The Problem

We want to incorporate self esteem. healthy choices and physical fitness into the lives of the children. We are also combating obesity in children one at a time.

Plan of Action

We go to summer camps and we are able to speak to all ages of children to promote the healthy living agenda. We do a physical activity that is age appropriate and fun, a lesson plan on different topics that always incorporate healthy living, healthy choices in life and with food. Then we leave room for open discussion based on what they have heard and how they can incorporate them in their lives. We also gave out prizes at the end which showed us who was listening and encouraged the others to have a chance to win a prize by using their listening skills.
