You’ve completed the IGC camper application, sent the deposit, chose a week, received a “My IGC Login” username and password, and your camper is counting down the days until check-in time. Congratulations, you are officially registered for IGC summer 2012! So what should you do next?
- Review your IGC invoice:
Your IGC invoice is located in your parent account under the “Financial Management” tab. The invoice includes the sessions you’ve registered for as well as your remaining balance (after the deposit). If you have registered your child after April 1, all forms and balances are due within two weeks of the date you registered. Tuition balances must be made by personal check, money order or certified check unless otherwise noted. If you are interested in a payment plan, please contact the IGC office.
- Review form requirements:
There are several forms parents must complete located in your parent account under the “Forms and Documents” tab. Your IGC registration is considered incomplete until all necessary forms and documents are accurately filled out, signed and processed by the IGC office. Parents are required to complete the following forms:
- Physician’s Examination Form – If your child has had a physical in the past year, parents can attach the doctor’s general physical form to IGC’s physical form)

- Health History – Parents are required to fill in as much information as possible
- Media Release – Electronic signature is required

- Tuition Insurance – You are not required to purchase the tuition insurance. However, parents must complete the form and either accept or deny the tuition insurance)
- Transportation Form – How will your child be traveling to camp? If your camper is traveling by plane or bus, it is extremely important that you send your child’s itinerary to the IGC office at office@internationalgymnastics.com. If your child needs to be picked up from the Lehigh Valley Airport, Mount Pocono bus station or Delaware Water Gap bus station there is an additional fee based upon the date the IGC office receives your itinerary.
There are also several “OPTIONAL” forms that parents may either leave blank or fill out as necessary:
- Bunk Request – requests must be within one-year of age difference and the child you are requesting must also request your child
- Cancellation form 2012 – If you are cancelling your IGC registration, this form must be completed
- Medical Administration Form – Required only if you are bringing medications to camp
When all forms are completed and processed by the administration office, parents may choose to add funds to their camper’s canteen account. Parents can qualify for Express Check-in when all balances are paid, all 2012 forms and documents are complete and on file with the office, and money is added to the camper’s canteen account at least one week prior to your scheduled session.
See you in summer 2012!

For ten wonderful weeks, campers ages 7 to 17, beginner through advanced gymnasts, travel to the IGC campus in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, for the ultimate summer camp experience! About 400 campers will enroll in each of IGC’s ten sessions, many of whom are first-time campers. IGC’s enrollment is open all summer as long as there is space in the session you wish to attend.
If you’re a prospective parent interested in sending your child to camp for the first time, IGC is here to help with the enrollment process! In the past few years IGC has increased the functionality of its website to include new online features. The online enrollment process is quick and simple, and all necessary forms and documents are easily accessible by logging into your individual parent account called the “My IGC Login.”
My IGC Login is the tool that parents will use to:
• Register for Camp
• Complete required forms and documents
• Update family and credit card information
• Activate and fund the canteen account by credit card
• View important documents and information like the Parent-Camper Guide
TIP: Make sure the internet browser you are using is Mozilla FireFox, as opposed to Internet Explorer. The “My IGC Login” system is optimized for Mozilla. If Mozilla is not your default browser, it is free to download here.
IGC’s enrollment process is done entirely through the IGC website. Please be reminded that registration is on a first come, first serve basis. A deposit of $250 will be asked at the time of registration to ensure your camper’s spot in the session of your choice, provided there is space available. After April 1, all required forms, documents and remaining tuition payments are due within two weeks of the initial enrollment date.
TIP: If the week you chose is full you can request to be added to the wait list or choose an alternate week.
TIP: If your child has had a physical examination within the last year (before their arrival at camp), you may submit your doctor’s general physical form in place of the IGC form.
The “My IGC Login” can be found under the “Parent” link on the top of the IGC website. Parents can access their “My IGC Login” accounts at any time by entering their user name and password.
TIP: If you forget your password at any time or have any questions regarding registration, please contact the IGC office at 570-620-0244 or by email at office@internationalgymnastics.com. General camp questions can also be directed to IGC’s Facebook page.
We hope to see you in summer 2012!
 Why should you register your child at IGC as opposed to a regular summer camp? At International Gymnastics Camp, your camper will receive world-class gymnastics training combined with a traditional summer camp experience! We create opportunities for campers to feel positive about themselves both inside and outside of the gym, but what if your child has never done gymnastics before?
IGC has the tools to teach gymnastics at any level. If your child is interested in gymnastics, but has never stepped foot into a gym ― IGC is the place to be. With five state-of-the-art gyms designed to teach progression, and a professional, knowledgeable staff focusing on personal goal setting, IGC promotes an active lifestyle physically, mentally and socially.
Children benefit from physical activity and gymnastics is the core of many sports and skills. The physical benefits of gymnastics ― strength, flexibility, speed, balance and coordination can be an asset to any athlete.
Gymnastics also promotes learning skills that are helpful in the classroom like listening, following directions, taking turns, being quiet, respecting others and discipline. IGC’s gymnastics camp program and our recreational activities, such as Scary Aerie ropes and climbing course and Recreation Challenge Area, allow campers to gain self-confidence and build self-esteem.
IGC campers range from 7 to 17 years old and are beginner to advanced gymnasts. With over 39 years of gymnastics excellence, our main concern is the further development of our campers as gymnasts and as people. We are not just a gymnastics camp, we are IGC!

The IGC Cares Contest asked IGC fans everywhere to tell us about an experience they shared at IGC for the chance to win an amazing opportunity – a special visit from a celebrity gymnast at the winner’s home gym! We’ve received some great entries and we’ve narrowed it down to three finalists. Meet our top IGC Cares Contest contenders and view their contest submissions here:
Sofia Vazquez, 12, of Fort Myers, Florida, submitted a video entry entitled “A One-Year Journey Through Gymnastics Ups and Downs.” Watch Sofia’s video on the IGC YouTube Channel here.
Amanda Huckel, mother of 12-year-old camper Tayla Huckel, of Melbourne, Australia, wrote about a special experience shared at IGC:
“It is amazing how easy yet how hard it is to bring your daughter to the other side of the world and leave her there. As we are from Australia, we decided to allow our daughter the experience of a lifetime. The IGC staff made the drop off easy considering we knew nobody there. They made me feel completely comfortable leaving my child in the hands of strangers knowing she would have an amazing time. With this knowledge I left my daughter and flew to another state.
I stalked the photo pages daily hoping to see a photo of her having a great time. Finally one appears and she looks happy. So I am relieved. The hardest part was the phone call I received on her third day informing me she had injured herself with a suspected broken arm. I spent the day in a daze waiting to hear what the outcome was. Finally, I received a phone call in the afternoon informing me it was broken and she was to see the surgeon the next day to see whether it needed to be operated on.
By now I was in shock and trying to work out what I needed to do first. I needed to organise flights back to Pennsylvania, contact my husband back in Australia and my travel insurance, wow my head was spinning. Yet, talking to the staff and my daughter everything was calm and she was still having a great time.
So with flights booked I was on my way back to Pennsylvania. I arrived the following lunchtime to be told no surgery was needed. What a relief! After speaking to my daughter she decided I didn’t need to come and see her till the weekend. As she was staying two weeks the camp allowed me to visit her on the Saturday whilst the other parents were picking up their children.
The staff informed me what an amazing time she was still having. I wasn’t sure they were just saying that to give me peace of mind. But after speaking with my daughter I realised she was still having a wonderful experience. It was just a shame she was limited as to what she could do. As it was a broken elbow she was in a cast, which of course meant no vault, bars, beam and most of the floor was out to. Very hard when you are all of 10 years old and this is what you came half way around the world for. Still she made the most of it. She sat in on every session, listened to everything that was said and I actually think she learnt so much from just hearing what was said. She got to do some conditioning classes and leg work so she has become a stronger athlete in a lot of ways.
I have recommended IGC to many people and I am so grateful to all the IGC staff for the care she received whilst there.”
McKenna Rose Turbyne, 12, of Centennial, Colorado, submitted a story explaining how IGC has inspired her as a gymnast:
“Hello I am McKenna Turbyne and I am 12 years old I am very happy to be going to IGC it will be my first time and I already know I’m going to have a ball! I never stop thinking about going to IGC and how much fun it’s going to be. IGC has inspired me to believe in myself and keep working harder even if I have a bad day they show me confidence, believing and achieving. Even without going to the camp yet, watching your guys’ videos makes me go crazy. To me gymnastics is life, everything else is just details, and when I arrive at the IGC camp ill already know I belong there. IGC is a dream come true, not just gymnastics but a normal summer camp too, breathing chalk, smelling sweat, smelling the vacuumed floor and most of all being in a gym. IGC has not just inspired me to be a gymnast but has also made me a better gymnast, and showing me that perfection is not always the way and it’s ok to have mistakes but always getting back up when you fall is the way to go. IGC also inspires me to come back to the camp every year and soon enough they will be my second family! IGC you rock thanks for being so kind and generous I am really looking forward to seeing all of you this summer. “
