			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for the <em>best</em> camps in the Portland area? You’ve found them! Our camps are like no other in Portland. Really! Convenient, affordable and wildly fun, camps at The Playground Gym challenge and inspire kids to be better, more creative individuals. Don’t just take our word for it, ask your friends who have attended our camps before and check out some of the recent articles or features about the gym (you can find links from our media page.) Then come experience one for yourself.</p>
<p>Camps at The Playground Gym regularly sell out and we have a return-camper rate that is off the charts because both parents and children can’t get enough. We are currently enrolling for full days, full weeks until the beginning of June. Check our <a href="http://www.theplaygroundgym.com/summer-2012/">CAMPS</a> page for more info!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parkour &amp; Free Running (PK/FR) <a href="http://www.theplaygroundgym.com/classes-2/free-running/">have come to Portland!</a> The area&#8217;s first and only program begins this week at The Playground Gym&#8211;another innovative offering from Portland&#8217;s best kids&#8217; facility.</p>
<p>As a physical discipline, PK/FR relies on vaulting, rolling, running, jumping, climbing, and balancing to efficiently move one&#8217;s self through space. In addition to these skills, there is also an emphasis on self expression, innovation, creativity, and efficiency as opposed to the rote techniques often found in classical gymnastics. It is this expressive quality that makes it a perfect fit at our facility! Now there is no better (or safer) way for your child to safely hone their PK/FR skills than at the Playground Gym.</p>
<p>We are excited about this new program and the initial interest has been heavy, so contact the gym to sign up for a free trial as space is limited!</p>
