JUMPSTART SUPER SKILLS CAMP
 DATE  AGE/GENDER  TIME  LOCATION  COACH
 December 28-31  Gr. 1-3 M/F  3:00-5:00 (Dec 31, 1-3pm)  Andre Piolat  Chris Weimer
About The Camp: This program creates and maintains a fun and supportive learning environment. It is no secret that children thrive and grow under these conditions. Constant challenge and encouragement will be stressed. We believe that challenging a child is one of the main ingredients in skill acquisition, physical development and confidence. Children often shy away from new activities or challenges due to the stigma of making mistakes and the fear of failure. At Jumpstart mistakes are encouraged as they are vital to the learning process. Without question, they are stepping stones to success.

Employed by the North Vancouver School District for the past 2 years, Chris specializes in sports instruction and athletic development of children ages 3-12. He has a diploma in Human Kinetics and Sports Instruction from Capilano College and a diploma in Special Education from Stenberg College.
