Gymnastics - Physical exercises
designed to develop and display strength, balance, and agility.
Kids of all ages sign up every day for this activity, where skills are
developed and moves are taught. No prior experience is needed, and the
counselors help kids of all ages with their gymnastic skills. |
|
First the counselors helped all
the kids stretch together. |
Stretching is extremely
important. If you don't stretch enough, or properly, you could easily hurt
yourself. |
|
First the instructors had the
campers perform a series of jumps on the trampoline. |
There is the
tuck jump. |
|
|
The straddle
jump. |
And the pike
jump. |
|
|
Extreme
concentration and determination was displayed. |
But mostly, the campers had a lot
of fun learning new jumps and bouncing around. |
|
|
The campers quickly practiced
their abilities with somersaults and rolls. |
But then the counselors moved
them on to front flips. However, Jase demonstrated first so the campers knew
what to do. |
|
|
Jase spotted all the campers
flipped, and watched as they all improved. |

Gymnastics is a great activity
for the campers to sign up for. They learn a lot of new skills and always
have fun! |
