Bouncing Bulldogs Rope Skipping Camp
Bouncing Bulldogs
Summer Camp is a great introduction to a life-long, healthy, fun sport.
A wonderful summer day camp for boys and girls ages
5-16, emphasizing building self-confidence in children. Especially fun is the
jump roping show that parents are invited to attend on the last day of each
camp, including amazing feats by some of the Bulldogs' best (ALL of the jumpers,
all ages, are amazing)! It is incredible how quickly even the littlest jumpers
learn tricky jump-roping moves under the close direction of the very experienced
and friendly camp counselors.
Coach and Camp
Director Ray Frederick is nationally and internationally renowned, and under his
direction the Bouncing Bulldogs travel and compete around the world. The
Bouncing Bulldogs performed in China during the Summer 2008 Olympics, and they
have been all over the country (including performing at the White House!), and
all around the world including places such as Sri Lanka and Tibet among many
others.
The Bouncing Bulldogs jump roping team are 7-Time
National Champions!
Attend a Bouncing
Bulldogs demonstration and prepare to be amazed. Kids perform astonishing,
seemingly gravity-defying jump roping feats as a team, and they gain tremendous
self-esteem and confidence.

Blue Skies of Mapleview Horsemanship
Summer Day Camp
Blue Skies of Mapleview offers
week-long Summer Day Camps where campers learn about horsemanship, go on trail
rides, play games, work on horse-theme crafts projects, swim in the pool, and
have a wonderful time! Here is a description of a day at Blue Skies of
Mapleview Summer Day Camp from Deborah Pearson-Moyers (Owner/Instructor):
We gather in the morning to
learn about the theme of the day such as balance, horse body language,
equine massage and stretching, or trail riding rules of the road. Then, in
teams, we catch, groom, tack up our horses and focus on riding skills. In
addition, each team masters an important aspect of on-the-ground
horsemanship. After a cool break on the porch for lunch and a little
downtime, we begin an artistic activity designed to help us really look at
and understand horses. We end the day with games and a refreshing dip in the
pool. Our emphasis is on fun and safety for the riders and the horses, skill
development, building self-esteem, and nurturing our respect and love for
these beautiful animals.
