Mark your calendars for summer camps at the University of Kentucky. The camps are offered to female gymnasts ages 6-18. Campers must be 12 years old at the start of camp to stay overnight in the dorms.

At the UK gymnastics camps, we are committed to providing a learning environment that is fun and challenging to the campers. Our qualified staff has many years of experience in competitive level coaching and will provide a safe and productive atmosphere.
