Flip Fest is a coed overnight gymnastics camp on 150 wooded acres beside Lake Frances in Crossville, owned and run since 2003 by Olympians John Macready and John Roethlisberger. Campers ages 7-17 attend week-long Sunday-Friday sessions, training in an air-conditioned gym equipped for a wide range of skill levels. Between sessions they swim, canoe and ride jet skis on the lake and work through a four-obstacle ropes course 35 feet up. Campers sleep in air-conditioned cabins, separated by gender and grouped by age, with up to 18 per side.

★★★★★Kassi Knight-Younger15+ years later and we keep coming back! Heartland Gymnastics has supported Flip Fest from year #1. Thanks FF for being amazing ❤️🖤
★★★Keira HansonPLEAS READ VERY HELPFUL PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD This was my second year going to flip fest I was so excited The cabins are great. The people you meet along the way are great. The lake is so fun. The canteen is fun. Practice is fun. Coaches are great special guests so great. But as for some of the other staff specifically week, eight 2025 it was not great. My counselor specifically was very inappropriate. Asked kids inappropriate questions for example, she asked a child immigrant from Canada what her political views were, she called me, pink shirt didn’t have the decency to learn my name and many other things Happened that made us all uncomfortable and we didn’t appreciate them so when we tried to go to a trusted adult for help, they didn’t care at all. Did not try to help whatsoever and just got mad at us for trying to help ourselves. Specifically, one person who goes by the name of buckets was very rude Does Not care about the campers and will not help or support you when you need it. Even if you try to get your parent involved by the use of the phones, she will be annoyed that your parents reached out and take it out on you. These are just some of the things that happened with the staff of week eight 2025 that made me uncomfortable and I didn’t appreciate. The staff members there did not make it an enjoyable week and I hope to see a change in the camp.
★★★★★Gavin LubinskiI have no words for how much this camp helps ones gymnastics be elevated to the next level, and how many connections, and friends you make here, some you will have for life. Truly some of the best experiences if my life took place here. Week 4 is for the boys

★★★★Andy PoeBeautiful camp setting and spacious gym! Much of the equipment was new and the gym stayed cool despite the heat outside. Our cabin was a decent size, complete with it's own bathroom, desk, and mini-fridge. Plus, they have some zoo/farm animals (for petting), a beach, cafeteria, and multipurpose hall. I didn't get to see other things/activities that I heard they had, though (ropes course, waterfall, etc). Would love to go back!
