International Gymnastics Camp was founded by the Klaus Family in 1971 and has been uniting the gymnastics world since that year. It is described as a family tradition since 1971. The camp hosts Olympic, World, and National team athletes and coaches from around the world and welcomes gymnasts of all levels, from beginners to elite and national team members. More than 150,000 campers from over 60 countries have attended, and every summer it welcomes gymnasts from all 50 states and over 60 countries.

International Gymnastics Camp states that it is committed to providing a kind, healthy, and safe environment for all campers in all aspects of camp life, and that its programs are built on enriching every camper’s love for gymnastics, developing social skills, making lifelong friendships, enhancing teamwork skills, gaining independence, and making camp magic memories that last a lifetime. The camp is the only Accredited ACA Gymnastics Summer Camp. It is founded and run by the Klaus Family with a stated focus on safety and kindness. The campus includes a centrally located IGC Health Center and a camp store called The IGC Canteen, and a 3D tour of the campus and facilities is available.

The IGC Health Center is staffed 24/7 with an Enrolled Nurse and Certified Athletic Trainers, and a physician is on call at all times. International Gymnastics Camp operates as a nut-sensitive environment and does not serve shellfish. Tuition insurance is offered through Travmark’s Program Protector. Spending money is placed on a canteen account under the camper’s name, set up and managed via a CampMinder “My IGC” login, and accounts can be topped up during the stay; unspent canteen money is refunded to the default credit card within 15 days of departure. Campers can request one cabinmate within approximately one year’s age range, with a reciprocated request.

For campers with severe allergies or sensitivities requiring avoidance of cross-contamination, families are recommended to bring sealed individual meals for the duration of the stay, which must be individually sealed, clearly labeled for each meal and day, microwavable and/or sealed and ready to eat, checked in with chefs during Sunday check-in, nut-free, and without shellfish; any specialty dietary snacks are kept in the Health Center. All medications, including vitamins, must be managed through the Health Center, according to the partial policy provided.

One testimonial describes a camper who knew from their first year that they wanted to return as a counselor and coach and mentions that traditions they loved as a camper were still around a decade later. Another testimonial mentions a camper receiving a 6-year sweatshirt after attending with a best friend since age 7 and describes the sweatshirt as having special meaning. A third testimonial describes a camper meeting close friends at International Gymnastics Camp, including a friend met in the summer of 2008, and explains how their parents arranged weekend visits by meeting halfway between New Jersey and Connecticut.
