Misssion and Core Values
The National Gymnastics Training Camp will assist each girl to exceed her expectations as a gymnast and to fulfill her potential as a developing athlete. As a branch of the YMCA of Greater NY we deliver a service that promotes positive values through programs that build spirit, mind and body, welcoming all people, with a focus on youth. Participants are accepted regardless of race, color, national origin or religion.
How we do this:
Learn in a fun and safe environment
Our teaching philosophy: Make it Fun, Keep it Safe and Teach it Right the First Time guides our experienced National and International coaching staff.
Professional, fully trained summer camp counselors in each cabin
Nobody does it better! Our cabin staff are top people who are selected from around the world after a rigorous selection progress that includes a written application, a lengthy interview and references. They are trained in the principles and practices outlined by the YMCA, the American Camp Association and the State of New York.
Coaches support campers to reach their individual goals
Our seven to one gymnast to coach ratio provides small group instruction and time for more one-on-one instruction than any other camp. Each camper's skills are evaluated at the beginning of each session so that each gymnast sets obtainable goals and receives appropriate training.
Our Vision
Gymnastics is the art of science. Each coach brings to camp a lifetime of both GYMNASTICS and CAMP experience. The respect for each other, the campers and the sport is our base. Our coaches are all professionals, Gymnastics isn't one thing they do. It is THE THING they do. They each take the responsibility to teach gymnastics in a FUN and SAFE environment. As professionals who work with young athletes throughout the year, they know the importance of building relationships in the gym based on caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
All this together is the recipe for a successful summer.
