this will be our 14th camp!

group of athletes at the original adult gymnastics camp 2025 will be our 13th camp. We love how our camp community grows each and every time!

see the review from our last camp in 2024 by clicking here!

Our 13th camp continued the sold out tradition of accomodating 72 registered athletes. Back by popular demand this year was a competition clinic for Xcel and DP levels, a competitive routine feedback, an outdoor group lunch, and a recovery rotation available. We also had an amazing Rehab and Recovery for Adult Gymnasts clinic taught by coach Ariel where athletes learned a lot of valuable tips. The Camp Watch Party and Beach trip were also widely attended and a ton of fun! ➡️ Read the full 2024 Camp Review now.


we are THE world's FIRST ADULT-ONLY GYMNASTICS CAMP! that's why we are called "the original"

Come to a 3-day camp where competitive and recreational adult gymnasts of all levels can learn at their own pace alongside our internationally recognized staff! We focus on the women's artistic events, but guys are welcome to come play too. The Original Adult Gymnastics camp features structured training on Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor plus TumblTrak, Trampoline, Strap Bar and Dance! The facility has resi pits, a loose foam pit, highway beams, and a TumblTrak vault. You may skip events and double up on others if you prefer. You are an adult, after all! 😀 We offer 13 hours of instruction over 3 days plus an eductational clinic and 3 groups meals you may opt into if you like. 


In addition to group training we always extra coaches available that you can approach to ask for individualized help. There are contests and games along the way with fun prizes too! We always include structured options during our 3 hour open gym that includes:

  • Competitive Clinic to Create Routines for Xcel or DP levels
  • Choreography Breakdown
  • Get a Routine Judged for Free
  • Conditioning Circuit Ideas
  • Trampoline Instruction
  • Dance Class


The training you will receive is amazing and you will have a coach who loves teaching adults. We have 6 groups covering all levels (and including brand-new beginner or decades of rusty!) so you are sure to feel right at home with your current skills and ability. Even if it's your very first day of gymnastics you are welcome to attend our camp. We always have groups for competitive gymnasts and for those with a high skill level too. We have expanded our staff to boast ratios of 6 campers per coach.

2024 The Original Adult Gymnastics Camp Coaches PhotoOur team has you covered on all events. We have 2 coaches per event to ensure that all athletes get their personal needs met.


pictures/videos of the event are free for athletes to access

We always have an official camp videographer and photographer on hand to capture the memories. You will have access to them for free after camp ends.


we will have multiple beginner, intermediate and advanced groups for event training, but also entire group activites

This ensures that all athletes get the attention they need in a comfortable and productive way! We also have entire group warmups, contests, games and social activities to ensure that we all get to know each other no matter what our skill level. Making new friends and enjoying this supportive and inclusive community is one of the best parts of camp! We often have injuried athletes who still come along to do what they can and soak in the atmosphere. Watching rather than particpating is always allowed! We also have an Athletic Trainer on hand to keep everyone safe and provide treatments. Meghan Mello appeared on Jeopardy in 2022 and gave a shout out to our Camp that we greatly appreciate!

TESTIMONIAL FROM A FIRST-TIME CAMPER!

Hi Gina,

Thank you for creating the amazing, supportive, diverse and professional Adult Gymnastics camp. You gave an excellent overview about what to expect in your emails before the camp, but I never could have imagined the wonderful energy that surrounded each of us as we did our best to move forward with our conditioning and skills.

You have created something much more than an adult gymnastics camp.


Thank you!

Mary


feedback from another brand-new camper

What a great thing you have created with this adult gymnastics camp. You’ve done more than just create a community of people who love gymnastics. I had so many people share their personal stories with me on this trip and you’ve created an environment of healing in so many different ways for so many different people. It was a really beautiful thing to see. I’m looking forward to coming back again next year. I literally felt like a kid again excited for summer camp.

2 MAJOR AIRPORTS AND A BUS LINE SERVE CAMP.

There are 2 major airports within an hour (Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and Logan International Airport). There is also a smaller airport less than a mile away called Pease. Starting Friday afternoon and ending Sunday early evening if you are in the area and need a ride you should not need a vehicle, unless you want to go sight-seeing on your own. There are always folks willing to offer rides. Uber is fairly reliable during daytime and evening hours. 

This bus line is a good deal: $27 each way from Logan Airport (Boston) to Portsmouth. It's an 1hr and 30 min trip and they have a new one departing every half-hour. Here is the link to the bus line!

We do not cancel camp due to heat, but rather we take more breaks. We have a lobby and upstairs area with AC if you will need to cool off, as well as a lot of large fans! If sweating isn't your jam, please keep this in mind before you sign up.

The last day for refunds for the balance of $449 if you change your mind is May 25, 2024. You may request the refund for $449 prior to that date by contacting us via email (not Facebook messenger or text). There will be no exceptions to this last day for refunds date. We incur costs based upon the number of enrolled athletes that become fixed as of May 25. The other reason for the deadline is because are not able to remove you from the roster and add another athlete in your place after a May 25 due to logistical issues and the time it takes to make such late adjustments, as we structure the groups very particularly since they are adult groups with hard-to-place skill matches from event to event. Unfortunately if you are not going to be able to make it for any reason you cannot receive the money back at that point. If you request to receive a refund of the balance of $449 after the deadline, or if you request a refund of your $100 nonrefundable deposit, you will receive a copy of this policy which is also posted on our checkout page for your reference.
