2017 Winter Enrichment

If you plan to attend the trampoline 

Registration is now open to attend the South Central District Winter Enrichment for ages 13+! The deadline to let me know you would like to attend and turn in the registration fee is Thursday, January 5th. We have limited transportation for this event so the first 6 youth who let me know they would like to attend and pay will be able to ride in our state vehicle. If you don’t get a seat in our vehicle you may still come, but you will have to get a parent to bring you and pick you up. If you plan to attend the trampoline park please go to this link and fill out the Defy Gravity Waiver Form .
