Our Story
At Okanagan Gymnastics Centre (OGC), we take pride in being the premier gymnastics centre in the Okanagan region. With over 40 years of experience, we have established ourselves as a leader in providing high-quality gymnastics programs for gymnasts of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. As a proud member club of Gymnastics BC, we are committed to offering opportunities for everyone to participate in the sport and reach their full potential.
Our centre is built on a strong culture and philosophy that emphasizes not just technical skill development, but also the importance of hard work, perseverance, and sportsmanship. We believe that gymnastics is not just a sport, but a way of life that teaches valuable life skills such as discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. Our experienced coaches and staff are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment that allows our athletes to thrive and reach their full potential.

Our Community
At OGC, we believe that gymnastics is not just a sport, but a way to bring people together and build strong, supportive communities. We are proud to acknowledge our presence on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded tmxulax (land) of the syilx / Okanagan people who have resided here since time immemorial. We recognize, honour, and respect the syilx / Okanagan lands upon which we live, work, and play.
We are grateful for the support and contributions of our community, including our sponsors, volunteers, and partners. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our athletes and help them achieve their full potential.
Our Partners
We would like to extend our gratitude to our sponsors, including Three Sisters Clinical Counselling, who provide mental health support for children, parents, and families. Their practitioners offer sliding scale and direct billing options to make mental health support accessible to the people in our community.
