INVITE ONLY LTAD Summer Camps [Cochrane]
Our LTAD program has been very successful in the development of Artistic Gymnastics gymnasts wanting to push their ability through mastery of skills based on technique and skill acquisition. These camps are by invitation only and is typically for those committed to training in our 10-month program that starts each September. The focus in these camps will be geared towards progressions leading into new skill sets for the next competition/performance year, based on your child's individual abilities.
Participants are invited to the camp that their coach feels will best suit their development. Only register for the specific camp your child was invited to.
General Summer Camp 2026 Registration opens February 1, 2026 at 8:00AM. LTAD Teams Summer Camp Registration are encouraged to review any summer camp information sent out by the club manager.
