What International Gymnastics Camp does

International Gymnastics Camp (IGC) is a privately held, family-owned sleepaway gymnastics camp founded in 1971 by the Klaus Family and currently operating under third-generation family ownership. The company runs its operations from a 50+ acre campus in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, in the Pocono Mountains, with a physical footprint that includes five separate gyms dedicated to artistic gymnastics, Olympic-caliber apparatus, chalet-style air-conditioned cabins, a 200-foot waterslide, a high ropes course, a swimming pool, and a dining hall branded as the International Cafe. IGC holds the longest-standing accreditation from the American Camp Association among gymnastics summer camps and is the only camp globally operating five dedicated artistic gymnastics gyms. The business employs 51-100 staff year-round, supplemented by seasonal counselors and over 30 recreation specialists each summer, with staff drawn from more than 20 countries.

The core product is the Traditional Overnight Program, a week-long residential summer camp priced at $1,695 per week, delivering six coached gymnastics rotations per day, an 8:1 or better camper-to-coach ratio, themed weeks, evening recreational activities, and cabin accommodations. Adjacent product lines include a Day Camp Program, Summer Mini Camps (3-4 days, $995), an Autumn Clinic ($495), Spring Programs with club facility rentals, the Visiting Coaches Program for gymnastics clubs sending 10+ gymnasts, IGC University coaching clinics, the Celebrity Guest Program featuring Olympic and World team athletes, and the Kount on Kindness character initiative. Pricing is structured with a $300 per-week deposit and pay-at-your-own-pace option before May 1st, plus tiered multi-week and sibling discounts and optional Program Protector tuition insurance at 5-7.5% of session fees. An on-site and Shopify-powered online canteen store generates ancillary merchandise and snack revenue.

IGC distributes primarily direct-to-consumer through its website and CampInTouch enrollment portal, with a secondary B2B channel via gymnastics clubs (Visiting Coaches Program and Club Fundraiser Program). Since inception the camp has served over 150,000 campers from 60+ countries. Sister businesses include International Sports Training Camp (ISTC), a sports training facility 1 mile away, and Trout Lake Retreats, which operates the ISTC campus September through May for groups, special events, and weddings. The company is privately held with no outside investors, no funding rounds, and no public stock listing.

Regional players

• Camp Canadensis: Premier traditional sleepaway camp also located in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Competes for the same regional overnight camp market and family demographic, though without IGC's gymnastics specialization.
• Camp Lohikan: Long-established Pennsylvania sleepaway camp in Wayne County. Regional peer competing for the same Northeast family market; comparable premium overnight camp model but lacks the gymnastics specialization that defines IGC.
• Camp Towanda: Traditional Honesdale, PA sleepaway camp operating for nearly a century. Regional peer in the same Northeastern overnight camp market, competing for family summer-camp budgets but offering a general (non-gymnastics) program.

Broad incumbents

• US Sports Camps (Nike Sports Camps): Large multi-sport summer camp operator running Nike-branded programs across the US. Comparable business model (sports-specific overnight camp) but operates at national scale across many sports, not specializing in gymnastics.
• IMG Academy: Year-round sports training and academic institution offering elite-level coaching across multiple sports including gymnastics. Comparable only in the elite athlete training and coaching-education dimensions, but at much larger scale and with year-round operations.

Direct peers

• Crown Point Gymnastics Camp: Long-running gymnastics sleepaway camp offering week-long residential training programs for gymnasts of all skill levels. Closest direct competitor to IGC with similar overnight program model, multi-week pricing structure, and focus on artistic gymnastics instruction.
• Everest Gymnastics Camp: Specialty gymnastics camp program focused on intensive artistic gymnastics training. Competes with IGC for the same gymnastics-focused family market, often differentiated by location and program intensity.
• Camp IHC (Intensive Half-Camp): Gymnastics and dance specialty sleepaway camp serving similar youth segments with multi-day training intensives. Comparable in scale and family-owned character to IGC, competing for the same gymnastics-camp family demographic.
