kids(e)motion hiking day with the JaR family

Again this year, the now traditional JumpandReach for friends took place. Together with their idols Stefan Kraft, Johannes Lamparter, Chiara Kreuzer, Dominik Terzer, Christian Deuschl, Marco Pichlmayer and Benjamin Pranter the children of the JumpandReach youth development kids(e)motion – kids from clubs in Salzburg and Tyrol – were able to spend an exciting and sporty day in the mountains. During a joint hike to the “Kaltwassersee” and afterwards to the “Hochegg Alm”, the kids had enough time to get to know their role models personally, including photos, selfies and autographs.

In addition to the hike, the common “fun” was on the program and the “young wild ones” challenged the JaR athletes at “Spike Ball”, volleyball or frisbee. After a delicious snack of Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn, the group headed back down into the valley. So the children could spend an unforgettable and eventful day hiking together with their role models and enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding mountain scenery.

Stefan Kraft: “We have been coming together here at JumpandReach for friends for many years now. It’s a fixed point that I always enjoy coming to. The hike today with the kids was really great. They asked a lot of interesting questions and made us sweat quite nicely during volleyball, spikeball & co. ;-).”

Johannes Lamparter: “The days at this year’s JumpandReach for friends were great. The kids were highly motivated and really pestered me with questions, and when I can pass on tips to them with my answers, it’s a really great thing for me. Getting kids into sport is simply good for them and we all really enjoyed it together.”

Chiara Hölzl: “This family reunion was once again more than successful. Especially the hike with the kids was really nice and the kids were super interested and asked quite eagerly. Many smiling children’s faces in dream weather, that was more than fun not only for the kids, but also for me and my dog “Carla” ;-)”
