Peninsula Gymnastics Camps asks campers to bring a small bag each day with labeled snacks and lunch (two snacks and one lunch for full day, one snack for half day), filled and labeled water bottles, clothes or a hat for going outside, slide-on shoes or sandals, and a bag to keep these items together. For summer camp, the program is offered for children ages 4 and up, with half and full day options available, and camp opportunities for school-age children are offered throughout the year. The program also offers gymnastics camps for developmental and team gymnasts.

Peninsula Gymnastics was founded in 1995 by Mikhail Margulis, Anna Margulis, and Mark Kachko, and Courtney Johnson joined the team in 1999 and later took ownership of the San Mateo facility. Peninsula Gymnastics reports teaching thousands of children over the last 20 years. The camp is under the management of coaches who are members of the USA Gymnastics Federation, circus performers, and choreographers, and its USA Gymnastics coaches are CPR certified, first-aid trained, and screened through background checks. Peninsula Gymnastics states that health and safety is the number one priority.

Peninsula Gymnastics Camps is an official member of the USA Gymnastics Club. Its stated mission is that the community strives to create healthy lifestyles in youth through the sport of gymnastics. The organization provides gymnastics services for several local entities, including the recreation departments of Burlingame, Foster City, San Mateo, and San Carlos, as well as Peninsula Jewish Community Center, All Our Friends Montessori, St. Ambrose, Sea Breeze School, and Ocean Grove Charter School.
