We are profoundly heartbroken to inform our IGC family that Mihai Gheorghe passed away this week. His passing has devastated us. It was during this period that Mihai was in Romania with his mother. For the past three decades, Mihai has been an extremely valued part of our IGC family. His larger-than-life personality will be preserved in the memories of all those individuals who had the honor of working with him and receiving instruction from him.
Every generation of campers and staff members will have their own wonderful anecdotes about Mihai, and his famous sayings and songs will be dearly missed in the gymnasiums. The gymnastics knowledge and coaching abilities that Mihai possessed were not only a wonderful presence around camp, but they also served as a source of inspiration for numerous generations of campers, ensuring that they will continue to enjoy the sport of gymnastics.
We will continue to commemorate Mihai’s wonderful legacy this summer. He had a camp magic vibe that filled the gorgeous Pocono Mountains with the best energy, and we will continue to do so. Mihai, you are a legend, and we love you so much!
