The University of Minnesota Women's Gymnastics team wants to welcome you to join us as we host our Minnesota Gopher Gymnastics Summer Camps for girls on the campus of the University of Minnesota.  We offer a comprehensive, educational, and fun program for recreational, compulsory, and optional level gymnasts.  Emphasis on individualized instruction will be provided daily on each of the four events (vault, bars, beam, and floor), as well as, dance, strength and flexibility, nutrition, trampoline, and other activities.  An open gym session at the end of each day will provide campers with time to work on the skills of their choice.
