Kids Boot Camp was a great success!
Each day started with a block of instruction on Nutrition and Healthy Living. Circle chat allowed each child a chance to share with the group what he/she had for dinner the night before and what they had for breakfast. Fueling your body at breakfast is the best way to start your day! We learned that water is the most important drink, and that we should drink lot's of it! We talked about the Food Pyramid, did fun worksheets and also learned how to be our own Nutrition Detectives (reading food labels and ingredients lists).
After a healthy snack and drink, we were off to our fitness portion of the class. We warmed up our muscles by stretching and exercising. We played fun fitness games, did some partner work, ran through circuits and conquered the obstacle course. There was a lot of sweat, smiles and laughter! Some kids didn't even know they were exercising, because the exercise was cleverly designed as FUN!
We look forward to working with you all during the school year, and hope to see you back next year! Here's to a healthier YOU!
In health,
Coach Lori Marriott
Asst. Coach Julia Marriott

New! Kid's Boot Camp
The camp consists of education on nutrition-diet-exercise and encouragement on how to make healthy choices. After the learning portion of the camp, the kids move on to games and activities all fitness/exercise related. Circle Chat is the final segment of the camp. The kids can ask questions, share stories or thoughts about their experience with exercise, food and diet. Each portion of the camp has an emphasis on all things meant to inspire, educate and motivate children to want to begin to take control of their health at an early age. Most importantly this "boot camp" is meant to be a place where exercise and nutrition are promoted in a fun, non-threatening, non-competitive environment. Please bring a healthy snack, water, and be prepared to workout!
