The sport of jumping rope is a fun, physical activity that helps improve coordination and balance. Our staff is comprised of some of the best jumpers in the nation. Some who are National & World Champions and some who have been featured on ABC’s

America’s Got Talent & the recent War Room movie. The Jumpin AllStars, a competitive/performance jump rope team would like to invite Boys and Girls ages 6 and older to join them October 29th to learn jump rope techniques for single rope, double dutch and more. We’ll assess each jumper’s skills to ensure everyone will be

challenged throughout the day. This workshop is all about fun and fitness. It’s a great event for those brand new to jump rope or those who are experienced jumpers. No

experience needed to participate. A jump rope and snack store will be available throughout camp. To learn more or to register online please visit our website at
