March 24th Acrobatic Gymnastics Training Camp

Here are some photos of Saturday, March 24th, Day 2 of the Gymnastics Ontario Acrobatic Gymnastics Training Camp.  We started the day off with a social adventure out to Playdium in Mississauga.  Everyone had a blast and then headed back to the Oakville Gymnastics Club for 5 hours of hard training.
