Insider tips
- **For Summer Camp:** If your child is young (e.g., 4 years old) or requires naps, careful consideration is needed for full-day attendance. The camp is not structured for their needs, and they may experience extreme hunger and exhaustion (Review 3).
- **For Summer Camp:** Consider enrolling younger children for only a portion of the day to avoid over-exhaustion and hunger (Review 3).
- **Drop-off:** Be prepared that morning drop-off, especially for younger children, may lack direct staff reception or guidance into the environment (Review 3).
- **Coaching:** Be aware that there can be coach turnover, which might affect consistency (Review 4).
- **Recreational Programs:** Manage expectations regarding skill development and advancement for recreational levels, as some parents reported dissatisfaction (Review 1).
- **Cleanliness:** If sensitive to odors, be prepared that the facility may have an unpleasant smell (Review 1).
Good to know before you go
- If your child is young (e.g., 4 years old) and requires naps, constant supervision, or cannot advocate for their physical needs (hunger/exhaustion) for a full-day camp (Review 3)
- If you prioritize consistent, low-turnover coaching staff (Review 4)
- If you expect highly attentive customer service, transparent communication, and a clear path for recreational student advancement (Review 1)
- If facility cleanliness and a pleasant environment are critical factors for you (Review 1)
- If you are concerned about bullying or lack of direct supervision for younger children during camp (Review 5)
- Crowds
- Not explicitly mentioned. The facility is described as 'huge' with 'many coaches' (Review 4), which might suggest it can accommodate a decent number of participants without feeling overly crowded, but no direct feedback on actual crowd levels.
- Value
- Specific pricing is not mentioned in the reviews. The perceived value is highly mixed; some families found positive experiences and enjoyment for their children over years (Review 2, Review 4), while others found it lacking in fundamental coaching, communication, and overall support for the price paid, especially at the recreational level (Review 1). For summer camp, the value for younger children is conditional, as it may not meet full-day care needs, potentially requiring additional solutions (Review 3).
- Food
- No explicit food policy is stated. However, a 4-year-old attending full-day camp was reported to be 'sobbing from hunger' and 'begging for food' upon pickup, suggesting that food provision or easy access to snacks for younger children throughout a long day may be insufficient or not well-managed (Review 3).
- Accessibility
- No specific accommodations for special needs are mentioned in the reviews.
- Safety
- Reports of a child receiving a black eye during camp (Review 5).
What parents say
"I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with this gymnastics facility, particularly regarding their lack of customer service and commitment to the athletes, especially at the recreational level. The communication surrounding their programs, schedules, and student progress has been consistently poor, leaving parents in the dark. My daughter attended this gym for two years, and unfortunately, I witnessed a lack of genuine care for her development. Despite being in a recreational program, the coaches seemed disinterested in her progress, and she did not gain the skills one would ex"

"Summer Camp - This camp would of been perfect for my four year old daughter. In fact she loved it. However, the days I kept her there full time I would get her to my car and she would start sobbing from hunger and exhaustion. She was just a little too young to be there for an entire school days length of time (my work day) without a nap. Once I got sleep and a big meal in her she would tell me how much she loved it. But I would consider your child's age and independence level before choosing this camp. The mornings were also difficult for her age level, as there was no one to receive her. Or "
