Frequently asked questions.
1. Why should I go to your camp instead of one of the Huge Summer Camps?
There are a number of reasons, the first is probably cost. At those bigger camps you work out for 5 days and pay between $550-$650, verses only $140 for 3 days of workouts. At the QCG Camp you will be coached by experienced, proven junior coaches. Although it is great to have autograph sessions with gymnasts, the fact is you come to camp to learn. Who better to teach you than coaches that are producing some of the top gymnasts in the country?
2. Yeah but don't the Big Camps have better facilities?
Queen City has all the equipment necessary for a successful camp. Including 3.5 spring floors, 6 trampolines, 3 high bars, 1 trench bar, 4 pommel horses, 3 sets of rings, 7 sets of parallel bars, two 50' in ground Tumble Traks, foam and resi pits for each piece of equipment, and a power tumbling strip. Check out the pictures of our facilities and compare for yourself.
3. But is there anything fun to do at your camp too?
Queen City is part of the 86,000 square foot Kid's First Sports Complex. It also contains a basketball court, pool and indoor soccer. Friday night at the camp there will be a pizza party and movies for the gymnasts, dodge ball in the soccer area, and Saturday afternoon we will be going to the Beach Waterpark. The Beach is the biggest waterpark in the Cincinnati area. Entrance into the waterpark is included in the cost of your camp!
4.Can my coaches attend?
Yes, we encourage all your coaches to attend for free. This camp is a great way for your coach to learn invaluable tips from some of the top coaches in the country. If your coach comes, we'll even pay for his entrance into the Beach. Coaches that are interested in working the camp should contact Keith Pettit.
5. Where will I sleep?
You have two choices. You and your team can rent a hotel room at the host hotel at your cost, or you can bring a sleeping bag and sleep in the gym. We also have individual showers, just remember to bring a towel. It is recommended that children under 10 sleep in a hotel with their parents.
6. What about food?
Kid's First has a snack bar complete with sandwiches, pizza, hot dogs, salads, bagels, macaroni & cheese, etc. There are also a number of restaurants nearby. Friday night's Pizza Party will be included as part of the camp. The rest of the meals will be your responsibility.
7.Will there be other gymnasts at my level?
This camp is open to any gymnast that competes Class 5 or above or high school gymnasts. We will have beginner class 5's all the way up through National Team Members. What other camp can have you train along side current and former Jr and Sr National Team Members?
8. Ok, I'm hooked, now how do I register?
Your gym has probably received information in the mail, ask your coach. If not, you can call 513-489-7575 and ask for Dara Grant. You can also email Keith Pettit or Dara Grant for more information.
