Competitive Gymnastics Camp Apparel

Competitive gymnastics camp apparel covers the week-long or two-week summer and holiday camp the gym runs each year. The core set is a branded camp tee, a tank, a hoodie, and a water bottle. Each camper orders her own size through the team store and the apparel ships home before the camp. Below is the camp apparel guide with the pieces that work and the workflow for the gym.

The Core Gymnastics Camp Apparel Set

• Camp tee. The Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee or womens favorite tee with the camp name and year. VIP base from $19.88.
• Camp tank. The Next Level ladies racerback tank for the warm-weather summer camp. VIP base from $19.88.
• Camp hoodie. The Bear Grips Comfort Soft Hoodie for the post-session walk to the car or the cooler camp days. VIP base from $36.88.
• Camp water bottle. Sourced from a promotional supplier alongside the apparel set.

Expanding the Camp Set for a Two-Week Program

For a two-week camp or a residential camp with travel, add three more pieces:

• Camp joggers or biker shorts. Independent Trading Co. midweight performance joggers for the cool-down, the womens signature biker shorts for active training.
• Camp long sleeve. The Sport-Tek mens or ladies moisture wicking long sleeve for the cold gym days or the early morning open-gym block.
• Camp hat. The Yupoong adjustable cotton lifestyle hat. Worn during outdoor breaks or the walk between gym and lunch.

Design Direction for Camp Apparel

Camp apparel works best with a design distinct from the regular team apparel. The camp name (Summer Strength Camp, Pre-Team Boot Camp, Holiday Power Week), the year, and a fun illustrative icon (a gymnast silhouette, a star, a flame) read clearly on the front. The gym logo goes on the sleeve or the back. The combination makes the camp tee a separate keepsake from the standard team tee.

The Camp Apparel Workflow

The gym opens the camp storefront on Bear Grips Pro Shops four to six weeks before the camp start date. Parents register for the camp and receive the apparel storefront link in the confirmation email. Each parent orders the camp apparel in the size her camper wears. The apparel ships to the home address and arrives in time for day one of camp.

Margin the Gym Earns on Camp Apparel

Campers	Pieces per Camper (1.8)	Avg Margin per Piece	Camp Apparel Margin
30	54	$10	$540
60	108	$11	$1,188
100	180	$11	$1,980
150	270	$12	$3,240

A 100-camper week earns about $2,000 of apparel margin that the gym can apply directly to camp programming costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What apparel does a competitive gymnastics camp need?

A camp tee, a camp tank, a camp hoodie, and a water bottle as the core set. Add camp joggers or biker shorts, a long sleeve, and a hat for two-week or residential camps. The branded camp set turns the week into a memorable keepsake experience.

When should the camp apparel store open?

Four to six weeks before the camp start date. The Pro Shops platform ships orders in about a week. Opening four weeks ahead leaves time for parents to order, any size swaps, and the apparel to arrive at the home before day one of camp.

Do campers need to wear a leotard at competitive gymnastics camp?

Most competitive camps follow the same dress code as regular team practice: a leotard for active training, plus a tank or tee for warm-up and cool-down, plus biker shorts or joggers. The branded camp tee and tank pair on top of the standard practice attire.

Can the gym customize the camp design each year?

Yes. Most gyms run a unique design per year with the camp name, year, and theme. The Pro Shops storefront supports any number of designs across seasons. Each design generates its own product variants and price.
