The Children's Gym Camps

The Children's Gym Camps offer gymnastics classes, camps, special events, child care, fun activities for kids, Irish dancing classes and camps, music instruction, and open gym. Children can take part in Irish dancing events, 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.

• Ages: 1–14 years old
• Schedule: Regular classes are held during the normal school year, and during normal school breaks (two weeks in December, one week in the spring, and the summer months) regular Monday–Friday classes pause and full day camps are held; Saturday classes continue during breaks unless the Saturday falls on a listed holiday.

The Children's Gym Camps were established in 1984 and moved to a larger space in 2010, and the gym has been embraced and supported by families and the city for nearly 42 years. The program is led by Founder and Owner Traci Vogel and Chief Operating Officer Andrea Lawrence. Its mission states that it is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inspiring learning space where children feel encouraged and confident in developing their unique strengths, with a goal of nurturing a sense of agency and empowerment in gymnastics and in the community. Oregon Irish Dance Academy offers classes, camps, and events inside The Children’s Gym, and Keys to Life Music School is located inside The Children’s Gym and offers music instruction for all ages. One parent testimonial reports that two previously shy and reserved girls became more confident, more willing to speak up and share creative ideas, and more ready to interact with new friends after taking classes at The Children’s Gym Camps.
