FlightSchool's Flip-n-Friends Camp!

2005

We would like to say thank you to all of our campers! This year we have athletes from FlightSchool in Hillsboro, Rose City Gymnastics in Portland, Gymnastics Plus in Coos Bay, and Umpqua Valley Gymnastics in Roseburg! We also want to thank our awesome camp coaching staff, Lynette Sappington, events, Khumbalani Moyo,events, and Lindsey Gruber is our ballet instructor and dance teacher! 

Keep checking back to this page and hopefully throughout the week we will be adding pictures and new skills that the girls get or skills that they have improved upon. We are looking forward to a week of great fun, great friendships built, and some fantastic gymnastics!
