In a world where screens compete for attention and physical play is often sidelined, the kids of Hendricks County deserve a summer experience that reconnects them with movement, confidence, and community. That’s where our Parkour Summer Camp at The Flow Space Movement Center steps in, not just as an activity, but as a powerful opportunity for growth. Fitness That Feels Like Play Let’s face it, traditional workouts can feel like a chore, especially for kids. But what if fitness looked more like an adventure? Parkour transforms exercise into exploration. Kids leap over obstacles, vault onto platforms, balance across beams all while laughing, cheering each other on, and moving with purpose. They don’t even realize they’re building strength, endurance, and coordination. To them, it’s just fun . That’s the beauty of parkour: it doesn’t ask kids to be athletic. It shows them they already are. Teaching Confidence Through Risk Management Life is full of obstacles both literal and figurative. Parkour gives kids a framework for facing those challenges safely and confidently. In our summer camp, children learn to assess risks, set realistic goals, and push themselves. They discover what their bodies can do, and more importantly, what their minds are capable of. They fall sometimes, but they learn how to fall safely and get back up with more knowledge than they had before. This builds a kind of confidence that carries into school, friendships, and everything beyond: “I can do hard things.” “I can try again.” “I know how to think things through.” Reclaiming Joy in Movement We believe movement should never feel like punishment. It should feel like joy and freedom. That’s exactly what we foster in our parkour summer camp. Every day is structured with fun obstacle challenges, skill-building games, teamwork activities, and self-discovery. Our experienced coaches don’t just teach techniques they inspire, mentor, and celebrate progress. In a time when childhood fitness is declining and confidence struggles are on the rise, we’re offering something different: a space where kids rediscover movement as something they love—not something they have to do. For Every Kid in Hendricks County Whether your child is naturally athletic or a little hesitant to try new things, our camp is built to support them. We meet every camper where they’re at and guide them to where they want to go—step by step, jump by jump. So if you’re looking for a summer experience that’s full of movement, laughter, and personal breakthroughs, parkour might just be exactly what your child needs. Join us at The Flow Space Movement Center and help your child build the strength, confidence, and joy that will last far beyond summer. 👉 Register now—spots are limited!

Why did we name our parkour gym 'The Flow Space'? At first glance, it’s not obvious—but the concept of flow is at the heart of everything we do here. The Power of the Flow State: Unleashing Peak Performance "The Flow State" often called "being in the zone" is a mental state of complete focus on the task at hand. Where the body and mind function in unison, effortlessly performing the activity without conscious control. A state of full immersion without the constant sound of their brain. This phenomenon has been studied by psychologists to understand how it can unlock human potential, enhancing both creativity and productivity. Medical News Today defines key attributes that make entering The Flow State easier: "Tasks that tend to encourage a state of flow often share similar characteristics. These tasks may be: challenging, but not so much that they are impossible rewarding, meaning that a person gets a sense of pleasure or purpose from doing it in-depth, involving an investment of some time or energy to make progress Some signs that a person is in a state of flow include: Focus: It is not easy to distract people in flow from their task. They may not be thinking about anything else. If a person or event interrupts someone in flow, they may feel annoyed. Lack of self-consciousness: Flow is associated with a decrease in “self-referential thinking,” which means that a person in this state is unlikely to be thinking about themselves, their performance, or how others might see them. Enjoyment: People may enjoy the task, encouraging them to immerse themselves in it. Persistence: Some evidence suggests that being in flow can offset the frustration of a difficult task, allowing people to keep going."

Sport is often identified as a key place for people to find flow, however, we believe Parkour is unique in ways that allow total focus in the moment. Parkour is an individual sport. You don't have to pull yourself out of the zone of focus to see the other people participating. It is just you and the challenge. Parkour is a challenging sport that demands full attention from mind and body while simultaneously promoting problem solving skills. When an athlete completes a challenge or sticks a jump, the feeling of self worth becomes tangible. Often times in pursuit of a challenge the athlete will attempt it dozens of times without noticing how much effort they are putting in because it merely feels like playing. We named our gym "The Flow Space" as a acknowledgment that we exist to provide a space for people to enter the Flow through the movement disciplines we offer. Everybody finds their flow in a different way. Some like the mental and physical challenge of performing large powerful movements showing power in control. While others prefer to show the artistic side of parkour, focussing on smooth movements and connections like an interactive dance with obstacles. This second style of Parkour is often described as "flow." Embracing Flow: The Essence of Parkour Movement Our name also makes an intentional nod to Flow as a style of Parkour. We encourage our students to design their movement in a way that allows them to "follow the flow" and keep momentum and rotation flowing as a stream gently winds through its environment. Interacting with spaces in a way that introduces new life to the mundane. Every November our Head Coach, Coach Mike, runs a challenge specifically designed to train this style of Parkour. He calls it "Flowvember" the goal of this challenge is to create a flow style parkour line everyday for the month of November. This year we have made it into a contest. For Flowvember, we challenge you to post a new flow-style parkour line every day in November. With each post, you earn a dollar toward the Flowvember shirt—and if you complete all 30 days, the shirt is yours for free!
