Jumping Pillow Gets Kids Moving at
YMCA Camp Crosley
Commercial Recreation Specialists (CRS)
recently added a Jumping Pillow to Camp
Crosley, a YMCA camp in North Webster,
Indiana, according to Ron Romens, president
of Commercial Recreation Specialists. "This
Jumping Pillow is a low-maintenance, permanent
installation that takes approximately fifteen
minutes to inflate and creates a safe play
area for a variety of age groups and abilities
without the hazards normally associated
with trampolines, jumping castles and some
other traditional playground equipment,"
said Romens.
"YMCA Camp Crosley has used
the Jumping Pillow extensively with children
twelve and under. The 47'x33' size
and bright colors of the Jumping Pillow
draw attention, gets them excited about
the activity and keeps them engaged. It
also levels the playing field so kids are
able to confidently participate in games
and activities, even if they are not as
coordinated or athletic as their peers,"
said YMCA Camp Crosley director Richard
Armstrong. He continued, "YMCA Camp Crosley
received grant funding for the Jumping
Pillow because it adds a valuable fitness
opportunity for kids who might not engage
in sports or other recreational activities.
It has also been part of our programming
for Activate America and In Shape Indiana." CRS
is the exclusive camp distributor for the
Jumping Pillow, a relatively new product
in the United States, although they have
been very popular in Australia and Europe
for some time, according to Romens.
