Family Membership is not required to register for camp, but if if your camper is a student in any of our club classes you are probably already hold membership. Believe Camps are ideal for children ages 5 to 13; ages 5 through 6 are generally limited to half-day morning camps only. Full-day (9pm - 4pm) for ages 7-13. Believe Camps provide a different and exciting method of instruction for youth. The Believe Camps program activities take place entirely within the safe boundaries of the Clubhouse.

Our program is designed so that beginners learn with experienced students. Groups are skill-based, without regard to age; using this proven method, the newer children develop new skills, while the more-advanced campers learn confidence and leadership. Believe Camps has a very high success rate with beginner-level gymnasts, while allowing experienced gymnasts to maintain physical condition and form. Parents report that their children come home after a day of camp with a renewed enthusiasm for continuing their gymnastics skills.

Anytime Flex Passes are good for any full day camp dates, up to 15 days maximum, valid use for 24 months, for $699.00 for one camper (member or nonmember, pass price is the same). Flex Passes are non-refundable and non-transferable from the assisgned child. We offer 45 days of camp throughout the year. Your child's Flex Pass is tracked in your Customer Service Portal and your can reserve camps there also or on this reservation form. Flex Passes can be used by the day or by the week, or even for drop-in, providing space is available. Flex Passes are non-transferrable and can only be used by the child to which they are registered. (Note: Early Bird offers, when available, do not apply to Flex Pass purchases.)

Each full day of camp includes six 50-minute training clinics which equal three weeks of regular gymnastics and cheer training, in a single day. The last clinic of the day is actually a regular USA Gymnastics format class, giving campers a realistic class experience. Blocks of time are scheduled between clinics for rest, play, group games, snacks, and socializing. The important feature is that after each day of camp the kids go home with a realization that they have improved on their skills.

Campers take their snack and lunch breaks outdoors on one of our two covered patios, (weather permitting) for extra sunshine and fresh air. In addition to the HVAC systems in the building, a recently installed auxiliary fresh-air exchange system with dual intake filter systems constantly replaces indoor air with fresh air to remove dust and pollen.

While the kids are having fun, the physical intensity is often greater than campers may realize; for that reason, short leisure time breaks are required. Parents may observe an increase in consumption of carbohydrate and fatty foods during camp week; this is a normal and healthy reaction for the campers. Camp staff require campers to consume extra amounts of water during the camp week, and parents should do the same at home to avoid muscle aches and headaches caused by dehydration. Campers must bring a water bottle and keep it on person at all times while in the training studio. Food and snacks must be kept in the zippered bag except when taken outside the gym for consumption.

Pricing and discounts. Members receive a 10% discount off of the regular camp price. Camps are sold and reserved online by logging into the Customer Service Portal. You can create a Portal account using only your email address, name, and phone number. Family memberships support financially disadvantaged students who take classes at our club and only cost $79 per year for the entire family.

The recommended minimum age for full-day camps is 7, but parents should be mindful if a child has not experienced being a full day away from home prior to camp. All children age 5 and older are eligible for half-day morning camps (junior camp). Campers are grouped by age and skill level. Parents are welcome to remain on the premises in designated seating areas; space is limited.
