Spontaneous skipping
You intended to walk to the shops. At some point, both feet left the ground in an unmistakably jaunty manner.
A steadier path begins here
There is no shame in walking normally.
You went out for a sensible stroll. You saw a meadow. One thing led to another. At Gambollers Anonymous, we understand how quickly an ordinary walk can become something altogether more exuberant.
Discretion assured. No names requested. No skipping required.

Early indicators
Know the warning signs.
Gamboling rarely announces itself. It begins with a lightness in the step and proceeds, all too frequently, to outright capering.
02.
Meadow susceptibility
Open fields, wildflowers, and particularly inviting grassy slopes produce an unreasonable sense of possibility.
03.
Concealed frolicking
You have described an afternoon of enthusiastic prancing as “just getting some fresh air.”
Our solemn commitment
Joy is natural.
Bounding is optional.
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to move through a public space at a controlled, socially unremarkable speed. Whether you have merely flirted with a skip or surrendered entirely to the lure of the dell, there is a place for you here.
“I used to think I could stop at one little hop. Then spring arrived.”— AN ANONYMOUS GAMBOLLER
