My daughter has had a terrific time at each one of these she has attended. I couldn't IMAGINE a whole class or camp on jumproping, but I have been so impressed, and she is loving it! She comes home with rosy cheeks and sore legs, feeling terrific :)
Thank you!

My daughter has attended a few camps and classes now at Jumpi' J's. She is so thrilled and loves bringing new friends with her. The kids come back and teach other kids at school the skills and games they have played. It is such a positive atmosphere that I know we will continue to return.

My 7-year-old son attended a half-day camp and LOVED it. He had never jumped rope before, but he came home telling us over and over that he loved it and he hasn't been far from his jump rope since then. I had wondered how they could structure a 4-hour class so that complete beginners and advanced jumpers would enjoy it, and I was completely impressed by the organization and content. It was so well-planned and fun for everyone. My son is is begging me to sign him up for more classes.

My daughters love the jump rope instruction, games and music in the Jumpin' J's class. They came home from jump rope camp so happy! My younger child can't wait until he is old enough to attend.

I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the Jumpin’ J’s and the camps and workshops they present! When my girls tried it for the first time, they were hooked! All of the instructors took a personal interest in making sure each child experienced Success. After seeing many instructors of the different activities my girls have tried, just go through the motions as they “taught” or “coached” a particular activity, I was blown away by the Jumpin’ J’s. Every one of them talked to the kids as individuals. They made sure every one of them could actually DO each new skill. The grins on all of the kids faces really showed how much fun they were having. My girls couldn’t wait to show off their new tricks! It's so much fun!

We found the Jumpin' J's through a small mention of it in the Bothell Reporter two summers ago. I usually like to have the recommendation of a trusted friend or teacher for summer programs, but after talking to Joyce Bica on the phone, my daughter joined a session a day late. I stayed for a bit anticipating the usual chaos of these large sports programs. Much to my surprise, they welcomed my daughter by name and worked her seamlessly into the group. By the end of the week, she was jumping double dutch in the camp show! But even more exciting--she couldn't wait to go every day and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in the J's care. She has chosen to participate in the after school sessions at Westhill ever since and several friends have followed suit. As a first grader, we believe two extracurriculars are plenty, and she has chosen jump rope over school soccer, cross country, etcetera. The after school sessions in particular are easy on the budget. Finally, one last experience to share: last summer when I forgot to sign my daughter up in a timely fashion, Jesse Bica called me to see if he should reserve a spot before camp filled up. That's the type of interaction we've come to expect but still greatly appreciate from the Jumpin' J's. Looking forward to checking out party options in the future.

The Jumpin' J's came to my daughter's 9th birthday party and did an amazing job, combining demonstration and teaching. All the kids had a great time - a number of them want to do the Jumpin' J's camps, parents want to have the Jumpin' J's for after school programming, and a number of the parents want to join a jump rope group. Truly inspirational. On another matter - my daughter has attended various programs, from soccer to art and, of course, jump roping. I've NEVER seen a better organized program - everything runs smoothly. And when my daughter missed a session, we received a call inquiring if she was o.k. This is a terrific program and I highly recommend it.
