☀️ What’s the Difference Between Summer Camp & Summer Flip Fest? 🤸‍♀️

We’ve had lots of questions, so here’s a quick breakdown! 👇

⭐ Summer Flip Fest
Flip Fest is more like our regular season classes during the fall. Gymnasts come once a week throughout the summer to continue building skills, flexibility, and strength while staying active and progressing steadily.

⭐ Summer Camp
Camp is a fun, high-energy experience where gymnasts work on skills and routines in just one week’s time! Perfect for gymnasts wanting an exciting week of learning, fun, and gymnastics.

💥 Both options are very similar and great for skill building — it just depends on your summer schedule and goals!

✔️ Want consistent training all summer? → Flip Fest
✔️ Want a fun one-week experience? → Summer Camp
✔️ Want both? Even better! 😄

Hope this helps explain the difference! Message us with any questions! 💙
