Who thrives here Ages 6–11
Gymnastics Camp fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given specialty program.

Frequently asked about Gymnastics Camp
- What ages does Gymnastics Camp accept?
- Gymnastics Camp is open to children ages 6–11. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
- How much does Gymnastics Camp cost?
- Gymnastics Camp publishes $325/week for the standard session. That sits 18% above the $275 median for specialty camps in Alexandria — typical for specialty programs with smaller groups or premium facilities. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
- What are Gymnastics Camp's hours?
- Gymnastics Camp runs 9am-4pm 6/22-26. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
- Who runs Gymnastics Camp?
- Gymnastics Camp is operated by the local parks department. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
- Does Gymnastics Camp provide lunch?
- Gymnastics Camp does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
