Cheer Destiny runs a seven-week summer camp at its Portage Park gym in Chicago, 9am-3pm daily, with weekly enrollment. Families choose among Mini Cheer Camp (ages 5-15), Junior Cheer Camp (ages 8-13) and Summer Tumbling Camp (ages 5-15). Cheer camp weeks build confidence, coordination and teamwork through games, drills and cheer fundamentals, and each week closes with a Friday performance of a routine the athletes created; tumbling weeks focus on body control, strength, flexibility and safe skill progressions, and suit cheerleaders, gymnasts and dancers alike. Groups run beginner through advanced and no experience is needed. The gym also runs a spring break tumbling camp during CPS vacation.

★★★★★Loreen OmarMy daughter has been part of the Cheer Destiny program for 3 years now, and we couldn’t be happier. She started with quad season cheer, and this is our second year doing half season, along with private tumbling lessons. The coaches are extremely skilled, patient, and so kind with the kids. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the environment is positive and supportive. Cheer Destiny has helped my daughter grow so much in confidence and ability. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing cheer program!
★★★★★Jessica McReynoldsGreat Facility and Staff! I have been attending this gym as part of my cheer team for the past 3 years, and have always been met with good energy and professionalism. Always helpful with keeping our practices uninterrupted, and have quality equipment to use. They also have a good price for open gym twice a week.
★★★★★Katie FoxMy 4 y.o. daughter is taking preschool gymnastics here. She has always been pretty risk averse (afraid to go down big slides and climb certain playground equipment). Since starting this class, she is becoming more confident with her body and more willing to take risk and learn and explore the world around her. The preschool room is designed in a smart way with ramp mats to help with tumbling and hand and foot prints on the floor to guide the children. There are big tv screens in the waiting area for parents to watch the class. It’s not a fancy spot but the most important thing is that she loves it! Definitely recommend.
★★★★★Sarah SprakerMy daughter has improved her tumbling skills so much with the group classes. All the staff and coaches are super friendly, and they really motivate her to do her best. (Special shout-out to Coach Sam who had a lot of patience with her, and Coach John who helped her break through to her back handspring!) Highly recommend Cheer Destiny!
★★★★★Kristin TozziniWe absolutely love Cheer Destiny. We are on our second season of competitive Allstar cheer, beginning at age five. My little one came into tryouts not even knowing how to do a forward roll and am in awe of the progress she has made with the help of so many coaches at Cheer Destiny. The cheer coaches are patient yet firm with the girls, teach them to believe in themselves and trust their teammates, and my little one has learned so much about accountability, respect, persistence, and what it means to be a part of a team and a good teammate, and has grown as a leader in her second year. Her confidence has absolutely blossomed as a result of cheer, her kindergarten teachers even specifically noted it last year during parent/teacher conferences. The children and parents are so kind and wonderful - the community is amazing and it is definitely safe to say we both have made life-long friendships. We also CANNOT rave enough about Coach Carter - he is kind, patient, and gentle with the kids he coaches and cannot recommend him enough for private tumbling lessons! The coaches are accessible and provide great and thoughtful feedback proactively and if you request it. We have done tumbling classes, tumbling clinics, cheer camps, tumbling intensives, private tumbling lessons, and two years of Tiny division Allstar cheer - happy to answer any questions!
