Real Gymnastics, Really Fun!
We combine a world class facility, expert coaches and Olympic Champions with a positive, energetic staff and tons of great activities to come up with the best combination of gymnastics training and summer camp fun.

THE GYMJAM TRAINING PROGRAM
GymJam is directed by Olympic Coach and Olympic Competitor, Chris Waller. Chris's unique achievement and enthusiasm inspires every future champion at camp.  Chris has developed a world class training program to benefit all levels of gymnasts by emulating the training of the best athletes in the world, while modifying it to suit the needs of every camper.  Campers have up to six hours of training per day, including scheduled event rotations and event-choice workouts.  Gymnasts are evaluated upon arrival and placed into workout groups appropriate for their skill levels and then positively motivated to help them achieve their individual goals and realize their potential.

What you'll learn?  
Training focuses on basics, new skills, improving skills, dance (for girls), and mental training, team building, and fun.  Basic skills are reinforced to help build a stronger gymnastics foundation.  GymJammers safely learn new skills through the use of skill progressions, foam pits, excellent matting, belt spotting, trampoline based drills, and hand spotting.  Chris and other expert coaches complete the training program by teaching competition readiness, mental preparation, and motivation.

Goal Setting
Gymnasts are asked to come to camp with personal goals written in their training log.  Campers are taught to constructively set and pursue goals.  With the positive GymJam atmosphere being contagious, campers are often amazed at how many goals they can achieve during camp!  When Gymjammers learn a new skill, they get to show their new skill to an Olympian and ring the "new skill bell"!
