School Age Gymnastics

Building great gymnastics and stellar humans from the ground up.

Ages 5 and Up

Our Recreational Class Program is coed and designed for kids ages 5 and up. Our classes range from 55 to 90 minutes and students are grouped by age and ability. Each class includes a structured warm-up followed by focused instructional rotations on all Olympic events.

At Base Camp Gymnastics, we have developed a progressive level system designed to support long-term growth and skill development. Our classes range from beginner to advanced levels, allowing every child to feel challenged, successful, and excited about their progress.

All of our classes follow the Base Camp Lesson Plan System. This thoughtfully designed system ensures that every student is learning proper technique in a fun, safe, and structured environment. Lessons emphasize foundational gymnastics principles such as body alignment, posture, correct hand and foot placement, and safe skill progressions.

Students train on professional gymnastics equipment, including vault, bars, balance beam, floor, tumble track, and more. All are set up to support confidence, safety, and skill development at every age and level.

Placement is based on age, experience, and coach recommendation to ensure every child is set up for success in their class.
