The Children's Gym Camps

The Children’s Gym Camps offer gymnastics classes, camps, special events, child care, and fun activities for kids. The program also includes Irish dancing classes, Irish dancing camps, Irish dancing events, music instruction, private instruction in piano, guitar, voice, and drums, group piano lessons for children ages 6–8, an introduction to music class for preschoolers, and a rock band for kids 5 and up. During normal school breaks, the program offers full day camps.

• Ages: 1–14 years old
• Schedule: Regular classes are held during the normal school year, and during normal school breaks (2 weeks in December, 1 week in the spring, and the summer months) full day camps are held Monday through Friday while Saturday classes continue, except on specified holidays.

The Children’s Gym was established in 1984 and later moved to a larger space in 2010, and it has been embraced and supported for nearly 42 years. The program operates with a non-competitive environment, small student-to-teacher ratios, and professionally tailored classes for ages 1 through 14 at every ability and skill level. Oregon Irish Dance Academy and Keys to Life Music School both operate inside The Children’s Gym. The leadership team includes Founder and Owner Traci Vogel and Chief Operating Officer Andrea Lawrence. The stated mission focuses on fostering a welcoming and inspiring learning space, nurturing a sense of agency and empowerment, building heartfelt and genuine connections, and supporting confidence and self-belief in students. One parent, Debbie, shared that her children became more confident, more willing to speak up and share creative ideas, and more comfortable interacting with new friends after attending classes at The Children’s Gym.
