Bowen Island Gymnastics Club is a registered non-profit society, run by a volunteer parent Board of Directors. With a staff of part-time Coaches as well, Program Director and an Administrator, the Club works as an independent partner with the Bowen Island Municipality, Bowen Island Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Bowen Island Community School (BICS). The Club uses the BICS gym for all of its programs.

Currently serving over 120 gymnastics in the Bowen Island community (approximately 14% of Bowen youth!), the Club seeks to continue to expand our gymnastics programming. It is currently, and has been for a number of years, the largest recreational program offered on Bowen.

Our philosophy is for each child to meet their own challenges in a secure and friendly atmosphere, while encouraging each gymnast through skill development, team camaraderie and spirit, cross-age interaction, and mentoring.

Our History
Bowen Island Gymnastics Club formed in March 2004 after running as part of Bowen Island's Park and Recreation Commission for 10 year prior. During that time, the popularity of the program increased such that it became difficult for the Commission to administer. Volunteer parents of Competitive gymnasts took over running most aspects of the programs in 2001. The decision was made at a general meeting in the fall of 2003 to proceed with forming the Club, and discussion occurred between the newly formed Board of Directors, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the West Vancouver School District and the Municipality regarding the continued use of the BICS gym for our gymnastics programs

Mission Statement
Bowen Island Gymnastics Club exists to offer gymnastics programs to all ages and abilities in a safe, challenging and fun environment. Our programs encourage the progression of participants' individual skills while at the same time providing opportunity to engage in team building and cooperative exercises. We believe in fostering mentorship between gymnasts of all levels and ages and encouraging the development of skills, which will benefit the participants both inside and outside the gymnasium.
