We will celebrate our high school seniors, coaches/junior coaches, introduce/vote board members in for the next year, and have food and fun! Mark your calendars to save the date!
COMPETITION TEAM: One more judges practice coming up- May 7
As we get ready to compete in NC and in NY, let's keep in touch with our WhatsApp Competition Group. Join here to be connected. Both jumpers and parents of the competition team are welcome to join. Kangaroo Kids WhatsApp
Here is an opportunity if you wish:
SUMMER CAMP OPTION in Rexburg, Idaho
August 5-8
There is a jump rope camp with some great jump rope instructors in Idaho this summer for one week. It would be a fun opportunity to learn from them, and take a trip out west!
They asked me to share their camp info. I added an attachment. Perhaps one parent could travel with multiple jumpers as an option if you all would like to look into it.
If I hear of any other summer camps (besides ours which is right in town!) I will let you know.
We have also shared our camp info with AMJRF so they will share it. If you have anyone you know that would like our camp, please send them the information. If anyone has a PTA, a school, a community newsletter, let me know, I can send you the flier or info on our camp.
