***Special Guests are subject to change
Each week, we will have as many as four Olympians with whom the campers will interact. In past years Flip Fest has hosted an amazing group of Olympians and guest coaches, including Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson, Carly Patterson, Alicia Sacramone, Courtney Kupets, Blaine Wilson, Justin Spring, Raj Bhavsar, Brett McClure and Courtney McCool.
Special Guests change week to week. Check back often as we book more special guests. Due to their busy schedules, some Olympians and Clinicians do not book their session(s) at Flip Fest until April or May.
