Athletes and coaches from all 6 Regions participated in the 2014 Open Camp, a yearly camp open to all Junior Olympic and Elite level rhythmic gymnasts. The Open Camp was established to give as many rhythmic athletes the opportunity to experience the Rhythmic National Center at the Karolyi Ranch and work with national and international staff.
Now in its fourth year, the camp continues to grow in size and welcomes new clubs and coaches each year, many for their first nationally-run camp. As with all athlete and coach development camps held at the Ranch, the emphasis was on ballet and body and apparatus technique. The camp was under the direction of World and National Team coach Lucy Kerznerman, as well as World Champion and National Team coach Olena Vitrychenko, World Team Group coach Margarita Mamazina, and Tamara Manukovskaya (ballet instruction). Indoor and outdoor activities were led by Anna Loescher and the following clubs participated: California Springs, Integrity, La Luna, Matchpoint NYC, Nova, Philadelphia Rhythmic Academy, Rhythmic Olympia, Seattle Rhythmic Gymnastics, Start, Twin Cities, Vitrychenko Academy, JAGA.
