Camps

This is am example of a gymnastics camp. If a gymnast wants further training, they can go to a camp in the summer. They can go anywhere from one week to the whole summer. Two main camps are IGC (International Gymnastics Camp) and Woodward. |
| This is the vault gym at IGC. Gymnasts come here when they want to work a specific skill on vault. You can vault into loose foam pits or onto mats. A loose foam pit is a lot of soft blocks in a pit in the ground so a gymnast can work a new skill and have a lesser chance of getting hurt. | |

This is the beam gym gym at IGC. The beam gym is specifically for gymnasts to work skills on beam. All of the beams are over safety mats, but if you like, you can dismount into a loose foam pit. |

This is the bar gym at IGC. The bar gym is for gymnasts to work specific skill son bars. There is a tunnel bar in this gym. The tunnel bar is where there are two high mats by a bar to make the bar seam lower to the ground. there is a gap in between the two mats so the gymnast can swing and dismount. A tunnel bar makes the gymnast feel more safe because the bar is lower to the ground. |

This is the floor gym at IGC. Gymnasts come here when they want to work a specific skill on floor or their floor dance. There is also a vault and bars in this gym because it is so big. usually men come to this gym because there is a high bar over a loose foam pit. Also, there is a pommel horse for men. |
| This is the dance gym at IGC. In the dance gym, gymnasts learn a dance that they will perform at the end of the week. There is a new dance every week. Also, gymnasts can work any dance that they want to for their floor and beam routines. | |
