Jungle Gym is equipped with state of the art gymnastics equipment that includes: balance beams, bars, rings, parachutes, donut, incline mat, mailbox, and barrel. Jungle Gym provides six, 8-week gym sessions, per year. The apparatus on the bus is extensive and is always changing to keep the monkey’s fun-o-meter at maximum capacity. Lesson’s progress through the year as each child develops gross motor skills, and tumbling, balancing, climbing, and vaulting skills.

A full Jungle Gym session includes a structured gymnastics skill lesson followed by practice on various gymnastics apparatus. We can accommodate children ages 2-6, in groups of 8 to 10 at a time. Sessions are 30 minutes, which begins after the children are escorted on the bus ready to begin our fun. After our 30 minute session ends, we get the children back in their shoes and safely back in their school.

The number one goal on the Jungle Gym is to provide a safe, secure, structured fitness lesson that allows every child a great feeling of accomplishment and a smile. Benefits of participation include increased self-esteem, personal awareness, working as a team and learning the importance of exercise.
