About this block
What obstacle challenges looks like
Obstacle challenges split camp into teams and send them head to head across a course that runs the length of the gym. Foam blocks, mats, tunnels, beams and vault stations become a relay, and the room gets loud. It is the block campers ask about first thing in the morning.
Why campers love it
- Two teams racing side by side, everyone runs
- Courses rebuilt daily so nobody memorizes the route
- Effort and teamwork scored, not just speed
- Mixed ability teams so every camper contributes

We've tried several other gymnastics, but we happily drive 30 minutes to Interstellar and it's absolutely worth it! The coaches give excellent attention to each child and really focus on helping them master skills the right way. The coach-to-student ratio is great, so kids get plenty of individual guidance and encouragement. We are very thankful to Dan, Nate and many other coaches for our 3 years of excellent trainings (we loved both gym and ninja classes)!
My children attended gymnastics classes at Interstellar Gymnastics with great pleasure. Every time they came out of training with a smile, sharing what new things they had learned, and eagerly looking forward to the next session. They perfectly combine fun and serious physical training. The kids noticeably strengthened their bodies, improved coordination, endurance, and flexibility. Huge thanks to the coaches for their attention to the children and the warm atmosphere!
My kids just love Interstellar. Nate, the head coach and the owner, puts his soul in what he's doing and kids feel that. My older one (9yo) is in the team and he's always motivated and just loves the classes. I like the balance between the push to the better competition results and having fun. My younger one (4yo) just loves the fun hanging out there and jumping around.
