What are our Summer Camps all about?
​​Join us for a summer of adventure at Minneapolis Gymnastics!
At Minneapolis Gymnastics, our Summer Camps are all about having fun! Our Summer Camps programming is for all students, ages 5-11, who need a safe, engaging environment for the summer months.
Your student does not need to be a gymnast at our gym to attend camps. Camps are a great way to get an introduction to the sport of gymnastics, but our camp curriculum is so much more than gymnastics training.
Our campers spend time playing, learning, and building relationships with other campers and our amazing counseling staff.
What does a typical day at camp look like?
Each camp day will start with an opening ceremony with all the campers. Throughout the day, campers will rotate through stations with their dedicated camp counselor, along with a pod of fellow campers. Rotations will include crafts, games, themed activities, and of course gymnastics! After two rotations, campers will have a short snack break, followed by more time for rotations, then lunch, open gym, theme time, and closing ceremonies! Extended hours are also available! You can choose to add morning, afternoon, or both to your camp registration. Whatever suits your family's needs!
Days will be packed full of fun!
Each week will be fresh and exciting as our activities will revolve around a new theme! Our daily schedule will allow lots of time for kids to explore, engage, and learn with the specific topic for that week. All of our themes include gymnastics training elements, but are not limited only to gymnastics instruction. Check out a full list of our themed weeks here!

What is NEW about Summer Camps this year?
This Summer, we completely reimagined our Summer Camps!
​
1. Summer Camps are now a full-day experience instead of just 3 hours. With a more robust schedule, we are able to meet the needs of more families who desire a safe place for their student for the full work day! With extended hours available both before and after camp, we are able provide a solution to your unique scheduling needs! Friday camp programming (FriYAY) is also available for the first time this summer!
​
2. Each week now has a new, dedicated theme with age-appropriate curriculum that builds throughout the week, keeping each day fresh and exciting. Campers will work together, alongside their counselor and fellow campers, to create something that they can showcase at the end of each camp week on Thursday. Families may stay for that closing time to celebrate in all that their student is learning!
​
3. The cost of Summer Camps has also changed at a glance! The cost may appear quite a bit more expensive than previous years, and this is simply due to the duration of our camps being twice as long as they have been in the past. See below for a full breakdown of options!
Cost:
​​The cost of Summer Camps is determined by how many weeks you wish for your camper to attend. The cost per student is automatically discounted at checkout based on the number of camp weeks you register for.
The more weeks, the better the value!​​​​
