THE ORIGINAL ADULT GYMNASTICS TRAINING CAMP is happening once again in summer of 2024: July 26-28
*ATLANTIC GYMNASTICS - PORTSMOUTH, NH*
***we will watch the olympics together during this camp!!!***
this will be our 13th camp!
see the review from our last camp by clicking here!
Our 12th camp was our largest yet with 72 registered athletes. New this year was a competition clinic for Xcel and DP levels, a competitive routine feedback, an outdoor group lunch, and a recovery rotation available. We also had an International Clinician teach us no spotting drills, a Beach Trip, and a Gymnastics Watch Party! Read the 2023 Camp Review now.
we are THE world's FIRST ADULT-ONLY GYMNASTICS CAMP! that's why we are called "the original"
Come to a 3-day camp where competitive and recreational adult gymnasts of all levels can learn at their own pace alongside our internationally recognized staff! We focus on the women's artistic events, but guys are welcome to come play too. The Original Adult Gymnastics camp features structured training on Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor plus TumblTrak, Trampoline, Strap Bar and Dance! The facility has resi pits, a loose foam pit, highway beams, and a TumblTrak vault. You may skip events and double up on others if you prefer. You are an adult, after all! :) We offer 13 hours of instruction over 3 days plus an eductational clinic and 3 groups meals you may opt into. We tie it all together with an optional beach hangout after camp.
In addition to group training we always extra coaches available that you can approach to ask for individualized help. There are contests and games along the way with fun prizes too! We always include structured options during our 3 hour open gym that includes:
- Competitive Clinic to Create Routines for Xcel or DP levels
- Choreography Breakdown
- Get a Routine Judged for Free
- Conditioning Circuit Ideas
- Trampoline Instruction
- Dance Class
The training you will receive is top of the line, and we have groups for all levels so you are sure to feel right at home with your current skills and ability. Even if it's your very first day of gymnastics you are welcome to attend our camp. We always have groups for competitive gymnasts and for those with a high skill level too. We have expanded our staff to boast ratios of 6 campers per coach. We nclude a Gymnastics Watch Party - always a hit! This year we will be blessed to have the Paris Olympics Streaming during our camp while we enjoy a buffet dinner together.
There are 2 major airports within an hour of the gym (Manchester NH and Boston MA). There is a smaller airport within a mile of the gym that serves limited areas (Pease International). There is typically beach traffic coming from Massachusetts and New York north to Portsmouth in the summer, so please plan accordingly. There is a bus line that can bring you from Boston to Portsmouth and once at camp, there are usually plenty of campers offering rides. All of our activities are within 15 minutes of the gym.

We always have an official camp videographer and photographer on hand to capture the memories. You will have access to them for free after camp ends.
we always have multiple beginner, intermediate and advanced groups for event training.
This ensures that all athletes get the attention they need in a comfortable and productive way! We also have entire group warmups, contests, games and social activities to ensure that we all get to know each other no matter what our skill level. Making new friends and enjoying this supportive and inclusive community is one of the best parts of camp!

We also have an Athletic Trainer on hand to keep everyone safe and provide treatments. Meghan Mello appeared on Jeopardy in 2022 and gave a shout out to our Camp that we greatly appreciate!

TESTIMONIAL FROM A FIRST-TIME CAMPER!
Hi Gina,
Thank you for creating the amazing, supportive, diverse and professional Adult Gymnastics camp. You gave an excellent overview about what to expect in your emails before the camp, but I never could have imagined the wonderful energy that surrounded each of us as we did our best to move forward with our conditioning and skills.
You have created something much more than an adult gymnastics camp.
Thank you!
Mary
The drills we set up on the uneven bars at the original adult gymnastics camp will help you master those skills that have been elluding you.2 MAJOR AIRPORTS AND A BUS LINE SERVE CAMP.
There are 2 major airports within an hour (Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and Logan International Airport). There is also a smaller airport less than a mile away called Pease. Starting Friday afternoon and ending Sunday early evening if you are in the area and need a ride you should not need a vehicle, unless you want to go sight-seeing on your own. There are always folks willing to offer rides. Uber is fairly reliable during daytime and evening hours.
This bus line is a good deal: $27 each way from Logan Airport (Boston) to Portsmouth. It's an 1hr and 30 min trip and they have a new one departing every half-hour. Here is the link to the bus line!
