Here at Mountain Kids, we believe every child deserves a chance in the spotlight. That’s why we’ve created our monthly All-Star series to showcase outstanding athletes when we notice them shine.
From little movers to super stars to ninja warriors, our All-Stars of the month lead the way with confidence, courage, and most importantly, good sportsmanship.
