UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. - The Penn State women's gymnastics program and head coach Jeff Thompson will hold a five-day summer camp June 23-27. The Penn State Girls Gymnastics Camp is open to girls age 6-18. Registration is currently open at www.GoPSUsports.com/camps.
The Girls Gymnastics Camp is designed to provide a full gymnastics experience at Penn State. Emphasis is placed on skill development in all four Olympic events. Training is also enhanced through dance and conditioning. Campers will have exclusive use of our state-of-the-art training facility, fully equipped with AAI equipment, foam and resi-pits and much more.
Nearly $2 million dollars in renovations to the White Building gymnastics gym have made the camp facility second-to-none. The gym features new AAI elite series equipment, in-ground loose foam pits, in-ground resi-pits, AAI 20 cm landing mats, three vaulting stations, four bar stations, four tumbling stations onto a variety of landing surfaces, an in-ground trampoline with overhead spotting and a loose foam pit landing area. There is also a full complement of sting mats, four-inch throw mats and eight-inch skill cushions for every event.
During the camp, time will be made during activity groups for campers to visit some of the Penn State University landmarks such as the Penn State Creamery, Bookstore and All-Sport Museum.
The camp staff will also include Penn State associate head coach Rachelle Thompson and Penn State assistant coach Randy Monahan.
