October Happenings At Bounce

October 12, 2016
For the month of October, several great things are happening at Bounce. The gym will transform into a palate of colors celebrating the autumn season, and as the month goes on transform into a gigantic Halloween extravaganza.  The Preschool classes will continue to build their skills while whirling and twirling through the fall leaves.  3-4 year olds will practice bar pullovers, forward rolls, floor cartwheels amongst a colorful assortment of fall leaves and other seasonal treasures. 
Last week was Fire Safety, and Bounce educated children in a fun and positive environment the importance of fire safety.  Little gymnasts incorporated fire safety into warm up routines and obstacles while learning important skills such as stop, drop and roll and stay low and go.  Children leaped over fire spots, and had the opportunity to be the fireman while donning fire hats.  
Last but not least, the annual Halloween Spooktacular will be held on Sunday, October 23, from 1:30-3:30  pm, $12 members, $15 nonmembers, parents free.  The haunted gym will have games, prizes, raffles, cider and donuts, hairspray paint and face paint, a tattoo parlor and Halloween crafts.  Bats will be swinging from the bars, the beams will be filled with creepy spiders and cats, the rings are transformed to witches hats.  Children will crawl through a spooky tunnel and later trick or treat. 
When you pass through the doors of Bounce, high energy is the word that comes to mind.  It is a vibrant facility packed with colorful equipment, filled with gymnastics practicing their skills, and a hands on educational experience.  They offer a variety of programs and classes all year round to children and teens of all ages. Even through the sessions have started, registration is always on-going.  Best of all, Bounce offers a free trial class to try it before committing to the program. 
Outside of classes, many families first experience Bounce through their Preschool Playtime programs which is geared for children ages 3-4. Small children and their caregiver utilize the various areas of the gym on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings.  Others participate in the Open Bounce Program which is open to all ages, and especially popular for tweens and teens on Friday evenings. Friday afternoons is Open Gym from 1:00-2:30 and 3:00-4:30.
