Why Summer is the Perfect Time to Flip Into Gymnastics & Parkour

May 20, 2025

Unlocking Confidence, Movement, and Fun All Summer Long!

When school’s out and the days are long, there’s one big question on every parent’s mind:
How do I keep my kids active, engaged, and off their screens this summer?

Enter: gymnastics and parkour — the perfect blend of movement, fun, and skill-building to keep your child thriving during summer break.

“We’re not just filling time during the summer… we’re building strength, character, and joy that lasts long after the season ends.”
— Paige Conroy, CEO, San Diego Gymnastics & Parkour

1. Keep the Routine, Ditch the Boredom

Summer can throw off even the most structured routines, but having weekly classes or day camps keeps kids on track. With regular movement and activity built into their day, kids maintain a sense of normalcy while getting all the benefits of fitness, social time, and structured play.

2. Build Strength, Confidence, and New Skills

Whether it’s landing their first flip, mastering a tricky obstacle, or leveling up their balance beam skills, gymnastics and parkour are powerful confidence boosters. These sports develop:

  • Strength and coordination
  • Balance and flexibility
  • Spatial awareness and problem-solving
  • Grit, perseverance, and self-esteem

Every achievement, big or small, builds a child’s belief in what they’re capable of.

3. Burn Energy in the Best Way

Let’s face it: kids have energy to burn, and summer gives them even more of it. Our camps and classes channel that energy into movement, creativity, and teamwork. From flips and rolls to obstacle courses and skill circuits, they’ll go home happy, tired, and proud.

4. Friendships, Fun, and Freedom

Camp days are packed with themed games, team challenges, crafts, and open play, giving kids the chance to meet new friends and express themselves in a safe, supportive environment. Our programs celebrate individuality and movement in all forms—no experience required.

5. More Than a Sport—It’s a Summer Experience

At our gym, we’re more than a gymnastics or parkour program—we’re a community. Our summer offerings are designed to inspire, support, and elevate every kid who walks through the door. Whether they join us for a week of camp or a summer of classes, your child will leave stronger, more confident, and ready for their next adventure.
