Update: JumpStart summer programs have been cancelled.
Cedar Rapids students have the opportunity to learn from inspiring speakers, learn about leadership, and play games during Mount Mercy University’s summer JumpStart program, held July 8–July 31.
Social distancing guidelines will be enforced for the safety of children, coaches, and staff. Mount Mercy continues to monitor the latest information from the CDC and our state and county health departments.
