Gymnastics Camp 2019

Honestly Ally was dreading camp this year. Last year she was the oldest camper and really didn’t enjoy doing so many of the recreational activities and wished it was more gymnastics focused. Her coach and the gym said that would change and it did. 

Ally had the best summer yet of gymnastics. She attended camp 35 days this summer 9-330 every day. Which meant she was gone 8-4 because of carpool and commuting time. 

She accomplished her summer goals, worked really hard and had fun. Hard to ask for much more than that.

Baby animals for the petting zoo one week.

Waiting for dance class to start.

Getting ready to Kayak. This year they had a visiting coach from the Ukraine, she is the blonde woman on the left, Olga. It was a great experience to work with her. Ally did a couple of private lessons with her and she choreographed Allys beam routine for this year.

Olga told Becky that Allys flexibility is fantastic and that Ally is the only girl in the entire team program (over 100 girls) who can do a vertical split. Pictured above. It was so great for Allys confidence to work with her one on one.

Carpool! With Eliana and her little brother Gavi.

Carnival week

As I told her would happen Ally is no longer the tallest! Kavi and Katherine (who is not pictured) are taller than Ally. Each week different girls are at camp based on their family schedule. The last week at the end of camp dance it was only Stella, Ally & Kavi from their team.

Ally is stronger than ever. Even if she doesn’t like to flex for the camera.

We have been so happy to see Ally happy. She had such a rough and challenging Spring being exhausted all the time. But with help from her doctors and a lot of self care, Ally has been enjoying gymnastics and life more than she has in a long time.

She sleeps well for 10+ hours a night, takes care of her skin, keeps her room clean all the time. It’s been wonderful to see and be a part of the past few months.
