Help Us Launch a Movement-Powered Community Hub in Bastrop!

Hi, I’m Jennifer—and gymnastics has been the heartbeat of my life since childhood. I’ve experienced firsthand how this sport builds confidence, strength, and joy in young people—and how it brings families together. That’s why I’m creating Out of This World Gymnastics, right here in Bastrop, TX, and I’d love for you to join us from the very beginning.

More Than a Gym—We’re Building a Community

Out of This World Gymnastics is more than a place to flip and tumble—it’s a movement-powered community hub. We’re transforming a 13,000 sq. ft. space into a safe, inclusive, and joyful destination for the whole family.

Here’s what we’re launching:

Recreational gymnastics for all ages

A movement-powered homeschool program

Active, engaging after-school care

☕ A cozy café and co-working lounge for parents

Events like food truck nights, farmers markets, and holiday hunts

By partnering with local eateries and small businesses, we’re also investing in Bastrop’s economic growth—not just providing a service, but helping our community thrive.

Why We Need You

A vision this big takes community-sized support. That’s why we’re fundraising in three key phases, with each one designed to get us closer to lift-off:

Phase 1: Construction – $50,000 Goal

We’re ready to transform our building into a safe, state-of-the-art gymnastics facility. This phase covers construction of the gym floor, equipment installation, parent lounge build-out, and classroom spaces.

Phase 2: Launch Support – $75,000 Goal ($25,000 addition)

With construction complete, we’ll shift to opening preparation. These funds help cover critical startup needs—coach training, insurance, utilities, technology, and payroll—to make the gym operational and sustainable.

Phase 3: Community Growth – $100,000 Goal ($25,000 addition)

In this final phase, we’ll bring our vision full circle: hosting free community events, building outdoor activity spaces, and launching programs that support local vendors and stimulate Bastrop’s economy.

✨ Be Part of Something Bigger

Whether you’re a parent, a small business owner, or someone who believes in raising strong, happy kids—we invite you to help us build something truly out of this world. Every dollar you give goes directly toward creating a space where kids move, parents connect, and our whole town grows stronger.

Please consider donating, sharing, or partnering with us. Together, we can flip the script on what a family gym can be—and launch a brighter future for Bastrop.

With gratitude,

Jennifer Strickland
