What to Expect at Summer Camp at Your Journey in Howard County, MD
A Detailed Look at a Typical Day and Weekly Themes
Summer is a time for growth, adventure, and friendships and at Your Journey, we make sure kids experience all three while staying active, confident, and inspired! Nestled in Glenelg, Maryland, our summer camps are part of the broader suite of summer experiences offered through Your Journey School that blend physical activity with themed learning, exploration, and fun.
A Typical Day at Camp
Every day at Your Journey’s summer camp is built around energy, exploration, and play that develops strength, coordination, and confidence.
Here’s how a day at camp usually unfolds:
9:00 AM – Arrival & Warm-Up: Campers kick off with fun warm-up activities to get bodies moving — think stretches, simple games, and partner challenges that build flexibility and confidence.
Skill Sessions: Next, campers rotate through gymnastics skill stations — balance beams, obstacle courses, tumbling mats, and more. These activities are tailored to each age and skill level so every child feels challenged yet supported.
Snack & Free Play: Mid-morning snack time gives kids a chance to refuel and socialize with friends.
Group Games & Fitness Challenges: From relay races to partner circuits, campers stay active and engaged with games that build teamwork and gross-motor skills.
Cool-Down & Creative Movement: The day winds down with expressive dance, yoga stretches, or themed movement activities that tie into weekly topics.
3:30 PM – Dismissal: Families pick up campers with tired bodies and big smiles, ready to return the next day for new adventures.
Extended before & after care is often available, ensuring families with busy schedules have the convenience and flexibility they need.
Weekly Themes That Spark Curiosity
One of the most exciting parts of summer camp is our rotating weekly themes — each designed to make every week feel like a new adventure. These themes inspire coordinated activities, special lessons, and even off-site or on-site field experiences.
While Your Journey emphasizes movement each day, we integrate camp-wide themes from the larger Your Journey School program to deepen curiosity and learning:
Sample Weekly Themes:
Superhero Training Academy: Campers discover their own strengths and superpowers with themed movement challenges and creative capes, culminating in fun obstacle courses that test “super skills.”
Medieval Times: Knights, dragons, and creative castle building inspire balance work and group problem-solving.
Magic & Illusion: From learning cool illusions to movement games that trick the eye, this theme blends imagination with physical play.
Music & Movement: Dance, rhythm games, and expressive activities take center stage.
Jurassic Adventures: Campers explore prehistoric worlds through imaginative play and themed group challenges.
Each week provides fresh activities and new ways for campers to explore the world around them — while building confidence and lifelong memories.
More Than Just Gymnastics: A Summer of Growth
While physical development is at the heart of Your Journey Gym’s summer camp, our campers also benefit from:
Structured, supportive environments where kids feel safe to try new things and make friends.
Skill building beyond the gym, including teamwork, problem-solving, and self-confidence that carries into everyday life.
Connections to broader camp experiences through integrated weekly themes that stretch creativity and curiosity.
Whether your child is flipping, dancing, exploring themed adventures, or mastering a new skill, summer at Your Journey Gym is designed to combine movement, joy, and growth — every step of the way.
