From June 1st through August 21st, kids will flip, climb, tumble, and create in an upbeat environment designed to keep them active, learning, and happy. Each week brings a new theme filled with gymnastics, ninja challenges, games, crafts, and activities that build confidence, coordination, and friendships that last long after summer ends.

Camps fill quickly at our locations in Chesterfield, Ellisville, Ellisville Ninja City, Manchester, Mid Rivers, Rock Hill, and Team Central (Maryland Heights).
