The "Jungle Gym" is the brainchild of Chet and Carmen Snouffer, who, after 20 years in the mainstream gymnastics industry decided to start from the ground up in designing a fun, non-competitive gymnastics program that also includes Parkour, rock climbing, rappelling, slacklining (walking on stretched nylon webbing for balance), Indo Boarding® (a balance board used by surfers, skaters, exercise junkies and physical therapists for rehabilitation), adventure camps, kayaking, SUP and other alternative sports!
They are renowned for positive, upbeat, enthusiastic coaching. Their teams have won numerous sportsmanship awards and Chet was honored with the Ohio High School Athletic Association's Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity Award in 1999. OHSAA honored him further by naming the annual sportsmanship award to deserving seniors after him, which continues to this day.
Whether you are one of their countless former students with children of your own or you are new to the area, you'll find yourself part of an outstanding Delaware tradition when you enroll your child in The Jungle Gym!
We look forward to seeing you in the gym!
Mission Statement
At the Jungle Gym, we use adventure-based physical activities to develop physical skills, encourage cooperative effort, and cultivate a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence in our students. As Christians, we believe there are more important lessons than just "how to do a cartwheel" and we incorporate that philosophy in all we do.
