The Carpenter Center to offer youth tumbling classes in Kimball - registration set for this weekend

Nearly 100 interested parties prompted the beginning of a new youth tumbling class in Kimball, according to Bob Nemnich Executive Director of the Terry and Hazeldeane Carpenter Intergenerational Center in Terrytown.

The Center offers similar classes in Terrytown and Nemnich said that within the first year those classes doubled in attendance.

“We are trying to get kids in Kimball, Bushnell, Potter, Dix and even Sidney,” Nemnich said. “With classes offered in Kimball they won’t have to drive so far to participate.”

Registration will be June 4 from 10 a.m. to noon and classes will be offered to youth aged three years and up. Classes for younger children will be offered in half-hour increments, while older tumbling students will attend one hour sessions, according to Nemnich.

Classes will be offered Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week and though times will vary, they will be in between 3:30 and 7 p.m.
